(KUTV) One week after hitting the FBI’s top ten most wanted list and still no sign of polygamist leader Warren Jeffs.

However, FBI agents have been seen outside a ranch in the small town of El Dorado, Texas. Dan Rascon tells us Texas police officers are still playing it safe.

It's here in the small town of Elderado, Texas where locals are starting to keep a very close eye on what's taking place inside this gated community where a temple now stands.

This is where the faithful followers of Warren Jeffs can sometimes be seen coming and going.

The watch has intensified now that Jeff's has hit the FBI's ten most wanted list and his reward has jumped to 100 thousand dollars.

FBI agents can now been seen camping outside the complex.

"We've really tried hard to learn about this group," said Sheriff David Doran of Schleicher County Texas.

The local sheriff is also on alert.

"The mere fact that he has such control on this group is a concern because we don't know what the outcome is going to be," he sheriff said.

So far no one has seen Jeff's.

"There's no doubt he's been on the property," the sheriff said.

The sheriff believes he's communicating with this group.

"Obviously they've been in communication with him obviously they're getting instructions the temple is here this is a very important location," said Sheriff Doran.

Jeff's has been on the run for some time now no sign of him in Colorado City, Arizona in South Dakota or British Columbia and also Elderado, but even his half brother believes it's only a matter of time before they catch him.

"I think he's running harder and faster as the months go on like a scared rabbit."
