Daily Herald review and interview

"This is a huge breaking story validating the existence of human sacrifices of children in our society," Byington tells reporter Cathy Allred in her June 2012 feature, Surviving Satan Worship: Author helps victims heal.

Writing the book wasn't easy, and Byington still encounters resistance from the most formidable of opponents. "I know it's Lucifer. I know it's his minions," Byington tells Allred, who at no point evinces skepticism, even as she reports that Jenny Hill

escaped sacrifice by a miraculous intervention -- a light so bright that those performing the ceremony to take her life after raping, desecrating and torturing, could not raise their black sword against her.

"The book has become Byington's mission," writes Allred, "to bring forth the truth and save innocents...."

Salt Lake City Weekly Article

SLC Weekly's Stephen Dark almost expresses skepticism in reporting Judy Byington's version of Jenny Hill's story, in which Hill's multiple personalities are the result of "mind control experiments," and in which Hill "was tortured on an altar and forced to watch the murder of a 6-year-old by a satanic coven, only to be saved by the intervention of an angel."

Dark notes that Hill was diagnosed in the care of one Weston Whatcott, between 1984 and 1985, at the Utah State Hospital, where Westcott--who has also run West-Sands Adoption agency in Utah for decades--decided that "Hill's multiple personalities were a result of childhood trauma, 'namely repeated sexual assaults coupled with ritual abuse.'"

To Dark, Byington also repeats her claim of working with the Utah Attorney General's Office--which the AG's Office denies--although in this version, Byington's role seems more limited, merely that she "talked to a special-investigations unit at the Utah Attorney General's office in 2006."

Byington also repeats her claim that "an FBI agent who looked at Hill's medical records told Byington that there was confirmation that horrendous torture had occurred," but reasons that are anyone's guess, "wouldn't open up a case."

According to Jenny Hill's son, his mother has been mentally ill for as long as he can remember. After receiving the "help" of various Utah psychologists and social workers, such as Judy Byington and her collegaues, who purport to be experts in "occult crime," Jenny came to believe that she suffered brain-washing, rape, and torture, and witnessed child sacrifice, at the hands of an intergenerational global cult of Satanists. Here, alternately crying and laughing and apologizing for using the phrase "hurt like hell," Jenny Hill describes being anally raped with a foreign object (described in Byington's book as a red-hot fire poker) and then watching a child sacrifice.

Tate Publishing Press Release

"Utah Woman Escapes Human Sacrifice" headlines the press release for Judy Byington's alleged nonfiction book, Twenty-Two Faces: Inside the Extraordinary Life of Jenny Hill and Her Twenty-Two Multiple Personalities.

Provided by Tate Publishing's Terry Cordingley (phone: (888) 361-9473 email: terry@tatepublishing.com) the rest of the release continues in no less sensational a fashion. Readers are to believe that Jenny Hill was ritually sexually abused as a child

by a group of black hooded-robed men in painted white faces directed by a Nazi master mind-control programmer known as Dr. Greenbaum. According to Colin A. Ross, M.D., author of the “Twenty-two Faces” Foreword and 17 books on multiplicity or dissociation, clients from different areas of the country have purported this “Dr. Green” was a Jewish turncoat who worked under tutelage of Nazi doctors experimenting on children in concentration camps. Greenbaum was believed brought into the U.S. after World War II....

Readers are also to believe that Byington has, since 2006, "acted as a consultant on satanic crime for the Utah Attorney General’s office of Special Investigations" -- a claim that the Utah AG's office has flatly denied.

The press release also notes the involvement of Weston Whatcott, who in addition to founding West-Sands Adoptions decades ago, was first to treat Jenny Hill back in 1984, at the Utah State Psychiatric Hospital, where Westcott promptly determined 

Jenny’s multiplicity was a result of childhood trauma: repeated sexual assaults coupled with ritual abuse. Her background as so eloquently portrayed in ‘Twenty-Two Faces’ is congruent with what I observed at the hospital including narrative of her alters personalities [sic].

Most disturbing is Byington and Tate Publishing's claim that Jenny Hill witnessed the ritual sacrifice of a six-year-old who has been "identified" as Kathleen Shea. The young girl’s unsolved disappearance from Tyrone, Pennsylvania, in 1965, remains a source of grief to her surviving relatives, and Shea's alleged "identification" by one of the multiple personalities of Jenny Hill is of no use to law enforcement, to say nothing of Shea's family.
