Search warrants show that police have seized dozens of documents from a polygamist ranch in Texas, including marriage and birth records.Copies of the warrants were released Friday. The list of records also refers to a "cyanide poisoning document," but offers no other explanation. More than 80 pages of items have been taken from the Yearn for Zion Ranch. It is owned by a breakaway Mormon sect known as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Among the items seized were computer equipment, letters, school and medical records.
Some medical records listed the name of the 16-year-old girl whose call triggered the weeklong raid. But her name was identical to that of several girls in the sect.
