INDEPENDENCE — Authorities have seized several items, including pornography, computer equipment and weapons, from the home of one of six men charged in a child sex abuse case in western Missouri.

A search warrant from Jackson County shows that deputies took the items last week from the Independence home of 77-year-old Burrell Mohler Sr. Among the items found at Mohler's home last week after his arrest were several computer towers, pornographic magazines and books, several DVDs and cameras. Authorities also found weapons.

According to the warrant, deputies who were at Mohler's home Nov. 10 when he was arrested also saw several magazines depicting incest.

Mohler's wife, Sandra Mohler, told authorities she had discovered the pornography in a false ceiling in the basement two months ago.
