The search warrant instructed officers to look for marriage records or other evidence linking the girl to Barlow and the baby. The warrant authorized the seizure of computer drives, CDs, DVDs or photos.

Those inside the retreat did not respond to requests for comment.

The owner of the Sutton County Steak House in nearby Sonora, Texas, fed the children dinner on Friday and breakfast on Saturday, owner Linda Love told The San Angelo Standard-Times.

"They're singing songs. So happy and sweet and precious. It's heart-breaking," Love said.

State law enforcers declined to comment Saturday and the local sheriff did not return calls. A message line kept by the Department of Public Services stated there would be no further updates, due to a request by the local district attorney.

The 1,700-acre YFZ Ranch is the site of the polygamous sect's first-ever temple, which was completed in 2006. "YFZ" stands for Yearning for Zion, and is named after a song written by FLDS leader Warren Jeffs.

The property was initially purchased as a hunting retreat and since then has been built up to the city of nearly 2,000 that it is.

The group has been led by Jeffs since his father died in 2002. In November, Jeffs was sentenced to two consecutive 5-years-to-life sentences in prison in Utah for being an accomplice to the rape of a 14-year-old girl who wed her cousin in an arranged marriage in 2001. He is now facing multiple charges of sexual misconduct and incest in Arizona, accusing him of performing more child-bride marriages. Prior to his capture, Jeffs was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
