Search Intensifies in Torture Inquiry

A major state and FBI investigation of an Elephant Butte, N.M., couple who allegedly kept two women captive for torture expanded with the search of a newly found storage shed and the use of dogs trained to sniff for bodies. But on the 10th day of the intensive investigation by more than 100 officers, officials were silent about whether the accused pair had taken other victims or what had been found in their trailer home. The case was triggered when a bruised and bleeding woman was found running down a road, wearing only a padlocked metal collar.
