Authorities who took 220 women and children from a polygamist compound weren't sure whether the teen girl whose phone call prompted the raid was among them.
State troopers raided the 1,700-acre West Texas ranch on Friday to look for evidence that the teen, who called authorities a week ago, was married. They planned to continue interviews Monday with some of the women and children, who were transported to a historic San Angelo museum, said Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner.
So far, 18 children have been taken legally in state custody, Meisner said, who explained Friday that the children had either been harmed or were in imminent danger at the compound. She would not give details. The children remain with relatives, and no arrests had been made as of Sunday.

The FBI said Friday it obtained arrest warrants for an employee of an armored car company and his girlfriend as they investigate the disappearance of $7 million in cash and checks from safes.
The FBI appealed for tips on finding Roger Lee Dillon, 22, and his girlfriend, Nicole Boyd, 24. Dillon was charged with bank larceny, and Boyd was charged with aiding and abetting, the FBI said in a statement.
The couple may be accompanied by Boyd's mother, Sharon Gregory, 57. All three are from Youngstown. No arrest warrant has been issued for Gregory, the FBI said.
A pickup truck belonging to Dillon was found in a parking lot in Salem after a resident recognized it from news reports, police said. The FBI towed the truck on Thursday.
The disappearance of the money was discovered Monday at an armored car garage of AT Systems International. Two drivers discovered the safes had been cleaned out and called police.
Officials said the alarm system was deactivated, safes were opened and money to be delivered to banks was gone. Then the alarm system was reactivated. Dillon didn't show up for work Tuesday, the FBI said.
