Gov. Susana Martinez says evidence found at a New
Mexico youth ranch for troubled kids corroborates allegations by current and
former students of abuse.
Martinez made the comments on Monday in defense of
the state's handling of an investigation into the Tierra Blanca High Country
Youth Program near Hillsboro .
An Amber Alert and state police manhunt was
launched Friday after officers found the ranch empty when they arrived to take
custody of the children. Pete Domenici Jr., the ranch's attorney, said the
children were safe and being returned to their parents. Martinez says officers
issued the alert as they moved to verify that information. The alert was
cancelled on Sunday.
Police continue to seek the operator of the ranch, Scott
Chandler, for questioning. Chandler has denied any children have been harmed.
