(July 11, 2008)--FBI investigators have searched a San Antonio-area landfill for a safe that allegedly belongs to the former stepfather of a slain 12-year-old Vermont girl whose body was found last week.

Brooke Bennett disappeared on June 25.

Her body was found buried in Randolph, Vt. after a weeklong search.

Investigators think the safe for which agents are searching contains child pornography.

It belongs to Raymond Gagnon, who was married to the slain girl’s mother.

Gagnon, 40, of San Antonio faces obstruction of justice charges in the girl's disappearance, while the girl’s uncle Michael Jacques, has been charged in her kidnapping.

Jacques is a registered sex offender.

Prosecutors claim he was planning to induct the girl into a sex ring.

An FBI spokesman says investigators have searched for the safe over the past week.

Gagnon rented a room in San Antonio from Kevin Grosenheider, who according to an affidavit told authorities he threw the safe into an apartment complex garbage bin near his home at Gagnon's request.

Grosenheider is quoted in an affidavit as saying he didn't know what was in the safe "but assumed it was child pornography."

Federal prosecutors said Gagnon tried to access his ex-stepdaughter’s MySpace account "on or about" June 26 from a library computer in Cullman, Vt.

Did Brooke Bennets mom know that Brooke's Uncle was a registered sex offender? Did the step day also molest the daughter or only the Uncle? Which man killed Brooke? Where was the mom when this took place?

Sounds to me like that Kevin Grosenheider should be arrested ALSO, for tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice!
