During their raid on the Dallas Catholic Diocese offices this month, police said they seized settlement agreements, files on former bishops and records from the diocesan review board, which looked into allegations of sexual abuse by priests.

Court records, first reported by WFAA-TV (Channel 8) and obtained Wednesday by The Dallas Morning News, detailed the numerous records police now have as they continue their investigation. Police are required to return an inventory of seized items to the judge who signed the search warrant affidavit.

Dallas police officials declined to comment Wednesday but have previously called the raid “wholly appropriate." A detective wrote in a search warrant affidavit that during his investigation, he uncovered new allegations against five priests and that the diocese had stonewalled or handed over incomplete records for months.

...According to the search warrant return, police obtained insurance claims, terminated employee records, meeting notes, personnel movement letters and review board documents. Police also seized documents related to former bishops Charles Grahmann and Thomas Tschoepe, who previously led the Dallas diocese amid several sexual abuse scandals. Both are now dead.
