"Authorities say speculations on church investigation ‘hitting the nail on the head’"

Anonymous responses to news articles on the Internet are accurately generalizing what the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating at an Independence church, according to an official involved in the investigation.

Investigators continued on Wednesday searching the New Covenant Faith Center on the 1600 block of North Jennings Road. Monday night, sheriff’s deputies raided the property, armed with a search warrant that gave them access to the church, two residences and two other structures.

They will likely conclude the search today, said Col. Ben Kenney of the sheriff’s office.

Anonymous accounts on Web sites of local broadcast stations have reported claims of child molestation and other types of physical and emotional abuse that happened at or near the church’s property.

Kenney could not say directly that they are investigating child molestation because of a judge’s decision to seal the search warrant. However, he did acknowledge that “everything we’re hearing about” online is “drawing an interest” to the investigation, Kenney said.
