"A Monterey County Superior Court judge denied releasing search warrants to the media that would shed more light on a Salinas child abuse investigation.Warrants that police obtained to search an apartment where Tami Joy Huntsman, Gonzalo Curiel, and at least six children lived, will remained sealed for 90 days because of the court order.READ: Search warrant sealing orderOn Dec. 13, Salinas police broke down the front door at 501 Fremont Street to check on 3-year-old Delylah Tara and 6-year-old Shaun Tara. No one was home and the apartment was in disarray.Homicide detectives said they believe Delylah and Shaun were slain in Salinas on Nov. 27 or Nov. 28 before Huntsman and Curiel put their bodies in plastic storage containers, drove 300 miles to Redding, Calif., and hid the bodies in a storage locker.Search warrants are usually released to the media and public within 10 days of a request.PHOTOS: 2 kids found dead in lockerJudge Albert Maldonado wrote, \"Making all of the documents related to this search warrant open to the public within 10 days could jeopardize the lives and well-being of witnesses who have cooperated with the police in providing information about a duel homicide which occurred between Nov. 27, 2015 and Nov. 28, 2015 in the City of Salinas.\"Huntsman, 39, and Curiel, 17, are charged with murder, torture, and child abuse. Curiel was charged as an adult.The judge's order also hints that the arrests of Huntsman and Curiel may not be the last in this case.\"The facts presented in support of this sealing order indicate that this warrant is likely to be the first of one or more additional search warrants. Making the information public makes it more likely that the suspects or their associates will flee or attempt to destroy evidence or intimidate witnesses,\" Maldonado wrote.The warrants could be unsealed after 90 days unless the court grants an extension.As of Thursday, the Salinas Police Officers Association Victims Fund had raised $8,000 to help the surviving 9-year-old victim and pay for funerals for Delylah and Shaun.DONATE: How you can help: Salinas child abuse victimsTIMELINE:Last week, Salinas police and Monterey County prosecutors released the following timeline:Friday, December 11: Plumas County Sheriff's deputies responded to a house in Quincy, Calif. to check the welfare of a nine-year-old girl.
