A former Catholic brother accused of molesting students at Roncalli High School during the 1960s and 1970s has time on his side.

The local criminal investigation of William Mueller is essentially closed because the statute of limitations has expired, although civil suits against him are still pending.

Pueblo police Sgt. Troy Davenport on Wednesday said the probe is dead unless more recent allegations against Mueller surface.

"We have talked to everybody that we know of who has made the allegations (locally)," said Davenport. "So far, everything we have been able to discover is outside the statute of limitations."
