A second police search of the Independence property of Burrell Mohler Sr., who is charged with an array of sexual offenses against some of his grandchildren, turned up child incest pamphlets.
Also seized were more adult movies, including a pornographic DVD about having sex with "Grandma & Grandpa," according to new documents released Tuesday.

Other items listed on search warrant affidavits include what authorities are calling "incest porn" as well as homemade videotapes and a book of Mormon stories for children.
While the senior Mohler and most of his sons were active in the Community of Christ church, the oldest son, Burrell "Ed" Mohler Jr., 53, joined the Mormon church in 1992. He was excommunicated in 2007 for personal conduct unrelated to child abuse.
Burrell Mohler, 77, is in jail in Lexington, Mo., along with his four sons and a brother from Florida. Authorities say the men carried out years of sexual abuse on children as young as 5 in the extended family. Darrel Mohler is being held in Florida. In all, the Mohler men face 42 charges.
The search of Mohler's home in the 1300 block of Dodgion Street was conducted Friday by the Jackson County sheriff's office. Authorities think some of the alleged assaults against the Mohler children were photographed or taped.
The first search of Mohler's home yielded incest magazines and recording equipment.
Similarly, a search of a Columbia , Mo., house belonging to his son Jared Mohler, 48, also turned up computers, tapes and video equipment.
The other sons are Jared Mohler, 48, of Columbia; David Mohler, 52, of Lamoni, Iowa; and Roland Mohler, 47, of Bates City, Mo.
