The significance of the items was not known. The suspect, Pedro Hernandez, has a grown daughter.

One official said a computer belonging to Hernandez's daughter was taken from the Maple Shade, N.J. home where police searched on Wednesday. Police got a second search warrant for a Matchbox car and a pair of children's shorts that they removed from the home, according to sources familiar with the case.

Hernandez, 51, is charged with second-degree murder in the 33-year-old case.
