Officials remain mum on girl rescued from 'imminent danger' Video

Fifteen hours after sheriffs deputies pulled a missing 16-year-old girl from a South Valley house and arrested a man with her, officials arent shedding any further light on what happened.

Throughout Monday night and Tuesday morning, FBI agents and deputies remained at the house on Kelly Avenue near Atrisco investigating the scene.

Monday evening, California authorities contacted the sheriffs office to say they suspected the missing Los Angeles-area girl was at the Kelly Avenue house.

When deputies approached, they were able to see in a window.

What they witnessed was chilling, said Sheriff Darren White, refusing to elaborate. He later said, Her safety and well being were in serious danger.

The man in the house was taken into custody and the girl was taken to University of New Mexico Hospital for a medical evaluation.

A neighbor of the man in the house, whose name has not been released, said that he suspected something wasnt right.

Lots of people knew that something was funny, said Brian Johnson. They had to know. They had to see him. Johnson said the man was very attentive to small children.

A press conference at the sheriffs office that may provide more details has been scheduled for this afternoon.
