In the copy of the search war­rant af­fi­davit and sup­port­ing ma­ter­i­als The Times ob­tained from Los Angeles County Su­per­i­or Court re­cords, the names of most al­leged vic­tims and con­fid­en­tial in­form­ants were re­dac­ted. Where the names had not been re­dac­ted, The Times re­dac­ted them. The Times also re­dac­ted per­son­al identi­fy­ing in­form­a­tion of oth­er vic­tims named in the doc­u­ments who are un­re­lated to the Nich­ols and Valen­zuela case.
