Police in Santa Barbara have no trouble at all finding Neverland.
Investigators with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department were back at Michael Jackson's fairy-tale digs Friday--search warrant in hand, something in mind.
What the something was was not known. The department said only that the warrant was served as part of an "ongoing criminal investigation."
Jackson, 46, has not called Neverland his primary residence since law enforcement first swarmed its grounds in November 2003.
That sweep led to a 10-count indictment that will have Jackson standing trial starting Jan. 31 for alleged child molestation.
The formerly chart-dominating pop star is accused of molesting a boy at Neverland, plying him with wine and conspiring to keep him and his family under wraps. Jackson has pleaded innocent to all charges. He remains free on $3 million bail.
f Friday's search was directly related to the current case, no one was saying. Mum was the word from Jackson's attorney, prosecutors and police. (The judge in the child-molestation case has all parties stifled by the strictest of gag orders.)
Jackson bought the 2,600-acre Neverland Ranch, located in Los Olivos in Santa Barbara County, in 1988. The Peter Pan admirer outfitted the grounds to include a zoo, an amusement park and numerous statues of author J.M. Barrie's eternal sprite.
One month after the first police raid, Jackson said he could never again live in his paradise lost.
"I'll visit Neverland. It's a house now. It's not a home anymore. I'll only visit there," Jackson told CBS' 60 Minutes.
Earlier this year, Jackson was said to have moved himself and his three children into a rented Beverly Hills-area mansion.
Neverland hasn't exactly gone dark since then. In January, Jackson bused hundreds of supporters there for a post-courtroom bash following his first arraignment on molestation charges.

what, who knows, they think they'll probably find something else there, in a secret hiding place or something. Like they do on law and order or or nypd blue when they go back to the crime scene after a tip. Hell, this ain't either one of them, (real life) and they should stop playing unless they have a tip or something
I'm trying to understand what they need his DNA for........the thoughts that are running through my head aren't kosher so I better leave it alone.....*wonders what on earth they have to compare his DNA to and most importanly where it was found*
i HATE the damn DA working on this case...he has it in for michael...im not saying that michael did or did not do it, but i feel like they will try to stretch any info they can to get michael...grrr

i so agree. this does not have anything to do with guilt or innocence anymore.

Unfortunately society feels the need to inflict disturbance and slander on people who don’t follow the norm.
It's quite sad when someone who is expressing themselves differently or is a non-conformist has to suffer from all sorts of accusations.
If these "detectives" (I use that term loosely) would do some research they could see that Michael Jackson has the total opposite characteristics of the "typical pedophile"
In all honesty I think the reason why he likes to contribute to kid's charities and donates his time to making kids happy is because he didn't have much of a childhood himself and feels that it's important that people contribute time and money towards kids.
This is just my opinion and does not mean he is guilty or innocent, but I sometimes wish that people would have some tact and just leave the non-conformists alone.
