US media say there may be up to 30 dismembered bodies including children buried there.

Liberty County Sheriff's Department spokesman Rex Evans says the office received an anonymous report on June 7 that there were bodies in the home.

Police are seeking a search warrant for the property, whose residents are said to be "uncooperative".

So far, Mr Evans said, no bodies have been found.

Aerial shots on local TV stations showed a dozen police vehicles parked along a road in wooded country.

The FBI confirmed it had been asked to take part in an investigation.
