The judge is looking over documents, that could link the two women to possible illegal travel.
The new information in the case, surfaced Thursday.
Louis Ricardo Chachoute, Lawyer U.S. Missionary Defense Team, told reporters the documents do not hold any incriminating information.
"Our clients are innocent because the documents reveal there
is no criminal conspiracy, no kidnapping," Chachoute said.
The Haitian Justice Minister says the investigation into the new element, will dig deeper to see if Silsby and Coulter should stay in Haiti or be released.
Silsby continues to deny doing anything wrong, saying she was only trying to help desperate orphans.
Before the day's new developments, the Haitian judge was investigating charges of kidnapping, after 10 missionaries, including the two women, tried to take 33 children out of Haiti.
