Several men in Zebulon, North Carolina, were inside a home while three of the four children of the man they were there to meet were dead in the trunk of his car in the garage of the house, according to search warrants viewed by local news outlet WNCN.
As had been widely reported, Wellington Delano Dickens III, of Zebulon, the man who allegedly contacted men on Grindr for dates after killing his children, called 911 on October 27, 2025, and told dispatchers what he’d done. Deputies who responded found a 3-year-old son alive inside the home, but in the garage, they uncovered what they described as “multiple bodies in the trunk of a vehicle.” Investigators later determined the remains had likely been there for “a long period of time.”
