Three Indicted in Alabama Child Abuse Bunker Case

Three men—William Chase McElroy, Dalton Terrell, and Andres Velazquez-Trejo—have been arrested and indicted in Bibb County, Alabama, after a months-long investigation revealed the sexual abuse, trafficking, and kidnapping of children aged 3 to 10 in an underground bunker in Brent. The alleged crimes took place between early 2024 and April 2025 and include multiple counts of first-degree rape, sodomy, kidnapping, and human trafficking. Court records state that Terrell allegedly paid adults for access to children for sexual assault. Sheriff Jody Wade emphasized zero tolerance for such crimes and pledged full prosecution. The investigation involved multiple agencies and remains ongoing, with officials urging anyone with information to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office. All three suspects are currently being held in the county jail.
