Reading Time: 2 minutes

In October, a North Carolina man named Wellington Delano Dickens III called 911 and told the operator that he had killed four of his children.

Now, Dickens has confessed to burying a fifth child — a one-month-old infant named Riley — in the woods near his home.

Dickens tells authorities that Riley’s health declined shortly after moved to a home in Zebulon, east of Raleigh.

Authorities say they’ve been unable to locate child’s remains

When the child died, Dickens says, he wrapped him in plastic and disposed of the body.

The death was not reported to authorities until the moment that Dickens, 38, made his shocking confession.

Authorities searched the area that Dickens described, but were unable to locate Riley’s body.

According to NBC News, they have requested additional resources to aid in the search.

Johnston County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jeff Caldwell told reporters that the search for Riley’s remains is ongoing and no additional charges have been filed against Dickens.

Latest confession comes weeks after Dickens admitted to killing four children

Dickens has been in police custody since October 27 when he called 911 to confess that he had killed four children.

Police arrived at his home to find four of Dickens’ kids aged 6, 9, and 10, along with his 18-year-old stepchild, inside the trunk of a car parked in his garage.

“Dickens continued to speak with the dispatcher saying that he did not torture his children, he over-disciplined his children and was wanting to turn himself in,” reads an affidavit in the case.

Dickens’ wife passed away in April, leaving him to care for his four children and adult stepchild.

Insiders say he had been acting erratically since his father passed the previous year.
