Federal Trafficking Indicator Assessment Request — In the Matter of Chalice Angel Welch
This brief organizes the documented evidence in the disappearance of Chalice Angel Welch according to federal human-trafficking statutory criteria. It is submitted as a formal request for the FBI Dallas Field Office to assess the documented indicators under applicable federal trafficking statutes and programmatic frameworks, and to confirm whether federal evaluation has been or will be conducted.
The subject — Chalice Angel Welch, age 24 at disappearance, mother of four, of Arlington, Texas — has been missing since February 2–3, 2024 (over 29 months as of the date of this submission). The initial missing-person report was filed with the Irving Police Department (Case #24-0002532); the entire post-incident evidentiary chain is located within Dallas city limits. To date, no federal investigation has been publicly confirmed, and no CLEAR Alert has been issued.
The documented record reflects the following indicators consistent with commercial sex trafficking conduct as defined under this statute:
The documented record supports threshold indicators relevant to this statute:
The FBI maintains a broad human-trafficking program, including its Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force infrastructure, which addresses trafficking cases involving both adult and minor victims and operates through multi-agency coordination across jurisdictional lines. AIDBIPOC does not assert that this framework requires the Bureau to accept or investigate this case. AIDBIPOC requests that the documented indicators be assessed under applicable federal frameworks to determine whether a federal inquiry, investigation, referral, or other coordinated response is warranted.
Texas authorities recognize that human trafficking occurs throughout the state and that available data do not capture its full prevalence. AIDBIPOC does not offer regional prevalence as proof of trafficking in this case. Its request rests on the specific documented indicators submitted for agency assessment.
Based on the documented indicators above, AIDBIPOC submits that this case presents indicators warranting formal evaluation under 18 U.S.C. § 1591 and § 2421, and that the case profile is consistent with matters for which the FBI’s human-trafficking program infrastructure and Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force were established.
AIDBIPOC respectfully requests that the FBI Dallas Field Office evaluate whether federal assessment is appropriate in this matter and provide a written response within the confirmed-receipt response window established in the attached Request letter.
AIDBIPOC respectfully requests that the FBI Dallas Field Office provide, within the ten (10) business day confirmed-receipt response window established in the attached Request letter:
(1) Written confirmation of whether a federal preliminary inquiry has been opened, or a written statement of the Bureau's position if not;
(2) Written confirmation of whether any referral has been received from Irving PD or Dallas PD, and the disposition of any such referral;
(3) Written confirmation of whether the documented trafficking-platform advertisements and the cross-state phone number network traced to Roswell, Georgia have been evaluated by Bureau personnel; and
(4) Written confirmation of coordination status with Irving PD, Dallas PD, Texas DPS, and any other federal partners relevant to a case of this multi-jurisdictional profile.
Review the documented record, add your name to the petition, and send verified information through the appropriate channel.
