Federal Jurisdiction Evidence Brief

Federal Trafficking Indicator Assessment Request — In the Matter of Chalice Angel Welch

RE: Chalice Angel Welch — NamUs MP116308 · Missing since February 2–3, 2024. Prepared as Exhibit 3 to AIDBIPOC Formal Request to the FBI Dallas Field Office, dated July 31, 2026.

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.

I. Case Identification & Local Status

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.

II. Federal Trafficking Indicators — Organized by Statute

18 U.S.C. § 1591 — Sex Trafficking of Children or by Force, Fraud, or Coercion

The documented record reflects the following indicators consistent with commercial sex trafficking conduct as defined under this statute:

Trafficking-Platform Advertisements
Escort advertisements bearing the subject's likeness appeared on known trafficking-associated platforms both before and after the subject's disappearance — a pattern consistent with the commercial advertising of victims by traffickers.
Cross-State Phone Network
Phone numbers linked to the trafficking-platform postings have been traced to an individual in Roswell, Georgia, establishing the multi-state network element relevant to federal jurisdiction under § 1591(a)(1) ("in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce").
Pre-Disappearance Targeting
A documented, coordinated year-long effort to pressure the subject to relocate to Dallas preceded her disappearance — coinciding with the first appearance of trafficking-platform advertisements using her likeness. This temporal coincidence is consistent with trafficker-victim recruitment and isolation patterns.
Incapacitation Evidence
Multiple eyewitnesses reported the subject appeared heavily intoxicated and was physically assisted into a vehicle when departing the Embassy Suites gathering of February 2, 2024. Incapacitation evidence is probative of the "force, fraud, or coercion" element under § 1591(a)(2).
18 U.S.C. § 2421 — Transportation for Illegal Sexual Activity

The documented record supports threshold indicators relevant to this statute:

Cross-Jurisdictional Transport
Evidence indicates the subject was transported across city limits while incapacitated — from Irving-area events to a Dallas Airbnb location.
GPS Interference
The subject's GPS-enabled device was deliberately rendered inoperable at 4:36 AM on February 3, 2024 — approximately 38 minutes after her last confirmed sighting on surveillance. Carrier records confirm intentional tampering. Destruction of GPS-capable devices at the onset of a disappearance is consistent with victim-isolation tactics documented in trafficking cases.
Multi-State Network Nexus
The Georgia-traced phone number network (noted under § 1591 above) supports an interstate transportation and solicitation nexus beyond any single-state framework.
Pattern Assessment: The combination of (i) pre-disappearance trafficking-platform advertisements, (ii) pre-planned relocation pressure, (iii) incapacitation at a social gathering, (iv) GPS device destruction at the onset of disappearance, and (v) a multi-state phone network traced to Georgia, is consistent with multi-jurisdictional trafficking indicator patterns that federal human-trafficking task force frameworks are designed to assess and investigate.

III. Applicable Federal Programmatic Frameworks

FBI Human Trafficking Program — Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force Infrastructure

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.

Regional Context

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.

IV. Finding & Formal Submission

AIDBIPOC Formal Submission

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.

V. Requested FBI Response

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.

Note on Sources: All evidentiary claims presented in this brief are drawn from the documented record referenced in AIDBIPOC's formal Request letter and its supporting Case Documentation Package (Exhibit 4). Claims identified as "documented," "confirmed by the carrier," or "reported by eyewitnesses" refer to records as represented to AIDBIPOC by the subject's family, advocacy contacts, and ongoing case coverage. AIDBIPOC submits this brief in good faith as the sourced basis for its formal Request and welcomes the Bureau's independent verification of each indicator.
