ABC11 has obtained several new search warrants filed this week.
Last October, Wellington Dickens III called 911, confessing to killing his children over the course of several months. Authorities later discovered their bodies in the trunk of his car, parked in the garage.

The new search warrants reveal Dickens allegedly communicated with people on the Grinder dating app. Text messages suggest visitors were at the home while the decomposing bodies were in the garage.
Three other search warrants also seek access to Dickens' phones and tablets found at his home. A final warrant requests permission to search a wooded area near the home to look for the infant Dickens claimed died and was buried nearby.
