A Roosevelt man missing since January and suspected of sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of production and possession of child pornography.
Bill Dwayne Dulen, 40, has been missing since Jan. 5, when his wife confronted him in a phone call with allegations of child sex abuse after she found a note from the alleged victim to her husband in the couple's home. There is an outstanding warrant for Dulen's arrest on two state counts of aggravated sex abuse of a child.
According to a two-count indictment handed up Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Dulen convinced his alleged victim — for a period of two years — to engage in sexually explicit conduct while he photographed her. He is also accused of having child pornography on a computer seized from his home following his disappearance.
Roosevelt Police Lt. Ben Lemmon said investigators have had no luck tracking down Dulen since his abandoned truck was found in a remote area of Uintah County two days after the confrontation with his wife. Several searches of the area turned up footprints leaving the vehicle's passenger side and walking back to another set of tire tracks. There were no other footprints in the freshly fallen snow.
