Per FBI Indianapolis:
An active-duty U.S. Marine has been arrested after allegedly traveling from North Carolina to Indiana to meet, kidnap, and sexually assault a 12-year-old Hammond girl. William Richard Roy, 24, of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, was taken into custody by the FBI in Durham, North Carolina, on October 26, 2025.
The investigation began on October 25, 2025, when the FBI Indianapolis Field Office’s Merrillville Resident Agency received information from the Hammond Police Department regarding a missing 12-year-old girl believed to be traveling with Roy. The child’s grandmother had reported her missing earlier that day.
Through the coordinated efforts of the FBI, Hammond Police Department, and U.S. Marshals Service, it was determined Roy allegedly flew to Chicago on October 24, 2025. The following day, he took an Uber to Hammond, where he met the child at a park. The two then traveled by Uber back to Chicago, stayed overnight at a hotel, and later boarded a Greyhound bus bound for Durham, North Carolina.
When the bus arrived in Durham on October 26, agents from the FBI Charlotte Field Office’s Greensboro and Raleigh Resident Agencies took Roy into custody and safely recovered the child.
The arrest of Roy marks the second arrest of a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune in recent months.
