TRAPPED UNDER HOUSE Cops Find 3 Missing Kids Trapped Under Man’s House Pinned Behind A Boulder (Body Cam Footage)

A terrifying case out of Fernley is drawing national attention after three missing children were found hidden beneath a home in what investigators are calling a deeply disturbing situation.

The ordeal began when a mother, frantic and in tears, contacted police to report that her children had gone missing. Using phone tracking, she was able to pinpoint their location to a residence on Johnson Lane—information that would prove critical in the search.

When officers arrived, they were met by a man identified as Gummo Abote Sedra. He reportedly claimed to be a landscaper, but authorities say his behavior immediately raised red flags. According to reports, he appeared nervous, gave inconsistent answers, and at one point attempted to flee the scene, further intensifying suspicion.

Police moved quickly to secure the property and conduct a search. What they discovered next was chilling.

The three missing children were found trapped inside a dark crawl space beneath the house. Investigators say the space had been deliberately blocked off with a large boulder, effectively sealing the children inside. The conditions were described as confined, hidden, and extremely dangerous.

Authorities have not yet released full details about how long the children were inside or how they ended up there, but the circumstances have already prompted serious concerns about intent and premeditation.

The children were safely recovered and are now being evaluated, while the suspect has been taken into custody. Law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate the case, including how the suspect may have come into contact with the children and whether additional charges could follow.

The incident has left the community shaken, with many expressing relief that the children were found alive—but also alarm over how close the situation came to ending in tragedy.

As the investigation unfolds, officials are urging anyone with additional information to come forward, while emphasizing the importance of quick reporting and the role technology played in locating the children in time.
