On Jan. 7, 2016, Tyarra Cacique Williams, 19, disappeared from the Stoneybrook Apartments where she lived off Webster Road in Greensboro. She told her mother she would be back in an hour. A month later, flyers asking for help in finding Williams remained posted above the complex’s mailboxes. The case is still unsolved.

• Joseph Rodriguez/News & Record file

Danielle Williams maintains a Facebook account called "Help Find Tyarra Cacique Williams" and on her daughter's 27th birthday in June wrote: At this point in life she should have been done with college and working with children and enjoying life. 

• Joseph Rodriguez, News & Record

Tyarra Willams’ mother, Danielle, talks about her missing daughter in a 2016 interview. Danielle Williams is still working with the police but has stopped giving interviews after appearing on numerous television news shows.
