JSO Update - Monday, Dec 16, 2019
JSO Sheriff - Mike Williams
JSO Sheriff - Mike Williams
- The family has been and remains cooperative at every effort of the investigation
- 100 patrol officers, JFRDs, USR teams out, 150 investigators, 40 recruit class members out searching
- Extensive search that includes a very dense wooded area and that search continues
- Asking the community to remain vigilant, please search property, sheds, under mobile homes, abandoned cars
- Any belief that there is more to the story than these children wandering off? Are you looking at something else like maybe an adult being involved? - "Right now, everything is an option. We are working multiple scenarios. Foul play could be a factor, obviously at this point we just don't know."
- Any inconsistent stories amongst the family members? - "So we've got no indication as of yet that anybody involved or who are close to these children are involved in any way."
- Identified any person of interest?- "No, not as of yet. Again, we're working an extensive search operation, we're also looking at any potential foul play scenarios, a lot of things are at play right now."
- Looking for sex offenders? - "Absolutely. We've done all that. There's a couple in here we've been in heavy contact with. We actually have a radius of a few miles that we're talking in."
- Can you speak to whether or not both parents were home? - "Yeah, both were home and both do live here."
- Have crews found anything? - "So, we have found nothing as of yet"
- Has the family been cooperative, can you describe how they have been to deal with? - "Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. So, I have not spoken to the family. But with the investigators that have talked to them - acting as you could imagine parents would act. And again, cooperative in every way"
- Looking into any type of custodial disputes with the family? - "It is always an option, we're digging into all that at this point."
- Where are they searching? - "Key areas to search as we mentioned obviously retention ponds, we got a dive presence in those areas using sonar, using drones. Heavily wooded areas, especially to the North, we're doing a lot of searching in that area. Abandoned cars, there's a significant number of abandoned trailers in this complex that we're looking at."
- Any history of domestic violence and do the parents live together? - "The two parents do live together, I don't have a record of domestic violence at this point amongst the parents."
- Any working surveillance? - "So we're looking to pull everything we can find. So there is a little bit. And we have pulled what we have found so far and continue to look at that."
- Saw a woman speed down this road, have you talked to them and have they elaborated? - "We've had investigators and people talk to them, I don't know where we are at with that as of yet, but we're looking into that as well."
- Reporter asked "When will you give up?"
JSO says family members are being cooperative in the search for Braxton and Bri’ya Williams.

Sheriff: ‘We have found nothing’ in search for 2 children
Roxanne Lloyd, the children’s paternal grandmother, told News4Jax that the family has been in the home for about two or three years and was preparing for a barbecue when the children’s father went inside for a brief period of time and the children disappeared.
“My son told me that they was fixing to get ready to have a barbecue and the kids was right outside the door, which is probably only steps away from the kitchen. You know, he could look out the kitchen window and see the kids, and he said that he went in the house briefly to get the meat, and when he came back out, they was gone just that quick,” explained Lloyd, who said her two grandchildren had never wandered away before. “We’re asking for all prayers.”
Lloyd said Braxton is a quiet little boy, while Bri’ya is more active and outgoing than her brother. Bri’ya was wearing a gray sweater with multicolored writing on the front and black leggings when she was last seen, authorities said.
Since the boy and girl are so close in age, they’ve always had a close sibling bond, their grandmother said

Neighbor John Rosier said he sees the children outside the house all the time and spoke to their father Sunday night.
“I talked to the dad a little and he’s really torn up," Rosier said. “Even though they’re not my kids, I still feel like they’re my kids because I see them playing over there all the time. We’re just looking through the woods to see if we can see anything. Looking through sheds, dumpsters, whatever.”

According to the sheriff, the family has been cooperative in every way, and “there’s no sign of foul play in the mobile home.” But Williams also said, "We’re working several angles,” and foul play is a possible scenario.
