Found Deceased NC - Heather Marie Williams, 25, limited speech and use of arm & leg, got into a car with an unknown person, Fayetteville, 4 Jan 2025 *Arrest*

The Christmas Tree picture on her FB looks like it could have been taken in a hospital or similar setting. As I'm sure she spent a lot of time in medical facilities, I wonder if that's where they met.

Not very familiar with the GAL process. If granted, what would that mean for Marie? Could she be institutionalized against her will?

Seems like a terrible thing to do. But how can you protect someone in this condition if not? As I’ve said previously this is a nightmare for her family. We’re only seeing a small portion of what they have likely experienced with Marie since 2015.

There is a fb post from her father with what I think could be an update.

A missing woman who vanished in Fayetteville last weekend was found dead Friday after she had been killed, police said Saturday.

Ime, as IANAL, her sister will have to demonstrate to a judge that Heather is not competent to manage her own affairs. The judge will also hear from Heather and her representation (a limited GAL appointed specifically for this matter). If it is decided that she is not competent, the scope of the GAL will be litigated and decided. It could be very broad, or it could be limited to a specific matter. I suspect with the parents’ aging and Heather’s continued dangerous behavior, the family would consider an alternative living situation, such as a group home with 24/7 care and supervision. But that is speculation.

SNIPPED:On Saturday, police said detectives on Friday were led to a wooded area near Newark Ave. and State Ave. where Williams was found dead
SNIPPED: “The Police Department’s Homicide Unit has assumed the investigation. This remains an active investigation,” police said in the release Saturday
I wonder what or who led them to the woods?

Devastating.

I assumed this was from a confession of some sort.

Fayetteville Police Department | Fayetteville NC nothing from LE yet but posting to keep an eye on it.

This is absolutely gut-wrenching.

My thoughts are with the Williams family.

Devastating.

Yes, what a tragic outcome for a young woman who'd already suffered so much in her short life.

 

[Tealgrove]

I’m just sick.

So incredibly sad. Those FB videos were horrific. I can’t imagine what this poor woman has been through.

My thoughts are with Heather’s family and friends.

RIP Heather.

Was just about to add/say the same thing my moneys on ex/husband R.I.P Heather

I'm so sad about this. She seems to have been through so much in such a short amount of time.

I have been pursuing this website for a couple of weeks and HMW case drew me in. It was one of the first cases on this website where I was following it everyday, thinking about before falling asleep, wishing for her to be safe. Heck, I made this account just to "Watch" this thread. I don't know why I was so drawn to it. Nevertheless, this news saddens me more than I imagined. I'm so sorry for the Williams family. Most people don't start the new year mourning the loss of their daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, friend.

I looked for him a few moments ago in the Cumberland County jail roster, and he is not listed currently.

I'm the same with the amount of cases on this site I get randomly attached to a few where I follow everything and others what are similar i have a quick read through and they seam to melt/slip away for a while where I'll stumble across them again

Oh I am so very sorry for this update. How terrible!
