Tyarra Cacique Williams was 19 when she disappeared from Greensboro, North Carolina, on the evening of January 7, 2016. That day she had just enrolled at Guilford Technical Community College and spent time with family before going to her grandmother’s apartment in the Stoneybrook complex. Around 8:00 PM she told family she would visit a friend in the same complex and be back in about an hour. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt, a black North Face jacket, blue jeans, and a royal blue knit cap.

Phone GPS showed she reached a friend’s apartment and was walking back when the phone’s signal stopped; investigators say the signal loss was consistent with the phone being turned off or the battery dying. An ex-boyfriend later told police he met with her in his car that night for about 20 to 30 minutes and said she then walked back toward her grandmother’s apartment; a search of his vehicle found no evidence. Police suspect foul play, searches of the area produced no trace, and retired detectives have reviewed the file but the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Tyarra, saw her in Stoneybrook on January 7, 2016, or has information about her movements that night, please come forward.
