Denise Williams was a 21-year-old African-American woman and mother of two who was reported missing in 2003. Her body was later recovered floating in Cokey Swamp about five miles southeast of Rocky Mount, North Carolina. She had earned a GED from Edgecombe Community College and hoped to work in telecommunications.

Her death is treated as the earliest known killing in a series attributed to the Edgecombe County serial killer, known as the Seven Bridges Killer. Between 2003 and 2009, authorities found 10 to 11 African-American women dead in Edgecombe and Halifax counties; many of the victims had histories of prostitution and drug addiction and several bodies were recovered near Seven Bridges Road in Rocky Mount. In 2009 Antwan Maurice Pittman was arrested, linked by DNA to Taraha Nicholson, convicted and given life without parole; he is regarded as a prime suspect in the other cases but has not been charged in them. The investigation remains open and authorities ask anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone who knew Denise or lived in the Rocky Mount area around 2003 see anything that could help investigators?
