Cheryl Lynn Williams, 37, of Simsboro, Louisiana, was last seen on July 20, 2004, at her uncle’s trailer in the Fellowship Community of Ruston on Highway 507. A witness said Williams was seen running east from the trailer into a large, heavily wooded area wearing a red t-shirt, stonewashed blue jeans, and brown slip-on shoes. Her sister Lari Talbert reported her missing several days later.

Williams had a history of drug use and had disappeared for short periods before, but family members stressed she would not likely stay away long because she had two daughters and a sick mother. Foul play was suspected early, and a man known to Williams, Lonnie Frazier Jr., was identified as a person of interest. In 2019 Louisiana State Police joined the inquiry and Frazier, then 70, was arrested on a second-degree murder charge; he was later released when a grand jury declined to indict. Williams’s body has never been found and the case remains open.

Does anyone who lived in Fellowship or Ruston in 2004 recall seeing Cheryl that day or have information about the wooded area east of the trailer?
