Robert D. Williams, 34, was reported missing from Terry, Mississippi, on February 17, 2019 after family members lost contact with him. His disappearance lasted just over two weeks before his body was found beneath the Owens Road bridge in Terry on March 1, 2019. The Hinds County coroner ruled the death a homicide, listing a gunshot wound to the chest as the cause of death.

The Hinds County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation but had not identified any immediate suspects. Robert’s vehicle was recovered in another town and brought to a police impound, then later stolen from that lot — an incident investigators say may have compromised evidence. Law enforcement continued to seek public help, and in spring 2022 Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers offered a reward for information.

No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced; anyone with information that could help solve Robert’s murder is asked to come forward.
