Sylvia Williams, 55, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds in her Hammond, Indiana, mobile home in the winter of 2020. A relative discovered her on a Wednesday, and her death was officially ruled a homicide. She had survived an earlier shooting the prior November that left her with gunshot wounds to the stomach and leg.

The sole suspect named in the murder is her 56-year-old ex-boyfriend, Charles Goforth. Prosecutors say Goforth had been arrested in November on an attempted murder charge after that earlier shooting, was released on bond of nearly $8,000 and returned to his home in Independence, Missouri. After his release, prosecutors say he called Williams repeatedly. Investigators used cellphone records and license plate reader data to place Goforth traveling from Missouri to the Sheffield Estates mobile home park where Williams lived. He was arrested the day after the homicide in Missouri, charged with first-degree murder, extradited to Indiana and held without bond in the Lake County Jail.

What can anyone who knew Sylvia or her movements in Hammond in 2020 add to the timeline?
