Williams vanished on Jan. 4 after she was spotted getting into a car along Berkshire Road, according to the Fayetteville police. A missing endangered alert was issued for Williams three days later.
When she disappeared, Williams was considered endangered because she suffered from a cognitive impairment, police said. Her family said she also had limited use of her right leg and right arm and walked with a limp.
