Williams, aged 28, was last seen leaving his home on Thursday, 3 October, with his family raising the alarm the following day, describing his disappearance as completely out of character.

Police continue to search for clues regarding his location, while the community in Columbia remains hopeful for his safe return. Investigations remain ongoing, though no updates have been provided about the status of his car or whether any other significant clues have been found along the Palmetto Trail.
