MOTHER OF A MISSING 5 YEAR OLD ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AFTER BEING NAMED ‘PERSON OF INTEREST’

Mother of a 5 year old Taylor Rose Williams went crazy after remains of her missing daughter were found.

The remains were recovered from a wooded area in Demopolis, Alabama, on Tuesday, six days after Taylor went missing from her home more than 500 miles away in Jacksonville, Florida, last Wednesday.  

Human remains have been found in the search for missing Florida five-year-old Taylor Rose Williams. 

Demopolis police said the remains have been submitted for forensic testing to determine the victim’s identity. 

Just as authorities announced the discovery, Taylor’s mother, Naval Petty Officer 1st Class Brianna Williams, was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries following an apparent suicide attempt, law enforcement sources told First Coast News.   

Brianna had been named a person of interest in Taylor’s disappearance on Monday. 

The sources say officers were on their way to arrest the 27-year-old when she attempted to take her own life.   

Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams announced at a Monday press conference that the mother has not spoken with detectives since the day she reported Taylor missing and is no longer cooperating with their investigation. 

Brianna Williams claimed that she had put Taylor to bed the prior evening, but woke up the next morning and noticed the girl wasn’t in her room and the back door of their home was wide open. 

The search shifted to Demopolis on Monday, but Sheriff Williams did not disclose why. 

Last Thursday, the sheriff said it may have been months since anyone besides Brianna Williams last saw Taylor. 

In a bleak development, a cadaver dog picked up on scents in the trunk of Williams’ car, sources told WJXT-TV

Although authorities haven’t confirmed the accuracy of the statement, they towed Williams’ car from her home in the Brentwood neighborhood on Wednesday. 

‘There’s not one scenario of theory that we’re not exploring, and every possibility is being looked at,’ the sheriff said at a press conference.   

Asked if he could confirm when Taylor was last seen by anyone other than her mother, the sheriff said: ‘We don’t know. So that is part of what we are digging into.’
