Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33542) and 8 other sources
Tricia Williams, a 30-year-old Air Force veteran and mother, went missing from Hobe Sound, Florida, on April 27, 2016. She was last seen the previous night after dropping off her daughter with her ex-husband, Steven Williams. Tricia was expected to pick up her daughter the following day, but she never arrived, leading her family to report her missing.

A massive search ensued, with authorities focusing on the suspicious circumstances surrounding her disappearance. Tricia's car was found near her home with her purse inside, but there was no sign of her. Several days after her disappearance, Steven Williams confessed to murdering Tricia. He led investigators to a site where they discovered her remains, which had been dismembered and placed in an acid-filled barrel.

Steven Williams was arrested and convicted of her murder, bringing some closure to Tricia's family. However, the brutal nature of the crime has left a lasting impact on the community and her loved ones
