Remains Found In Search For Missing 5-Year Old Taylor, Mom Arrested And Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt
Investigators have found remains in Alabama believed to be missing 5-year old Florida girl, Taylor Rose Williams, and her mother has been arrested in connection to the crime.
The remains were located in a wooded area between two towns in Marengo County, located about 100 miles west of Montgomery, police said.

Sheriff Williams said that while authorities believe the remains are Taylor’s, it hasn’t been officially confirmed by DNA testing — and many questions haven’t been answered.
Taylor’s mother, Brianna Williams, is charged with felony child neglect and making false statements to police, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said Tuesday. Brianna is currently in the hospital in serious condition after an apparent overdose, Williams added.
The young girl was reported missing from her Jacksonville, Florida, home last Wednesday.
Brianna Williams originally told investigators that her daughter was gone when she woke up November 6. But authorities said that it’s been weeks since Taylor was last seen, and that there were inconsistencies in Brianna’s story, CBS News correspondent Mireya Villarreal reported.
Reports are saying that Brianna is now quiet and not cooperating with authorities.
There is a $4,000 reward out for anyone with information regarding this case.
