Wilma Marie Williams Went Missing in 1984 From Pennsylvania and Her Case Has Remained a Mystery

EDITED on January 11, 2023:

I originally wrote this news article over a year ago, but since then, new details have emerged. Here is the edited / updated version, below (I also kept the original article beneath the new one for reference):

Wilma Marie Williams went missing sometime in 1984; her precise missing date is unknown. At the time of her disappearance, she was 19 years old, and she had just been released from jail in Pennsylvania. I have yet to determine exactly what date she was released from jail, and knowing this information would help put a more precise date attached to her disappearance; however, here is what is known so far about the events leading up to her disappearance:

Born on October 14, 1964, Williams grew up in Boothwyn, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. As a teenager, she had moved to Florida, but she eventually made her way back to Pennsylvania. She was arrested on August 26, 1983 in Delaware County and indicted on crimes that landed her in Delaware County Prison. She was later arraigned for further crimes on May 7, 1984, where she was sentenced to a minimum of 2 months and 15 days and a maximum of 1 year and 11 months and 29 days. It is unknown if she had already served this time after her court hearing took place, I do not know when she was actually released from jail. I reckon she may have been released from jail anywhere from sometime in 1984 to sometime in 1986.

I have spoken with one of Williams’ contacts from around the time of her disappearance, who only spoke to her when she was in jail in 1983 and does not know what her plans were after her prison release. He had mentioned that before she went to jail, she hung out in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania.

After Williams got released from prison, it is unknown if she moved back to live with her parents briefly before disappearing. The story shared among the family is that she told her parents that she was going to head back down to Florida, and she was never seen again.

Williams’ family members believed that she may have been a Ted Bundy victim; but this theory is debunked because Bundy only committed crimes up until the late 1970s. It seems there may have been a miscommunication within the family that took place. The remaining family also believes that it was said her remains were located, but they cannot locate any proof of her death records or any document to support this allegation.

Williams is currently an unreported missing person, which means they is currently no missing person report on her.

As for her physical description, Williams has red hair, which was sometimes dyed or bleached blonde or had highlights in it. She is Caucasian with brown eyes. She may have had a heart tattoo on an unspecified breast or on one side of her chest.

If you have any information on this case, please comment at the bottom of this page.  I will try to find the correct law enforcement agency who has handled her case, if any records still exist.
