I'm reading through family fb's to try & figure out where she was last seen - like did she actually disappear from her town in California, or was she visiting with someone interstate?

No luck confirming so far, so at this point I'm just going to assume she was last known to be in her local area seeing as they're making a point of saying she was from California & had no (known to family) reasons for visiting Charlotte

A set of California parents have nothing but questions after their daughter was found dead in a wooded area in southwest Charlotte in July.

Police say 28-year-old Samechiko Williams was found on someone?s property on the 200 block of Ann Maria Drive by a resident of the area. It appears her body had been there for several days before it was discovered.

Previous: Death investigation underway after woman?s body found in southwest Charlotte The family tells WBTV that when Williams was found, she wasn?t wearing any clothing. Police have not confirmed this detail.

According to family, the young mom of two small children had no ties to the Charlotte region and they cannot imagine what she would have been doing in this part of the country.



Officials will not know the cause of death until the Medical Examiner?s office has a chance to conduct their part of the investigation, but CMPD says the young woman?s body showed no signs of trauma.

At this time, the Medical Examiner?s Office has listed the cause and manner of death as ?pending.? This is an active and ongoing investigation.

Anyone with further information about the case is asked to call 704-432-TIPS or Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600
