Investigators told Fernandes that they were looking into the case. Police and the family posted that Williams was missing on their social media pages.

Some good Samaritans saw the post and immediately asked the family for the route Williams was supposed to take that night in order to drive it themselves.

“They were driving, and she said she saw a tree,” Sanders said. “The tree was knocked down, she had an uneasy feeling and went back around and, lo and behold, the car was flipped upside down.”

According to Bartow County sheriff’s deputies, Williams had lost control on a sharp curve on Highway 293, crashed and died early Saturday morning.

Investigators said Williams car couldn’t been seen from the road.

Bartow deputies were never searching for Williams because the family reported her missing to Marietta police.

Police say they feel terrible for the family in their time of loss. They said they followed protocol on the case, which is specific for missing adults who aren’t at risk.

“It’s just like – my sister was sitting out there for six days. Six days before she was found,” Sanders said.

Friends and loved told Fernandes that Williams was a beautiful soul and they can’t believe she’s gone.
