Bond set at $1million for mother of missing Florida five-year-old Taylor Rose Williams

Brianna Williams, mother of five-year-old Taylor Rose Williams, is on life support after she apparently attempted suicide around the same time that human remains were discovered in the search for her missing child

The mother of five-year-old Taylor Rose Williams is on life support after her apparent suicide attempt around the same time human remains were discovered in the search for her missing child. 

Brianna Williams was hospitalized following an alleged overdose on Tuesday afternoon, just as Florida authorities were en route to arrest her Taylor’s disappearance.  

The 27-year-old Navy Petty Officer is facing charges of child neglect and giving false information to police. Her bond was set at $1million. 

The announcement of charges and revelations of the suicide attempt came soon after the human remains were discovered in a wooded area near Demopolis, Alabama, six days after Williams reported Taylor missing from their home 500 miles away in Jacksonville, Florida. 

The remains have been submitted for forensic testing to determine if they belong to the missing child. 

The discovery of the remains in Demopolis, Alabama came six days after five-year-old Taylor Rose Williams vanished from her home more than 500 miles away in Jacksonville, Florida

The girl’s mother is reportedly from the county in which the remains were found. 

Williams had been named as a person of interest in her daughter’s disappearance on Monday.

Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said Williams had not spoken with detectives since the day she reported her daughter missing and was no longer cooperating with their investigation. 

Authorities have not confirmed if Williams’ suicide attempt came before or after the discovery of the human remains but did say she had appeared to suffered an overdose after ingesting an undisclosed substance. 

Investigators said no one else is currently in custody in relation to Taylor’s disappearance.

The child was reported missing from her Jacksonville home last Wednesday by her mother. 

Williams had claimed she put Taylor to bed that night but woke up the following morning to find the little girl wasn’t in her room and the back door of their home was wide open. 

Since reporting her daughter missing, authorities said Williams had been staying at the Jacksonville naval air base where she works.

Investigators had issued an alert on Monday asking whether anyone had seen the child and her mother in a black Honda Accord between Jacksonville and Alabama within the past two weeks. 

State, federal and local authorities from Alabama and Florida assisted in the search, which included officers walking through a drainage pond near the child’s home in Jacksonville. 

Authorities have not revealed why they started searching in the wooded area where the remains were uncovered. 

They also wouldn’t elaborate on how long the remains appeared to have been in that location. 

Sheriff Williams revealed last week that it may have been months since Taylor had been seen by anyone other than her mother. 

At least one person has come forward to say they she saw Taylor on June 5 at an on-base daycare facility that her own child also attends at the Naval Air Station Jacksonville.

‘The kids were in the same class all year long, so I had seen her basically every day until the last day of day care,’ the woman told Action News Jacksonville.

It is not clear if Taylor was enrolled in school for the fall.  

Williams moved house within Jacksonville on November 3 and a woman who helped her re-located said she didn’t see Taylor during that time. 

‘We never saw a child. We never heard a child. Nothing,’ Tiffani Nicole, who was hired to help on the move, told WJXT-TV. 

‘I was assuming the kid was in day care, or the child was with a friend, so she can get her apartment cleaned out.’  

Nicole said Williams’ house was messy and that she was behaving strangely.

‘It honestly looked like she had been recently evicted or something because it was not well lived-in if there was a child there,’ Nicole said. 

‘There was old food all over the floor, underneath the couches. There was trash everywhere.’

Nicole said she did help move a toddler’s bed.  

Neighbors at Williams’ new home said they hadn’t seen the young girl since the mother moved in. 

Detectives were trying to speak to Taylor’s biological father, Maurice Tate, who lives in Alabama. 

Family members in Alabama said he hasn’t seen his daughter in about two years since Williams moved from that state to Jacksonville.
