Missing person: Brenda Williams


UPDATE: Police find missing woman

Police located a woman missing since Sunday a little after 9:30 p.m. Thursday, June 4.

Fifty-year-old Brenda L. Williams contacted police from a relative’s home. She told police she left her home about midnight to get something to eat four days earlier when she was forced into her vehicle by two unknown black males in their late teens or early 20s. She reported that the males drove her around in her vehicle – a full-size white van she drove for work – for four days, assaulting her repeatedly. At about 5 p.m. June 4, she said the van was almost out of gas, so the suspects stopped near I-435 and Independence Avenue and ran from the scene. She drove the van home and contacted her family, who later called police. She was treated by MAST ambulance personnel for minor injuries.

The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information about the case should call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
