Willie Lee Williams was last seen on October 1, 2010, in Chapmanville, West Virginia. At just 18 years old, he disappeared, leaving behind a family and community desperate for answers. For years, little was known about what had happened to Willie. Then, in 2015, new information led investigators to reexamine the case. Two men — Freelin Vance and Anthony Baisden — were arrested and charged in connection with Willie’s death. Though there are still many unanswered questions, Willie’s case remains open, and he is not forgotten by those who continue to seek justice on his behalf.
