North Carolina authorities on Thursday arrested a man in connection with the disappearance and murder of 25-year-old Fayetteville woman Heather Williams.

Williams was reported missing on Jan. 4, when she was last seen getting into a light-colored, four-door sedan just before 10 p.m. in the area of Berkshire Road, according to the Fayetteville Police Department (FPD).

The FPD Homicide Unit, with assistance from the department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team, arrested and charged Tyrell Jaquez Siermons, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, with first-degree murder in connection with Williams’ death.

Authorities located the 25-year-old woman dead in “a wooded area near Newark Ave. and State Ave.” on Jan. 10, six days after she was reported missing.

Siermons is currently being held at the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond. 

Fayetteville police are asking anyone with information to contact Detective E. Alrafai at (910) 723-0327 or Crimestoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477).
