On April 27, 2016, John contacted the Martin County Sheriff's Office to report his Sister Tricia missing. Tricia had not picked her daughter Faith from the babysitter, which was out of the ordinary. When officers checked Tricia's house, everything looked normal, with no signs of a break-in or anything unusual. However, they noticed her car was parked in an unusual spot across from her house. In the car, they found her purse and keys on the passenger seat, but her cell phone and wallet were missing. The deputies then started a search for Tricia, alerting others to be on the lookout for her. Tricia sometimes went for late-night walks on the beach, The detective thought she might have gone for a swim and drowned, but this was just a guess. That night, the deputies spoke to Tricia's brother, who said her ex-husband, Mr. Williams, might have been the last person with her. Mr. Williams, when contacted, said he was in town to visit his daughter, something he often did. Steven Williams was a former Air Force member with no criminal record. Tricia, who had custody of their daughter Faith, allowed Steven to see her anytime. On April 26, Trisha left Faith with Steven for the evening. The next day, Tricia was supposed to pick up Faith from the babysitter and go to work, but she never appeared. Steven, the last person to see Trisha alive, was brought to the Martin County Sheriff's Office for an interview. He explained that he picked up his daughter Faith from the babysitter. That night, around midnight, when Faith became fussy, he texted Trisha, asking her to come and calm Faith. Trisha replied, "On my way, awesome." She arrived, comforted Faith, and made her happy. This was around 12 or 1:00 AM. After calming Faith, Tricia was about to leave, but her car was out of gas, which frustrated Steven. She suggested a nearby gas station, so Steven offered to help. and he drove to the gas station about half a mile away. He bought a gas can, filled it with two gallons of gas, and returned. He put the gas in her car and said good night, telling her they could contact each other the next day. That was the last time he saw her. The next day, Steven took Faith to Walmart and messaged Trisha, but got no response and her phone went straight to voicemail. Not wanting to drive at night and unable to reach Trisha, he decided to leave Faith with the babysitter, where he had picked her up, and then he went home. The detectives found it strange that Steven would leave town without knowing where Tricia was. The detectives suggested to Steven that if he was involved in Tricia's disappearance, whether accidentally or intentionally, it was time to speak up. Meanwhile, the search for Tricia Todd, the missing mother from Hope Sound, continued. She was reported missing on Wednesday. Sheriff William Snyder emphasized the importance of not missing any details, Although there was no evidence of a crime, the circumstances of her disappearance were suspicious. The police searched everywhere for clues about Tricia. During their investigation, they found out some alarming things about Steven's past. They discovered he had killed Tricia's puppies and had a history of troubling behavior. Tricia's mother shared a shocking story about Steven punching Tricia in the stomach when she was pregnant, hoping to cause a miscarriage. Detectives found a problem in Steven's story while reviewing the events. A neighbor saw Steven leaving in Tricia's car, which he hadn't mentioned. Looking for evidence, they got surveillance videos from nearby businesses. The videos showed Tricia's car leaving her house, which was suspicious because Steven said she didn't leave until around 2 a.m. This made Steven a suspect. After looking at videos from three cameras, detectives spotted someone who looked like Steven walking near Tricia's house early in the morning. This person had a unique way of walking and was heading north from Tricia's place. This was a big discovery for the case. The detectives decided to question Steven again with this new information and called him in for another interview at the police station. Detectives told Steven that a neighbor saw him leaving Tricia's car They didn't show Steven the CCTV footage because it was unclear The detectives explained to Steven how they saw Tricia's car pulling in at 12:20 AM and then leaving a few minutes later. They mentioned cameras along US1 capturing footage of people walking, They hinted that one camera had high-definition footage clearly showing it was Steven. The detective, aware of Steven's narcissism, tries to connect with him by speaking poorly about Tricia and complimenting Steven. She asked if something happened that made him panic. Steven denied Tricia coming after him. Steven insisted he didn't know where she was. He explained that the first time he left, Tricia asked him to get her laptop so she could work. Steven explained, that he thought he could leave. But then, decided to turn back. He felt she was unfairly causing him trouble despite his efforts to be good to her.

He expressed regret, saying he couldn't go back and change what happened. If your interested in this story hit like share this video and subscribe to our channel for more videos like this.

The detectives suspected he wasn't leading them to her because something else had happened that night. While driving around with the detectives, Steven couldn't lead them to Tricia. He thought he had avoided arrest and could go home. But he had inadvertently admitted to leaving his daughter Faith alone at home while explaining his story. This led to his arrest for child endangerment, He claimed he just didn't want her to be found dead in his home. The detectives noted his lack of emotion and questioned his feelings for Tricia. Two detectives couldn't get a confession from Steven using aggressive tactics, so they switched strategies. New detective Dan Dulak took over, trying a softer approach to encourage Steven to open up. Steven worried that saying Tricia attacked him would sound like just another inconsistent story. Detective Dan emphasized to Steven that the truth is better than letting people imagine the worst. Steven responded that he never hated Tricia and was just trying to be a good dad. He talked about the night in question, He mentioned issues like child support and a mix-up with a check. He recounted that the situation escalated, and in an attempt to create distance, he pushed her to stop her from yelling in his face. Steven reflected on the incident, feeling that his efforts and character were ruined because he pushed Tricia, causing her to hurt her head. He didn't think he lost his cool but was just trying to move her away.

He planned to kill Tricia beforehand but couldn't do it while spending the day with her. Determined, he texted Tricia saying their 2-year-old daughter, staying with him at an Airbnb, was sick.
