- Details of Disappearance:
- Cole disappeared in Brooksville, Florida. She was dropped off at a friend’s house on February 8th, 2019, and left around 11 pm. She’s never been seen since. The last anyone saw her, she was walking down Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Three months earlier, in October 2018, Cole was severely attacked – beaten and strangled. She was pregnant and lost her baby because of the attack. Her ex-boyfriend, Dwayne Williams, was charged with attempted murder. Cole was supposed to testify against him on February 11th, 2019, but she disappeared first. She’d been receiving threats and was scared to testify. Her cousin thinks the attack and disappearance are connected. Williams was out on bail when Cole vanished.
Because Cole was the only witness against Williams, and she’s missing, the case against him was dropped in June 2020 for lack of evidence.
Cole left behind a three-year-old son. Her family says, even though she struggled with addiction, she loved her son and wouldn’t have left him. Police suspect foul play, but Cole’s disappearance remains a mystery. A picture of Williams is available.
