Victoria Williams was only 13 years-old when she vanished on October 19th, 2013. The young teen lived with her mother in Newark, New Jersey at the time of her disappearance. On the day she vanished, Victoria left her home on Fabyan Place after telling her mother she was going to meet up with some friends. She never returned home, and her family has never seen or heard from her again.
Reports indicate that authorities believe Victoria left on her own accord, although they have not shared what evidence, if any, there is to support the runaway theory. Due to Victoria's young age at the time of her disappearance, it is very unlikely that she was able to run away and stay undetected without help. Additionally, Victoria had suffered an injury to her foot shortly before she vanished and was wearing a medical boot - a distinguishable feature that would've made it even more difficult for her to run away without being spotted.
Despite all of this, Victoria's disappearance has maintained the label as a runaway case. Some reports state that she may still be in the local area, or that she may have "traveled to San Diego or elsewhere in California." Again, due to Victoria's young age, it seems very unlikely that she was able to travel to California (or anywhere else a long distance away) without help. Investigators have not shared how or why they believe Victoria may have left the state on her own free will.
There are very few additional details available about Victoria's case. Over a decade has passed since she vanished, and she still remains missing today. The Newark Police Department has investigative agency over Victoria's missing persons investigation. If you have any information that could help solve the case, please contact authorities at 973-733-6000.
