Details of Disappearance

In 1977, Yolanda lived in Los Angeles County, California with her mother, Earlene Williams; her father, James Williams; and her half-sisters Violet Matory and Ivy Matory. On July 20, 1977, a boy named Sir-Kristopher Clay Marshall was spending the night in the Williams/Matory home. That night, the house burned down. Earlene was found inside, the victim of a homicide. James, Yolanda, Marshall, and the Matory children were not in the residence, however.
James was seen with Yolanda, Marshall, Ivy and Violet at a Denny's restaraunt in Grapevine, California at 5:30 a.m. on July 21, the day after their house burned down. Yolanda was wearing a blue jumpsuit at the time. Neither she nor the other children have ever been seen or heard from again. James was picked up by friends in Riverside, California later that day, without the children. He was later convicted of Earlene's murder, but he never revealed the whereabouts of the children and was never charged in their cases.

James is now deceased. Yolanda, Ivy, Violet, and Marshall's cases all remain unsolved.
