Williams was last seen in Goddard, Kansas, located just west of Wichita. Her disappearance has left her mother and community heartbroken and determined to bring her home safely.

According to the latest alert shared by the family, Karma is described as:
- Age: 17

She may still be in the Sedgwick County area or possibly moving through other Kansas cities, investigators said.
Karma’s mother continues to search tirelessly, making public appeals and urging residents to share her daughter’s photo across social media.
“One month. Thirty nights. No answers. No peace,” the post read. “Just a mother praying someone — anyone — helps bring her daughter home.”
