• A woman reported that a man named Chett Williams lived with her parents in 1998–1999, vanished suddenly, and that her parents poured concrete shortly after his disappearance.
• Property records showed the caller’s parents, Alvin and Bea Hamilton, owned the parcel and that Chett G. Williams had used the address as his residence.
• Othram, funded through Project Grace, secured a relative’s DNA sample that matched the remains, and on Sept. 4, 2025, authorities identified the victim as Chester G. “Chett” Williams III; the homicide investigation continues with no arrests reported.
