Hamilton Police Chief Jordan Carter said Terry was last seen with 49-year-old Charles David Williams Jr. at a Love’s gas station truck stop on Interstate 22.
“Ms. Terry then left with this male from the Love’s in Jasper, and continued I-22 westbound from that location,” he said. “We believe she did occupy a vehicle that was in a ditch located on I-22 near Exit 22, which is County Road 45.”
