A 6-year-old Georgia girl who vanished from Smyrna in 2021 has been found safe in Mexico.
According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, police say Majesty Williams was located Saturday in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Police arrested the child’s mother, 34-year-old Andrea McCord, and McCord’s boyfriend, Custodio Guerra.
McCord allegedly abducted Majesty on April 1, 2021, while the child’s father, James Williams, was outside working in the yard. After she fled in Williams’ car with Majesty, McCord later sent Williams a text, telling him she left his car at a nearby grocery store, according to what he told police.
