JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – News4Jax on Tuesday obtained new body camera footage of Brianna Williams, the mother accused of abusing her 5-year-old daughter, Taylor.
The Jacksonville girl’s remains were found in a wooded area of Marengo County in rural Alabama on Nov. 12, six days after Williams reported her missing.

The discovery material contains more than 100 clips of body cam footage from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
One clip includes a 7 minute interaction with JSO. Williams, a Navy petty officer, is wearing her fatigues in the driveway of the home that she had just moved into in Brentwood, telling police that she woke to find Taylor missing.
Video recorded on Nov. 6 shows Williams appears to be crying as officers approach her.
According to investigators, police would later determine that Williams had traveled to Alabama prior to reporting her child missing -- the same area where her child’s remains were later found.
Williams shows the officer the unlocked door she claims was open and possibly the door her child walked out of. She tells officers she last saw Taylor around midnight when she put her to bed.
The police officer calls another investigator about the situation.
The officer begins to search the yard and goes inside the house. Taylor is not there.
Police put out the first notification of a missing child as Williams begins to cry again.
Within hours, police, investigators and strangers began looking for Taylor.
In one of the videos, a detective can also be heard asking about a cellphone found in her house. It’s critical, because detectives said that later in the investigation, the data on Williams’ cellphone led police to Taylor’s body in Alabama.
Williams faces charges of aggravated child abuse, neglect, tampering with evidence and lying to police.

Williams is being held on more than $1 million bond. Based on Florida sentencing guidelines, if Williams were to be convicted on all five charges, she could face decades in prison.
Williams pleaded not guilty to the updated charges and waived her right to a speedy trial. She is due back in court for a pretrial hearing on Jan. 5.
