Life for Joyce Williams has not been the same since Friday, June 6. It was on that day the body of her youngest of three children, 19-year-old Andrew Atterbury, was discovered in Vineyard Town, confirming her worst fear.

Williams said she last saw her son alive on May 31, when she was leaving for work that morning. Her son was still in bed, sleeping.

"I came home from work at exactly 5:05 that afternoon. He wasn't there when I got home, but that is the case sometimes so I didn't get too worried," Williams said.

She added that he did not come home that night, but she found comfort thinking that he must have been spending the night at his girlfriend's house in Vineyard Town, which he did occasionally.

The mother, however, became concerned after her son did not return to their Allman Town home on Sunday.

"When he didn't come home on Sunday or Sunday night I started to get concerned, so the first thing I did was call his girlfriend on Monday morning to find out if he was there, but she said she had not seen him either," Williams said.

Williams said she made countless other calls to family members and friends, trying to find out where her son could have been, before reporting the matter to the Cross Roads police on Thursday, June 5.

The distraught mother was hit with some heart-wrenching news the following Friday, however, destroying the hopes she had that her some was still alive. Her daughter called her, telling her that Atterbury's body was found in Vineyard Town with three gunshot wounds.

Williams said she was now appealing to the public to come forward with any information that may assist the police in solving the murder of her son, whom she remembers as a jovial and loving teen. She said there have been arguments that her son was taken away by men in a grey Toyota Corolla motor car before being killed. But, she does not know if they are true.

Persons with information are being asked to contact the nearest police station, or the Elletson Road police who are investigating.
