Any small tip could help solve the case. 

According to a statement released by Newark Police in 2017, they seek the public for assistance in locating Ms. Venika Williams, 28, who they say went missing on December 22, 2017, when Newark Police officials believe Venika was last observed heading to Jersey City.

As of July 22, 2020, crime stoppers are offering a reward for information leading to Venika's whereabouts after being missing for over three years.
