“I do feel for the family and for the kids because now they are going to have to celebrate Mother’s Day without their mother,” a neighbor told WALB-TV, asking not to be identified.
Some people who live nearby told the TV station that they have been complaining to the county about the need for more animal control.
“People dump dogs all over the county and no one can get help with them because there’s no county animal control. Praying for this woman’s family. This is so sad,” a person told the TV station, not identifying themselves.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has now taken up the case at the request of the sheriff’s Office.
Williams’ body has been sent for an autopsy to determine her cause of death.
The GBI is still trying to determine who owns the dogs.
