Mich. Phlebotomist Allegedly Killed, Dismembered Boyfriend in 2018. She Remains One of the FBI’s Most Wanted By Christine Pelisek

Federal authorities are still searching for a Michigan woman who is accused of fatally shooting her boyfriend in 2018 before dismembering his body and dumping his remains along a highway.

Tamera Renee Williams, 46, was added to the U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted Fugitives list in 2023.

She is accused of killing her 39-year-old boyfriend, David Carter, dismembering him then discarding his body parts along I-75 near Hancock, Ohio in September 2018. 

A felony arrest warrant was issued three months later on charges of first-degree homicide, disinterring a dead body and tampering with evidence. Authorities were unable to locate Williams, who remains on the run as of 2025.

A $25,000 reward has been offered for information leading to her arrest.

“Tamera Williams stands accused of a heinous, brutal crime,” U.S. Marshals Director Ronald L. Davis, said in 2023. “Her apprehension is our highest priority, and the family of David Carter deserves justice. I strongly encourage anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to do the right thing and contact us so we can get her into custody as quickly and as safely as possible.”  

Williams allegedly traveled to Brooklyn, New York after the killing, WXYZ reported.

“I just pray that whoever is helping her, turn her in,” Carter’s father Elton told the outlet in 2023.

Williams’ case was the focus of an episode on FOX’s “America’s Most Wanted,” Investigation Discovery’s “In Pursuit with John Walsh” and Netflix’s “Unsolved Mysteries” in 2022.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, Williams is a trained phlebotomist who might be working in a medical clinic. Authorities said Williams was involved with the Order of the Eastern Star, a Freemason organization. She is described as 5-foot-5 with a large tattoo of roses on her left shoulder. 

Carter’s sister, Tasia Carter-Jackson, told WXYZ that her brother “was very kind,” adding that “he was an amazing dad, a business worker, hard worker.”
