Case Information:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Demetria Daughtry Watson<\/strong> was 42 years old when she vanished without a trace from Richmond Hill, Georgia<\/a>, on the morning of November 28, 2022. Known as the heart of her family, Demetria was last seen at her residence before her husband departed to vote and head to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The morning appeared routine until family members began receiving unexpected “I love you” text messages from her phone. Sensing something was wrong, her husband rushed home by 9:35 a.m., only to find Demetria and her vehicle were already gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case Details:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Demetria was driving a gray 2019 four-door Toyota Corolla with Georgia license plate PXK6468 (some records note PXK6484). Despite her stable home life, she left behind her personal belongings, suggesting her departure was not a planned relocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigative data later indicated her vehicle may have been seen in the Pooler Parkway<\/a> area before reportedly returning toward Richmond Hill<\/a>. These conflicting sightings have complicated the efforts to establish a definitive direction of travel for the missing mother.<\/p>\n\n\n

Timeline of Events:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At 6:45 a.m. on the day she disappeared, Demetria\u2019s children left for school while she remained asleep in bed. By 9:30 a.m., she was reportedly seen leaving the residence, shortly after the string of “I love you” texts reached her husband and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her husband arrived home just five minutes later, the house was empty and the car was missing. A formal missing persons report was quickly filed with the Richmond Hill Police Department<\/a>, sparking a search that has now spanned several year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Richmond Hill Police Department<\/a> has conducted extensive searches of local wooded areas and waterways. Under the direction of Captain Brad Sykes, authorities have utilized search warrants and phone records to trace her final digital footprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of early 2026, specialized dive teams have scoured the Savannah River<\/a> and St. Mary\u2019s River. While these teams located numerous submerged vehicles, none were identified as Demetria\u2019s Toyota Corolla, leaving the investigation at a standstill.<\/p>\n\n\n

Community Response:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Richmond Hill<\/a> community has remained deeply involved, frequently sharing case updates on social media to keep Demetria\u2019s story in the public eye. Local organizations and neighbors have held vigils to support the Watson family during their grueling search for answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advocacy groups have helped elevate the case to a national level, ensuring the search remains active in the public consciousness. This continued awareness is vital in hopes that someone in the Bryan County<\/a> area might remember a small detail from that November morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Statements:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Harvey Watson Jr<\/strong>. has spoken emotionally about the difficulty of maintaining a sense of normalcy for his children while grieving his wife’s absence. He maintains that the sudden nature of the texts was the first sign that their lives were about to change forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her son, Marquis, echoed this sentiment, stating that he immediately knew something was “off” when the messages arrived. The family continues to plead for anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact Georgia<\/a> law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n
