It might help if they reported her age... Grey hair, so maybe she is on the elderly side?
 
Should her name be Willie Jo? The article says about the missing woman, "he was driving", so is this person perhaps a man, and not a woman? He or she was last seen March 26th, but there is not much other information offered.
 
There's also an article that states..

It would be nice to know whether the missing person is a male or female, but I decided to list her as a female.

It sounds like the woman came to a very sad ending. It doesn't say what brought about the stalking and false statement charges. And we don't know yet if this was a homicide.
 
The daughter, Eugenia Schell, faces charges of making false statements to investigators in connection to her mother's disappearance and will be in court on Friday, April 17.

Schell and her boyfriend lied about their whereabouts and denied being near Vaughn's house when witnesses placed them there.

Vaughn's death remains under investigation.

From last week:

Jury convicts woman on seven charges linked to river killing

http://jacksonville.com/news/2016-09-29/jury-convicts-woman-seven-charges-linked-river-killing

The jury convicted Eugenia Lynn Schell of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated stalking, making a false statement, false imprisonment, kidnapping and making terrorist threats, said Jackie Johnson, district attorney of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit.

The jury heard evidence Tuesday and Wednesday, and had deliberated three hours before returning a verdict of guilty on all counts about 8 p.m., Johnson said.

She faces possible sentences of life or life without the possibility of a parole on the murder convictions and five to 10 years on the other charges.

Superior Court Judge Stephen D. Kelley presided over the trial and will sentence her at a later date.

Christopher Pierce still faces charges of making false statements and being a felon in possession of firearms.

“We did not have enough evidence to charge him with murder,” Johnson said.
