Human remains found in rural woods in Alabama have been identified as missing 5-year-old Taylor Williams, authorities said, who confirmed the remains through DNA analysis.
"This confirmation adds yet ... another layer" to the "investigation that has been underway since Taylor was reported missing," T.K. Waters, chief of investigations with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, said at a news conference on Monday.
The little girl's cause of death has not been released, pending the active investigation, Waters said.
