Francesca Williams and her family left Colorado to start a farm in rural Ecuador. Then bandits showed up.
An American family who moved to the countryside Ecuador in search of “their humble Shangri-La” suffered a terrible tragedy when armed robbers invaded their farm.
“I saw my grandpa on the floor with a strange man to the right, then I saw another man with my mom and she was scrambling after him, basically fighting him off,” one of Williams’ daughters, Rachel,Michael Williams said he was tied up while the attackers ransacked the home. When they left, he went outside and found his wife mortally wounded.
Francesca’s stepmother, Marianna Bacilla, who lives in Poway, California, called her “the light of our life” in a GoFundMe to raise money to bring her body back home to the U.S. and bury her with family. “We never would have imagined people were staking us out,” he said. “We are so far removed. It’s a three-kilometer drive to and from. And to hike and in and out, it’s incomprehensible.”
