The Warren Police Department is actively seeking information regarding the disappearance of 30-year-old Metro Detroit woman, Ashley Elkins, who was last seen on January 2. According to details provided by CBS News Detroit, Elkins left her home that morning and was later spotted in Roseville during the afternoon of the same day. Her absence was reported after her family failed to establish any contact with her.
As reported by FOX 2 Detroit, Elkins is a hairstylist and mother of two who set off to run errands and never made it back home. After checking in with several businesses in the area and discovering her phone last pinged at a location in Roseville, where her ex-boyfriend resides, concern has continued to mount for her well-being. "We’re asking the media and, more importantly, we're asking the police to take this seriously," her uncle, Atty. Maurice Morton, told FOX 2 Detroit.
Detailed descriptions of Elkins paint the picture of a woman with distinctive tattoos, including a butterfly on her back and sunflowers with children's names on her left side shoulder. She stands at 5′3″ and weighs around 160 pounds, with long black hair and light freckles, as noted by ClickOnDetroit. Elkins was last seen driving a grey Chevy Malibu, model years 2009 or 2010, without license plates, wearing a long black coat with fur around the hood and black leggings.
In their effort to piece together Elkins' whereabouts, local law enforcement, combining efforts across agencies, continue to investigate. They encourage anyone with information to reach out, calling for community support. Elkins' mother, Monika, implored on FOX 2 Detroit, "I need everybody all over Detroit, all over wherever, like all over Michigan to come out and help me search for her." The Warren Police are coordinating with Roseville police, and anyone with insights or potential leads is urged to contact detective Darryl Bagiano at 586-574-4784 or email at [email protected], or those wishing to remain anonymous may contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak Up.
