As the search for missing Salmon Arm woman Ashley Simpson enters its third week, her family is frantic about her whereabouts.
“It’s not like Ashley to not call home or just go on Facebook to contact anybody in the family.” said Patty McGean, an aunt.
The 33-year-old woman was reported missing April 28.
On May 6, a search was done in the Silver Creek area.
Cpl. Kevin Kwast, of the Enderby RCMP, says two roadblocks were set up at two intersections and Simpson’s picture was shown to drivers.
Concerned family members report she may have been hitchhiking on either Yankee Flats or Salmon River roads.
Simpson was living in Salmon Arm, but was expected to move back to Ontario.
She was supposed to take a bus to Niagara-on the-Lake, but according to her family didn’t have the money.
Simpson has brown eyes and brown hair, an is about five-foot-five and 119 pounds.
On her left arm is the word ‘Gypsy’ and a flower tattoo, while her right arm has a dragonfly tattoo with strawberries. She also has an anchor tattoo on her chest and wears a nose ring.
“Not knowing if she’s hitchhiked out of the area she is in, if she got lost in the woods. We need to know which direction Ashley went and nobody knows,” said McGean.
