A 30-year-old hairstylist was reported missing by her family members on Friday, January 3. Ashley Elkins, who works out of her home, went missing after her ex-boyfriend made a fake hair appointment.
According to family members, the mom-of-two left her Warren home on Knox Avenue around 8:30 a.m. to run errands on Jan. 2. Her younger sister was the last person to see her.
Ashley’s mother, Monika Elkins, FaceTimed Ashley, but she didn’t answer or call back. Monika said Ashley used to date a man who hasn’t been seen in days either.
