New Englander here... and worried about this lovely lady.

IMO, they don't have her sited on CCTV so we don't know if she left her car etc there or someone else. IMO

This is local to me - very concerning due to our recent snowfall here in NH. Ashley, where are you?

 

[Steelslady]

Same here. Giving me goosebumps.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Just trying to think through why she would park there. Maybe there are clues in her backpack or on her phone. I wonder if her family can think of a reason she'd go there.

Just speculating: Perhaps she was meeting someone. The townhall parking lot would be a good place to agree to meet. She may have entered their vehicle. But if so, why leave her backpack and phone behind?

Are formal searches of the town hall area taking place?
I hope she is located safe very soon.

<modsnip: no source link> We heard helicopters going by our house very low and had no idea that anyone was missing. <modsnip>

Same here, near Alton. I'm very worried because of the storm that we had. Where could she be?

 

[Steelslady]

Howdy neighbor! <modsnip> We were trying to figure out if the town hall was open that morning. If anyone saw her in her car, or getting out of her car.

Missing person poster indicates AT has scars on both arms. What is her mental health history? Could be a factor in her disappearance under suspicious circumstances. Also, was the phone left inside her vehicle her regular phone or a burner? So sad -- not the time of year to vanish. Hope she surfaces soon.

I thought the same thing. If she had any previous history of cutting that's typically indicative of someone that has trouble dealing with emotional pain, sadness, anger and stress. I'm hoping that if she's troubled she simply needed to get away, as opposed to wandered off with it being winter, and just doesn't wish to talk to anyone. Praying for this young woman.

 

[Spider92]

Was it 3 days before she was reported missing?

 

[Seattle1]

I'm reading AT was last seen Jan 4 leaving her home w/backpack and her phone. Same reports say when her vehicle was later found, these items left inside the vehicle.

Are there cameras at the town hall, fire station, library, or church? Website says town hall is open Mon-Fri 8:30 to 4:30.
She lives off of 126, 2.6 miles from the town hall.

Who last saw her?

Presumably, somebody that lives at "home" with her, but her home has not been defined. Parents, roommate? IMO, this was not necessarily unusual for AT to leave but by Sunday, it was causing an alarm. JMO

<modsnip> I just hope people don't focus on the mental health issue, as she is missing and needs to be found. Our town is small, very countrified. Lots and lots of water- gushing river not too far from the town hall, I used to walk that area a lot when my kids were at (sports) practice. Lots of lakes and ponds. Beautiful and peaceful. There are trails around that area. The sister is trying to get something approved by LE to have the public search. We are all ready, willing and able. This town cares. Everyone loves and cares about Ashley. She's a beautiful and sweet soul, is artistically talented. If she's out there, we will find her. Please pray for her and her family.
