Amy’s family and friends remain dedicated to the search for her.
“Amy is on our minds every day,” her sister said.
Her many friends in the Denver area still have missing posters featuring Amy’s picture and information in coffee shops, in order to keep her face in people’s minds.
The family recently traveled to Denver for prayer service at the church Amy attended. They met with detectives who have been working on the case and were given the chance to say what they needed to say and ask questions.
“There are still no leads in Amy’s case. But I think it was reassuring to talk with the detectives in person, rather than on the phone,” Ahonen said.
The family was in Denver for Amy’s 39th birthday.
“We took my parents to a lot of places that Amy would have loved to visit with them,” she said.
When the Ahonens were in Colorado, the local news aired stories updating Amy’s case and putting her face back in the public eye to remind people that she is still missing.
Friends and family are working on fundraisers in Michigan, Florida and Colorado to raise money to hire a private investigator to search for Amy.
“We’re hoping that a private investigator could take a different angle and look into things that the police couldn’t,” Ahonen said.
A bowling fundraiser to raise money for a private investigator was held Aug. 4 at Skore Lanes in Taylor.
There also is a Facebook page, Find Amy Ahonen, dedicated to sharing happy memories of Amy and raising awareness about her case. More information about Amy’s case, and the fundraisers can be found at
