I'm so sorry for your loss Waffeln.Hello all. I'm a long time friend of Ashley's and I just wanted to thank you all for your comments and investigation.
I stumbled across this community early on in her disappearance just searching for answers. I found it incredibly comforting to know so many people wanted to get to the bottom of this case and help find Ashley safe and alive. After news of her passing, I was touched to see her justice had not been forgotten.
For anyone who is still interested, I have an update. Her autopsy results have finally been released and her death has officially been ruled a homicide.
Here is an article outlining the autopsy and containing a link to her full autopsy report.
Again, thank you all so much and I beg of you to continue to search for justice for Ashley and all of the other people whose cases are left unresolved.

What I am gathering from the autopsy report is that she was strangled, put in the trash bin, picked up by the truck and taken to the waste facility? all the "injuries" aside from strangulation are from the garbage truck mechanisms?
With the extent of the injuries I wonder if she was hit by a car and still alive and the person panicked. Or purposefully hit with a car. I've heard of people being knocked out of their shoes, which would explain the lack of shoes in the report.

It seems very unlikely to me that it would have been an accident. And I say this as someone who lost a roommate to a violent hit and run several years ago that is still unsolved. (Seems I've lost a lot of people )
Although it's a pretty common trope for an accident to lead to panic and trying to hide the body, a lot of times when a body is literally dumped it's because the person or persons who did the dumping are completely removed from the victim existing as a person at all. JMO
