I found it odd that it was said it was "unusual for her to remain out of contact" but she wasn't reported missing for six weeks. Under both names, it looks like she has always lived (as an adult anyway) in Colorado. Unless she has a pending date on a docket, court records in that state are almost impossible to find, so I can't find any records of when the name change was (divorce?) or any other pertinent info.

From the article:

“At first, I thought, okay, you know, she’s been known to take off and come back,” Woolsey’s sister April Rossetti said.

Rossetti said Woolsey lives a very independent lifestyle, so it was unusual but not uncommon for her extended absence. Eventually, a friend reported Woolsey as missing.

It wasn’t necessarily her absence that worried Rossetti the most, though.

“I found out that her dog was left behind, and that’s when I knew something was wrong. She does not leave her dog. That dog is like her child,” she said.

“Through a lot of interviews, we’ve been able to determine that she never would have left her dog behind, that she was always with her dog, that she would literally cook her dog steak dinners before she ate, herself,” Detective Amanda Strider said.

Detective Strider said she has been investigating this from the start, and to her, Aja being left behind has been the biggest indication that something was very wrong.
