Ashley Simpson: Fundraisers and Tip Lines



There is still no news regarding the whereabouts of my cousin, Ashley Simpson, who disappeared from her home in Salmon Arm, B.C., without a trace at the end of April.

As I stated in my previous blog, the RCMP is now considering this a homicide investigation. Their 14-person major crimes team is focusing on searching a 25 acre parcel of land that is adjacent to where she lived with her boyfriend. They have also conducted DNA testing on all persons of interest.

Still nothing.

Her father, John, posted this heartbreaking message on Facebook yesterday.

Another day goes by and there are no calls about our darling daughter, Ashley.  I guess that's the way it's going to go. It seems to be getting easier to go out and meet people. I might try some golf tomorrow -- at least a bucket of balls. Been holed up here in the house since I came back wishing and wondering if, and when, Ashley will return or when we will  hear some sort of word about her whereabouts. Getting a few visitors of late and that's sort of nice. A little at a time for all you
Ashley watchers out there. Sorry not much today, Hopefully more tomorrow. Stay safe, hug ur kids and spouses, say a prayer for our girl to stay safe and strong till we can find her. Peace and love all
.
Meanwhile, the family and friends of Ashley are not giving up. They have launched a website, which includes a tip line. Ashley's supporters have also offered a cash reward for any information that could lead investigators to her, or to whomever might have done her harm.

On July 30th, there will be a fundraiser for the family. Here is a message from Amanda Haveman about the fundraiser which will be held near St. Catharines.

Hello Everyone. Thanks for the awesome support you have shown Ashley's family in this time of need and difficulty.
As we all know, some of Ashley's family traveled to Salmon Arms B.C. from many different areas to look for our Gypsy Girl. They all took time off work, they all left behind their husbands, wives, kids, and friends to join the search for Ashley.
So with that being said, we would like to do a fundraiser to raise money to help recoup lost finances, to help the family with future expenses that might come up. Also with everyone being so supportive to the Simpson family they have asked that  part of the proceeds from the event go to a missing person foundation which will be an honour as we all know how important those foundation are.

If you don't live near the St. Catharines area, you can always donate to her GoFundMe page. Anything will help.

Peace, out.

  1. Oh dear... the Highway of Tears again? My prayers are with her and her family for closure. A homicide investigation suggests something has been found that moves it from missing to murdered.

Ashley Simpson: Conversation with Derek Favell Revealed

  On April 2, 2017, a family friend of Ashley Simpson opened her Facebook Messenger and got the surprise of her life.  Cathy MacLeod had been trying to correspond with Ashley's boyfriend, Derek Favell, who was the last person to see the St. Catharines native before she disappeared from her home in Salmon Arm, B.C. a year before. She wanted to know more about what happened to Ashley, and why Favell had refused to take a polygraph test when many others close to the missing woman agreed to do so. "I wanted to poke the bear," she said, and sent several messages to Favell pleading with him to talk to her.  " Please help us," she wrote. "It's been 10 months of pure hell. A lie detector would help if you have nothing to hide. I beg of you, help us, take the test to clear your name if there’s nothing to hide." Many, including members of the Simpson family, found Derek's behaviour, at least, curious. Ashley had disappeared on April 27, 2016. Yet it took

Ashley Simpson: A Father Remembers

I have asked Ashley Simpson's family and friends to give us a glimpse into the life she lived before going missing nearly a month ago. Here is how her father John remembers his sweet girl. Ashley was a treat when she came into this world, a smashing 9lbs 8 ounces with a  head full of hair and nails that needed to be clipped. She has made many friends in her journey of life and continues to make them as we speak. She has made this world a better place by her love of mankind and this place we call Earth; unfortunately this life she has lived hasn't been the best for her. She has suffered through unbearable pain and suffering through her menstrual cycles. She has cysts on her ovaries that make those 10 days a living hell. She had one of her ovaries removed when she was just 14; the other they won't take out till she is 40 or older. Years of hell for my Ashley. I so feel her pain every month but she doesn't quit, doesn't give in.   That's my

Jack Van Dusen: 90 Years Old and Not a Drop Wasted

A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others."  -- L. Frank Baum It's not easy standing out in a family like the Van Dusens. They are like tribbles; they are everywhere. In politics. In the media. In the fine arts. Even on stage at local fairs raising money for good causes. But Jack Van Dusen is no ordinary Van Dusen. He's a trailblazer. He was the voice of Ottawa anchoring the local news in the early days, with the sidekicks you see in the photo above. He was on Parliament Hill rubbing shoulders with the likes of John George Diefenbaker and making mischief with the relatively small cabal of ink stain wretches who were the first generation to talk to Canadians over the air waves. After a successful time in the media, Jack had a second career as a public relations guy. That's when I met him sitting at the lunch table at the National Press Club with his brother Tom, the columnist Charles Lynch, Sergeant-at-Arms Gus Clou
