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.

Click here to get specific information.

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

Peace, out.

    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.

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
