- Details of Disappearance:
- On January 18, 2020, Ashley Roberts was last seen at a Flying J truck stop in Resaca, Georgia. She got into a fight with a worker after going into a restricted area (the kitchen). She ran away before the police arrived, leaving behind her backpack with money, phone charger, wallet, and ID.
Two days later, her car was found at the same truck stop with some of her belongings inside. Some of her clothes were found hidden nearby, but her phone was never recovered.
This is suspicious because she disappeared completely. It’s also strange that Caleb Smith, a 21-year-old man, disappeared from the *same* truck stop two days earlier. His body was later found dead. Police found no connection between Smith and Roberts.
Before she disappeared, Roberts had drug problems and was on probation, but her father said she was trying to improve her life. A warrant was issued for her arrest after she went missing because she stopped reporting to her probation officer.
The police think Roberts’ disappearance is suspicious, but they haven’t solved the case.
