- Details of Disappearance:
- In May 2006, Ashley Peebles moved from Fort Worth, Texas to Albuquerque, New Mexico for a fresh start. She was hoping to leave behind her struggles with drug and alcohol abuse, which had started after she experienced childhood trauma.
On May 22nd, 2006, Ashley went on a date and vanished. She never returned to the home of friends where she was staying. Her car was found abandoned.
Ashley had a difficult past. She’d been molested as a young child and raped at 14. While she initially excelled in school and extracurricular activities, drug and alcohol abuse led her to drop out. She completed a drug rehab program, worked as a cosmetologist, but relapsed. She had a few run-ins with the law due to drug offenses.
After her disappearance, there were reports of sightings in Albuquerque. Witnesses claimed she was going by the name “Mia” and working as a prostitute. Police investigated a possible connection to a pimp named “AJ,” but he denied knowing her. Ashley’s father searched extensively for her but she was never found. The last possible sighting was in the fall of 2006. Her father passed away in 2014, and Ashley is listed as a survivor in his obituary.
Her disappearance remains a mystery.
