The Disappearnce of Ashley Elkins

30 year old Ashley Elkins was last seen in Warren, Michigan on January 2, 2025. She disappeared after leaving home to run some errands.

Background

Ashley is a mother of two who works as a hairstylist out of her home on Knox Road in Warren, Michigan.

According to loved ones she would always stay in close contact with family, and would not leave without warning.

Disappearance

At approximately 8:30 am on January 2, 2025, Ashley Elkins left her Warren home on Knox Avenue to run some errands. She was last seen driving a grey 2009 Chevy Malibu with a crack on the passenger side and no license plates.

Ashley never returned home, and hasn’t been heard from since. Her family reported her missing to the Warren Police Department on January 3, 2025.

Investigation

Ashley’s cell phone last pinged at her ex-boyfriend’s residence, located at an apartment complex in the 20900 block of Pinehurst Street in Roseville, Michigan. When police arrived at the apartment no one was present, and Ashley’s vehicle was gone.

Police have been canvassing businesses for video, trying to help determine a timeline and clues to her whereabouts.

According to Ashley’s family, the man she used to date, Deandre Booker, hasn’t been seen for days either.

According to her family, Booker made a call to Ashley a few days before her disappearance, pretending to be a client of hers and making an appointment at the hair salon she runs out of her home. When he showed up she told her sisters to be quiet; he knocked on the front door for awhile before leaving.

Ashley’s uncle, attorney Maurice Morton, is pleading with police to take the case seriously.

“Don’t treat this as just, you know, a possible young lady who walked away from her children — because she would not do that. She loves her family, she loves her children,” Morton said. “Treat this as a possible abduction or missing person, and I feel that they’re doing that.”
