Ashley is last seen on video at a party located somewhere on the reservation in Browning, Montana. The video, according to reports, shows Ashlee sitting on a couch drinking and talking with other people.

After receiving a tip regarding a potential sighting of Ashley, volunteers, along with members of Ashley's family search within the Babb, MT. Volunteers find a grey sweater, believed to belong to Ashley, in a dump nearby on the northern end of the reservation. The volunteers hand the sweater over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for testing. The family later found out that the sweater had not been sent to a crime lab for testing by the BIA, and it had just sat in a box in their evidence room.

Approximately 10 volunteers equipped with ATVs search an area around Babb and St. Mary, Montana for any sign of Ashley.

Around 5 months after Ashley's disappearance, the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council announces that they are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Ashley's location.

In this letter, he states that he could tell them "who did all this to Ashley. Trust me I am the only one who can." Paul continued in his letter to say that he would only speak to them if he was transferred to a different prison. This was not a possibility for ABC, so he declined an interview.

After a year without any movement in Ashley's disappearance, the FBI takes charge of her case.

Around the first anniversary of Ashley's disappearance, members of her family along with community members plan and host a prayer vigil to remember and spread awareness for Ashley, along with other missing or murdered indigenous people.

Ashley had reportedly visited the same trailer the summer that she disappeared. In this trailer, family members find a maroon stain under the shag carpet.

In April of 2019, the reward for information leading to Ashley's return and/or the individual(s) responsible for her disappearance increases to $15,000.

This annual walk, which was first planned by Ashley's family along with additional volunteers, begins at Blackfeet Community College, where Ashley was enrolled prior to her disappearance. The walk aims to raise awareness for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People crisis. The event ended with a tree-planting at Blackfeet Community College.
