[projekktor id=’23981′]

A Niagara family is pleading with the public for information about their daughter’s whereabouts. Twenty-seven year-old Ashley Simpson was reported missing on April 27th. She was working in British Columbia and was expected to move back to Ontario to start her summer job as well attend her sister’s bridal shower.

“It’s not like Ashley to not call home or just go on Facebook to contact anybody in the family.” said Patty McGean, Ashley’s Aunt.

Simpson was working in Salmon Arm which is about 500 kilometres away from Vancouver.

She was supposed to take a bus to Niagara-on the-Lake, but according to her family didn’t have the money.

Simpson hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Her family has been trying to get ahold of her but were concerned when she wasn’t answering their phone calls and her Facebook page went silent.

“She has always been a nomad like that, but to not go on Facebook 100 times a day, to not post what she is doing, who she is with, what song she is listening to, is extremely unusual.” said Ashley’s sister, Amy.

Her family says Ashley had an argument with her boyfriend at the time of her disappearance, and her boyfriend is being treated as a suspect.

Simpson is about five foot five and 119 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair.

A go-fund-me page has been set up to help pay for the family to travel to British Columbia to find Ashley.

Some of her friends and family drove across Canada handing out fliers.

“Not knowing if she’s hitchhiked out of the area she is in, if she got lost in the woods. We need to know which direction Ashley went and nobody knows.” said McGean.

The RCMP believe Simpson maybe hitching back to southern Ontario.

Her father put together a group of solar powered lights as a symbolic gesture to guide his daughter back home.
