Hey everyone and welcome back to Big Mad True Crime where we get Big Mad over True Crime.

I'm your host Heather Ashley and today you'll be hearing Missing Volume One,

something we're going to be doing every Thursday from here on out. As always, small talk sucks,

so let's dive in.

20 Road Ashley Lauren Heavy Runner was last seen on June 5th, 2017. She was caught on camera at

a party that night on the Blackfeet reservation in Browning, Montana. And the days following the

party Ashley didn't come home. According to A&E, her family thought she might have been visiting

some friends. They hadn't been able to get in contact with her but talked it up to her

possibly losing her phone, which is something she had done before. Nothing stood out to them as

particularly odd until A&E reports that her father wound up in the hospital. When Ashley didn't

come to visit, they knew that something was wrong and contacted Blackfeet law enforcement and

the BIA or Bureau of Indian Affairs to try and report her missing. According to NBC, after Ashley

was reported missing, Blackfeet law enforcement did a three day search for her, but from everything

I could find, the search came up empty two weeks past with still no sign of Ashley until they got a

tip. It stated that they'd seen a young woman running from a vehicle on US Highway 89 on the

reservation the night that Ashley had disappeared. Her family band together to do their own search

and they found something. A torn sweater and a red stained pair of boots. Ashley's family is

certain the sweater belonged to her and according to NBC, a witness confirmed that that's what she

was wearing the night she disappeared. Following the search, the evidence was handed over to law

enforcement but her family told Dateline that they still haven't gotten any results back.

Ashley's entire family has stopped at nothing to try and solve her case. In fact, it has been more

than five years and they haven't slowed down for a second, despite what feels like hurdle
