Ex-Partner Arrested in Missing D.C. Mother Case | Portland Maine News

A missing D.C. mother, Antoinette Forbes, has vanished for over a week—her car, wallet, and phone left behind, her dog still inside her home. Her family says it’s out of character and fears the worst. Now, her ex-partner, Russell Ashford—a man with a 2021 assault conviction against her and custody battles over their son—is arrested in Pennsylvania on a probation violation warrant, facing extradition back to Maryland. Authorities have escalated the case to homicide, urging anyone with footage from her neighborhood between Sept. 4–6 to come forward. Ashford isn’t yet charged in her disappearance, but his arrest has intensified the search—and the public is being asked to help find answers before it’s too late.
