VANISHED IN MONTANA: ASHLEY HEAVYRUNNER'S FAMILY DESPERATE PLEA

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Ashley Loring Heavy Runner was last seen in June 2017 on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana.  That night, a video taken and shared online of a party in which Ashley attended.  No one heard from Ashley for days afterward. The family was at first unconcerned, but when Ashley didn't visit her father in the hospital, worry set in.   A couple of weeks later information came in that a young woman had been spotted running from a vehicle on U.S. Highway 89 on the reservation. Was it Ashley? Family members searched the area finding a sweater and a pair of boots with red stains, thought to be Ashley's.  Investigators told the family however that Ashley was adult free to come and go as she pleased.   In February 2018, a nearly a year later,  the FBI joined the investigation. By then,   the case was cold.
