RCMP are asking for the public’s help finding a missing 27-year-old woman with connections to Salmon Arm.

Ashley Marie Simpson was reported missing on Saturday but was last seen on Wednesday, according to Vernon RCMP.

She is described as a Caucasian woman with brown eyes and brown hair, about 5’5” tall, weighing 119 pounds.

Simpson also has tattoos on both forearms. On the left arm is the word ‘Gypsy’ and a flower, while her right arm has a dragonfly with strawberries.

Concerned family members report she may have been hitchhiking on either Yankee Flats Road or Salmon River Road.

“Police are very concerned for Ashley’s health and well-being, and friends and family report that it is out of character for her to be out of contact for this long,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy in a news release.

“Inquiries have been made at all locations where Ashley has been known to frequent and to date she has not been located.”

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact their nearest RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
