Ohio Missing Adults- website here lead me to thinking that this sounds a bit like another story. First we have to go back, because media for it never reached the point that Julies story made with major news networks, to almost this time last year.
Ashley Lyn Howley, young- in fact the same age as Julie at the time (20)- called police on June 16th of 2004 to report being assulted. Later on she was known t be packing her bags and heading to a friends house. Ashley never arrived at her planned designation. Doing a search for her name you'll find only traces of evidence that this disappearance happened.
Much like Julie, Ashley was young, attractive, and she was 5'4 115 lbs light brown hair with blond highlights, brown eyes. She was last know to be at her residence... nine miles (almost a straight shot down I 71) from Ledo's where Julie vanished from.
Ashely didn't have what we all imagine is the clean cut life that Julie had. Both of them seem though that they would be outgoing. Ashley was a adult entertainer. She had worked for a short while at a Columbus bar. Maybe that explains the lack of coverage in the case. I should say that I have know more than one dancer in my life- most of whom where great respectable intelligent women. Most of whom I would have been proud to call a friend. I would take offense if by chance her occupation was the reason behind why her vanishing was so quickly over looked by so many.
Could Columbus have a serial "kidnapper"? Could it just be that two women, unknown to each other vanish with no trace unrelated? I can't say that I know. Or that any of us do. Except those responsible for their disappearances.
At one point someone reached out to inform police that Ashley had been killed- to date I can fond no information on anyone ever finding her. What I did find was a message posted on a message board from what must be a mother horrified at the notion that her beautiful daughter has not come home.
"...PLEASE HELP ME FIND ASHLEY. IT'S ALMOST A YEAR (JUNE 16) I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE POLICE OR ANYTHING I JUST WANT TO BURY MY DAUGHTER.. PLEASE I CAN'T TAKE IT MUCH MORE ..."
