This article doesn't mention Rachel but family and gives the date of June 5th.
The
last confirmed sighting of Ashley Loring HeavyRunner came on June 5, 2017.
A video taken that night, which was
shared online, showed her at a party on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning, Montana.
When Ashley’s family didn’t see or hear from her in the days after the party, they
thought the 20-year-old was visiting a friend. They also assumed she might have lost her phone, something she’d done before.
Yet after Ashley didn’t visit her father when he was in the hospital, her family started to
worry. Talking to Ashley’s friends
revealed Ashley had been out of touch since June 5.
The investigation has had other developments. A man named Sam McDonald has
stated he was with Ashley for days after the party on June 5, 2017. According to McDonald, on June 11, 2017, he drove Ashley to meet someone named “V-Dog,” whose real name was Paul Valenzuela. McDonald has said he fell asleep, and Ashley wasn’t there when he awoke. Ashley’s family has
said she was romantically involved with Valenzuela—who had prior burglary and weapons convictions—and spent time with McDonald prior to her disappearance.
In 2017, the investigation of a missing 20-year-old Indigenous woman from the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana stalled, which resulted in it remaining unsolved today.
