There's a little bit of justice seeing her in orange.

This ghastly woman won't do well in prison....baby killer

Justice is coming! I'm sure she's having Tik Tok withdrawals...

I missed a few earlier pages- so the timing might be wrong - but I wonder if Ashley was indeed the second person her finance saw in the truck ? (And not ambers husband with her to dispose of the phone)

 

[bestill]

Where is the husbands mug?

Hmm! The McDonald County Collector property site has a different house address (1848 instead of 1783) for them:

The 1783 address shows H****** as the owners last name? Now wondering who that is, and why Ashley would have been found there?

Hmmm....I was just quoting an MSM article. Perhaps it was a typo at their end or they just got bad info? We'll have to dig into it further. Perhaps some relatives own one or the other house?

I would think so because her husband was watching for her return and mentioned that both, Ashley and "Lucy" drove past.

How did she subdue Ashley during that ride? So many questions.

She had already built trust. I think.

​

Thank you.
I had wondered whether they had any previous charges or run-ins with the law.

The baby's name was Valkyrie Grace Willis.

Arkansas pregnant woman and her baby found dead; married couple in custody

A pregnant Arkansas woman and the 31-week-old baby she was carrying were found dead in southern Missouri. A married couple is in custody.

www.4029tv.com

OMG... the tears are streaming down my face.

I have been thinking about Ashley all day and as soon as I got home from work, I jumped on here in her thread and started to catch up and then a friend sent me a message so I jumped to last page and am going backwards.

I was so hoping Ashley and baby Valkyrie were still alive

I felt it was a kidnapping for her baby, but thought since there was quite a bit of time left, they would keep her somewhere and I had hopes of her being found soon.

I just can't believe our crazy world of people causing senseless harm and death on other people and WTH makes them think they can get away with this ?

I am heartbroken over this news tonight.

Fly high Ashley & Baby Valkyrie and look over your family -- they sure will be missing you <3

OMG ! I was so hoping she’d be found alive. This makes me so angry and sick all at once. :cry:

Hmmm....I was just quoting an MSM article. Perhaps it was a typo at their end or they just got bad info? We'll have to dig into it further. Perhaps some relatives own one or the other house?

I heard a news reporter on KTLA say that the 'body was found on a neighbour's property.'

 

[neesaki]

Back to the fiance saying he wonders if "Lucy" offered Ashley money for the baby and Ashley said no, I wonder if they'd been approached by anyone for money for the baby? Maybe using a different online profile? Seeing how much they were begging for money, maybe Amber tried to offer money for the baby with a different profile and then when she was kidnapped he thought back to that?

Good reason not to post details about your private life online.
Makes me sick. That poor woman. Let’s learn something from this, ok?

 

[FruitTingles]

She had already built trust. I think.

Yes I think that’s what the first meeting on Friday was for. To groom Ashley and build up trust. IMO

Yes. She had given a lot of pertinent details online in the groups looking for baby items. AW was able to use that to make her feel comfortable. What a sick monster!

 

[caribou_birdie]

Where is the husbands mug?

Here is Jamie Waterman. That is from Amber Watermans Tiktok account. She tagged him in the photo.

So it looks like these 2 properties were across the road from each other.

This gave me the shivers

 

[squareandrabbet]

oh dear god. i never cry about cases & this one has me in tears. i’ll always remember her fiancé saying they didn’t have much, all they had was their family.

Agreed, I hate this case.

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

Poor precious baby Valkyrie fighting for her life; and she meant comparatively nothing to this monster who took away her family.

 

[Snoopster]

So it seems that:
LE first flagged this couple when EMS were called to attend to a newborn in distress on the way to the hospital. LE were on the watch for 'suspicious births' because Ashley was missing.
LE then went to the Laughlin Ridge Rd property and searched the area...finding Ashley's body the next day.

LE said in the presser that they found the baby yesterday (Wednesday Nov 2) and Ashley today (Thursday Nov 3).

This is all my assumption based on the timeline. I do not know if LE had a lead on the couple before they found the little precious newborn.
When did LE first announce that they were focused on southern Missouri?
