Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP60449) and 6 other sources
Ashleigh Marie Smith, 25, was last seen on March 4, 2019, in Sacramento, California. At the time, she was homeless and living in the Sacramento area. On March 2, 2019, Ashleigh had been arrested, but two days later, she was released from Sacramento County Jail, which was the last time anyone saw her. Before this, Ashleigh had been in sporadic contact with her family, with the last communication occurring in April 2018 when she called her family in Ohio. Since her release from jail, she has not been heard from, and her whereabouts remain unknown.

Ashleigh had distinguishing features, including brown hair, blue eyes, and several tattoos. Notably, she had a tattoo of a crescent moon with the phrase "I love you to the moon and back" on her right arm and floral designs on her thigh. In the years following her disappearance, there have been troubling signs, including her photos surfacing on adult websites. In 2022, a message believed to be from her was found in Reno, Nevada, on a bathroom wall, suggesting she may be in danger, though this lead has not been confirmed by authorities.

Her case remains unsolved, and both her family and various organizations continue to seek information that might help bring Ashleigh home. Foul play is suspected, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
