How to help:


  • Share Ashleigh’s story. Talk about her story, especially if you know someone who lives in Wisconsin and the Midwest. Encourage others to talk about her story.

  • Join the Justice for Ashleigh Love Facebook group

  • Watch Letters to Ashleigh

  • Listen to and follow the Love & Justice podcast.

  • Please come forward if you know anything. There is a $12,000 reward. The family wants anyone who knows something that you don't have to be afraid to come forward - this is a safe space. Anyone with information can contact Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360.

    • If you don’t want to call the police, you can send a tip — named or anonymously — to the podcast website, www.loveandjusticepodcast.com. Kyle said, “Obviously we will be passing along that information to the authorities if something viable comes in. But sometimes people find [the hotline] as an easier way to get to the authorities than going directly to them.”
