Ashley Martinez was last seen at Krug Pool with her younger brother in St. Joseph, Missouri on July 6, 2004.  Investigators learned that Ashley had mentioned to friends that she was going to run away. She had also been seeing a man, named Christopher Hart. Hart, a 32-year-old convicted felon, lived near Ashley's home and had been promising her he would take her to California one day.  She may have traveled out of the state with Hart in a gray 1995 Pontiac Bonneville with Missouri license plates 377MPY.  

On September 7, 2004, Olympia, Washington police arrested Christopher Hart for purse snatching. They discovered a warrant was out on him and he was also wanted for parole violations. But young Ashley was not found with him. Hart proved to be uncooperative with the Olympia and St. Joseph law enforcement authorities on Ashley's whereabouts.  

She was last seen wearing blue-jean shorts, a black top with red cherries, and white Reebok tennis shoes.
