Katheryn Katie Ferguson, 34, vanished during a cross-country trip with her ex-boyfriend, Adam Aviles Jr., and their two young daughters after spending the summer with relatives in Alabama. The last confirmed sighting was on a rainy morning in October 2023 in Trumann, Arkansas, when a police officer’s body camera captured her in the passenger seat of a black Dodge Durango, folding baby clothes and telling the officer they were passing through on their way to Wyoming.

Days later Aviles was seen alone during a traffic stop in Texas; by November 2 Katie’s mother reported her missing to the Cody Police Department. On November 4 Aviles’ Durango was found abandoned in a remote area of Park County, Wyoming. Investigators noted the smell of putrefied blood inside, a removed front passenger seat, Clorox wipes scattered inside, a suspected bullet hole on the passenger door covered with duct tape, a fully loaded .45 caliber magazine, blood-stained items and evidence multiple shots had been fired. Aviles, a convicted felon barred from possessing ammunition, was arrested and later sentenced in federal court for being a felon in possession of ammunition; a judge said evidence was presented linking the ammunition to the voluntary manslaughter of Katheryn Ferguson. Her body has not been recovered and authorities presume she is deceased.

Who has information about the family’s movements between Arkansas and Wyoming in October 2023 that could help locate Katheryn’s remains?
