Ashley Marie Eiffert was 19 and seven months pregnant when she disappeared after a January 9, 2003 trip into New Orleans to collect baby furniture. She had connected with a woman named Nicole Johnson during a prenatal visit; Johnson said Ashley went to her home in the 4500 block of Demontluzin Street, argued by phone with her boyfriend Joseph Joe Luis Hill, tried to leave in a 1992 Ford Mustang that would not start, then walked across the street to a Shell gas station and never returned.

Ashley’s parents found the Mustang still parked where she had left it nine days later. Reporters who checked the address Johnson gave found the 4500 block of Demontluzin Street does not exist, a major discrepancy that has cast doubt on Johnson’s account. The family has criticized the New Orleans Police Department’s early handling of the case, saying opportunities such as obtaining gas station security footage were missed. Both Johnson and Hill have been named as persons of interest; progress was further hindered by the passage of time and the disruption caused by Hurricane Katrina.

What details might someone who knew Ashley’s routines, the neighborhood, or the people involved be able to add to help move this case forward?
