On June 25, 2026, 20-year-old Ashlynn Bocksnick and her six-week-old daughter Laylynn Wilson were reported missing from Dardanelle, Arkansas, after officers responded about 2:50 a.m. to a report of a possibly suicidal person. Officers learned Ashlynn had left the residence with the infant and issued an alert with a vehicle description.

Around 4:40 a.m. investigators found Ashlynn’s vehicle abandoned at the Veteran’s Park boat ramp on the Arkansas River. Surveillance showed that vehicle arriving about 4:00 a.m. and captured a figure believed to be Ashlynn walking toward the water; the footage was not clear enough to say whether she was carrying Laylynn. A large search followed, involving local law enforcement, fire crews, boats, drones, and canine teams, covering at least 85 miles of river. Rising water, dangerous currents from the Dardanelle Dam openings, and debris have complicated the effort. No foul play is currently suspected and the search remains active.

If anyone has information about Ashlynn or Laylynn’s movements that morning, please come forward.
