Ashley Elkins, 30, vanished after leaving her home on January 2nd. Authorities arrested her ex-boyfriend, DeAndre Howard Booker, for allegedly lying to police. Booker is currently being held without bond.
Ashley Elkins, 30, a hairstylist and mother of two, was last seen leaving her Warren, Mich., home on Jan. 2. Authorities in Michigan arrested a man nearly a week after his ex-girlfriend disappeared, although the woman remains missing. Elkins' ex-boyfriend DeAndre Howard Booker from nearby Roseville was arrested on Wednesday, Jan. 8, on a charge of lying to a peace officer in connection with the case.
Booker, 32, was arrested following a search of his home, and Lieutenant John Gajewski with the Warren Police Department confirms to PEOPLE that recent developments in the investigation indicate a “crime of violence took place in Roseville.” Booker has not been charged with a crime related to harming Elkins. The investigation began after Elkins' family reported her missing on Friday, Jan. 3. Police found information indicating that Elkins was at Booker's residence in Roseville, per the statement. When Roseville police responded to the location, they were unable to find either of the two. Further investigation, including review of digital evidence, led police to believe 'there was a strong possibility of foul play involved in this incident,' which likely took place at Booker's residence, Gajewski claimed in the police statement. During a search of Booker's residence, Roseville police collected several items including a trash dumpster. They also located Elkins' vehicle near his home, per police. Booker’s arrest comes amid pressure from Elkins’ friends and family members, who suspect his involvement in the case. Elkins’ mother Monika alleges that before her daughter disappeared, Booker allegedly came to Elkins' home after scheduling a hair appointment under a fake name, WXYZ and 'He knocked on the front door and the side door and he left,' Monika told WXYZ, 'And here, it's... days later and she's gone.' Gajewski declined to comment on Monika's allegation, citing the ongoing investigation.According to Maycomb County jail records, Booker is being held without bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday
