ROSEVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Authorities searched a Michigan landfill
Monday for any evidence of a Detroit-area woman who has been
missing for more than a week.
Aerial photos and video posted online by news media showed
people in yellow suits at the landfill in Macomb County's Lenox
Township. Roseville police Chief Mitch Berlin acknowledged the
search during remarks to reporters.
“Trying to bring closure to the family,” Berlin said. “We had
40, 50 officers out here.”
Ashley Elkins, 30, was reported missing on Jan. 3. A former
boyfriend has been charged with lying to police during the
investigation.
Elkins lived in Warren, but her car was found in Roseville,
another Detroit-area community. Berlin said the search will
resume Tuesday.
The Pine Tree landfill is a vast landfill that accepts tons of
trash from across southeastern Michigan. Detroit police in 2022
spent a summer there searching for the remains of a 17-year-old
girl whose body was placed in a dumpster.
Police stopped the effort without finding Zion Foster's remains,
though a man was convicted of second-degree murder and is
serving decades in prison.
