Apr 26, 2019 | 10:54 AM

The mother of a woman who went missing in the Shuswap three years ago has issued a video plea for information.

Ashley Simpson was 32 when she was last seen on April 27th, 2016.

She had been living on Yankee Flats Road south of Salmon Arm.

In the newly-released video, Simpson’s mom, Cindy, says the family isn’t living, it is just surviving one day at a time.

She urges anyone with information to call the RCMP and allow her daughter to go home to her broken-hearted family.
