Police search for missing mom
 
By CATHY WOODRUFF, Staff writer Saturday, May 15, 2010



RENSSELAER -- City police are investigating the disappearance of a 24-year-old mother last seen over a week ago in Albany.
   
Ashley Marie Carroll of Rensselaer, who has a 1-year-old daughter at home, was reported missing by her mother, said Sgt. Tony Nagengast.

The woman reportedly disappeared after "a falling out" with her boyfriend, Jermon McLean of Albany, on May 6, Nagengast said.

McLean told police that Carroll intended to travel to New York City to see a friend, but the friend has not seen her and there is no apparent record of her travel there, Nagengast said.

"We're trying to find out, now, if she actually made it to New York City," said the sergeant.

Carroll is 5-foot-5 and weighs about 140 pounds, according to her sister, Pilar Berghela. She has a tattoo on her upper arm of her daughter's name, "Arionnah," Berghela said.

Berghela said her sister planned to go to New York for the weekend and return on Mother's Day.

Carroll's family is very worried.

"Ashley is a very loving and devoted mother," Berghela said. "She would never up and disappear, especially on Mother's Day weekend."

Nagengast said Carroll was wearing a black T-shirt, white or light-colored pants and flip-flops when last seen on First Street in Albany. She has hazel eyes, long brown hair and olive skin.

Family doubts missing woman went to NYC

May 19, 2010 at 8:30 am by Mike Goodwin

Ashley Marie Carroll disappeared 12 days ago and relatives are starting a Facebook page hoping it will generate tips about her.

Family members are dubious about the assertion the woman went to New York City.

“We don’t think she ever made it back home” from Albany, a relative who asked to remain anonymous told Staff writer Carol DeMare. “The clothes she was wearing weren’t at her home, and her jewelry was all there, and she would have taken her jewelry with her to New York.”

More than 12 days have passed since a 24-year-old mother went missing, and police continued Tuesday to try to piece together her movements as her family hoped a new Facebook page might produce leads.

Ashley Marie Carroll, who was living with her 1-year-old daughter, Arionnah, in a Troy apartment, was reported missing by her mother in Rensselaer. Carroll had lived with her mother for a time before moving to Troy, a family member said.

Carroll was last seen in the area of First Street in Albany, where she had gone May 6 in an attempt to meet up with a boyfriend with whom she was feuding, said the family member, who asked to remain anonymous.

Over the weekend, Sgt. Tony Nagengast identified the Albany boyfriend as Jermon McLean. He apparently was questioned by Rensselaer police, who had nothing new to report on the case Tuesday. Albany police spokesman Detective James Miller said his department stands ready to assist Rensselaer police should they ask for help.

The relative said another family member created the Facebook page, which has information on her disappearance, her physical description and several photos of her and her daughter.

Carroll, who doesn’t have a car, got a ride to Albany on that Thursday and was dropped off on Quail Street, the relative said. She was last seen in a neighborhood her boyfriend frequents, the family member said.

Carroll intended to meet with McLean and then return to her apartment, pack a bag and go to New York City to spend a few days with a friend, her relative said. She told her family she would be back on May 9, Mother’s Day. She left her daughter with a friend who was to baby-sit for the weekend, the relative said. Police have said the friend in New York has not seen her, and there is no indication she ever traveled there.

“We don’t think she ever made it back home” from Albany, the relative said. “The clothes she was wearing weren’t at her home, and her jewelry was all there, and she would have taken her jewelry with her to New York.”

Police, family members look for missing Troy mom

Posted: May 20, 2010 4:07 AM EDT Updated: May 20, 2010 4:18 AM EDT

ALBANY, N.Y. -- A Troy mom has been missing since Mother's Day and her family is desperate for answers.

Ashley Carroll was last seen in Albany on May 6. She was supposed to be on her way to New York City, but her family thinks she never left Albany.

Relatives are now hoping the public can help them find Carroll.

Ashley Carroll's mother stood with her family around her pleading for the public's help Wednesday to find her daughter.

The 24-year-old was last seen in the area of First and Quail Streets in Albany.

The family passed out flyers with Ashley's picture on them and posted them all over.

Records show Carroll, who lives in Troy, hasn't used her phone at all, over the past 13 days.

A friend had dropped her off in Albany May 6. Carroll told that friend she was going to meet someone before heading to New York City for a weekend trip. No one knows who.

Carroll's friend Courtney Deaton was the last known person to speak with her.

"She had an argument with her boyfriend and wanted to go to New York for Mother's Day weekend and asked me to watch baby and that's the last we've heard from her," Deaton said.

Ashley's baby, now almost 2 years old, is the reason family and friends say Carroll would never leave indefinitely without contacting someone and checking on her child.

Carroll's uncle and the rest of the family don't think she made it to New York City because the jewelry she always takes with her on her frequent trips to the city is still in her apartment.

So are the dressier clothes her family says she would've worn.

Albany police search for missing Rensselaer woman

By CAROL DeMARE, Staff writer
Last updated: 2:39 p.m., Friday, May 28, 2010

ALBANY -- City police, now fully involved with Rensselaer cops in the search for a missing young mother, searched a part of Whitehall Road today for evidence, apparently coming up empty.

Three weeks have passed since Ashley Marie Carroll, 24, disappeared after telling friends she was meeting up with a boyfriend in the area of First Street in Albany.
Detective James Miller, Albany police spokesman, said the search began around 7:30 a.m. in the vicinity of Whitehall Road near Marlboro Court, not far from Harriet Myers Middle School.

"They were searching for evidence," Miller said. He would not comment on whether police are looking for the body of the single mom. Relatives have said Carroll has never just taken off and was a good mother. She has been missing since May 6.

"They were there for a couple of hours, and I don't believe they found anything," Miller said.

Carroll lives in Troy with her 1-year-old daughter, Arionnah. She was reported missing by her mother in Rensselaer, where Carroll previously lived. The child is being cared for by relatives.

Albany detectives have talked to scores of people, including a female friend of Carroll's, who dropped her off at Quail and First streets in the West Hill neighborhood, police have said. Carroll did not have a car.

Rensselaer Sgt. Tony Nagengast has identified the Albany boyfriend as Jermon McLean. He has been questioned by Rensselaer and Albany police.

Family members have said Carroll was arguing with McLean through text messaging. A relative also has said Carroll intended to go to New York City to visit a friend after her meeting with McLean. There is no indication she ever made that trip, and the friend in New York told Albany police he hadn't heard from her and had no idea she intended to visit.

Last week, the woman's family made up a Facebook page with various photos of Carroll, hoping it would produce leads. She has hazel eyes, long brown hair and olive skin, is 5 feet 5 and weighs about 140 pounds. A $5,000 reward is being offered in the case. Albany detectives are at 518-462-8039; Rensselaer police at 518-462-7451.

Friends search for Ashley Carroll

Posted at: 07/25/2010 1:42 PM
By: Dan Bazile

ALBANY - Friends and family members were out today searching for anything that would lead to the safe return of Ashley Carroll. The 24-year-old Troy woman went missing nearly three months ago.

The missing woman's boyfriend, Jamal Ahmed, held the couple's daughter Arionnah in front of their Rensselaer home on Sunday. The little girl turned two last weekend - a birthday family members say Ashley would have never missed - causing them to worry even more about her disappearance.

"The hope is starting to diminish," said her mother Margaret Carroll.

Ashley, a single mother, went missing May 6th. She apparently had a fight with Ahmed that same day and was last seen at the corner of First and Quail Streets in Albany.

"There is no reason for her to disappear," Ahmed said. "There's no reason."

Ahmed, Margaret Carroll and other family and friends, along with the police have been searching since Ashley vanished. The search continued Sunday afternoon at Tivoli Park near Livingston Avenue in Albany.

"That's basically where she used to hang out around the area Livingston avenue," Margaret said. "I figure we should look there. I feel like I'm helpless. I don't know what to do. I just had to do something... look somewhere."

More than 100 people were expected to take part in the search. They were just looking around to see what they could come up with.

They still hope for the best - or at least closure if anything did happened to Ashley.

"To me it just seems like a bad dream," Margaret said. "You'd never think it would be one of your own. You see it on TV. But you never think one of your own."

Ashley Carroll, 24 Sunday marked 80 days since a local mother vanished without a trace but, family and friends are not losing hope that she is still alive. A search was held near the Tivoli Lake in Albany for Ashley Carroll, who has been missing since May 6.
“I wish someone would call. I wish someone would talk, someone would say something. If you know anything please, please. She has a little baby who misses her terrible. I miss her to death,” Margaret Carroll, Ashley’s mother, said.
“We want her back. We hope she is still alive,” Jamal Ahmed, Ashley’s husband, said.
The 24-year-old mother has been missing for more than two months.

On Sunday, family, friends, and even total strangers gathered at the Livingston middle school and searched through the woods for hours hoping to find some answers.
“I’ve never met her. I know I it was one of my children I would want people to come out and help,” Nancy Bombard, Colonie, said.
“We’re hoping to get some kind of close, to find something,” Patricia DiNovo, Ashley’s aunt, said.
Albany and Rensselaer Police were helping with the search on Sunday. Police continue to investigate and are following new leads.
People were digging, hiking, and doing whatever it takes to help out the Carroll family, who have been through an emotional rollercoaster the past 80 days.
“Horrible, stressful, like I’m dying inside,” Margaret Carroll said.
Ashley is 5-foot-5" and 160 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black shirt, white pajama pants with pink flowers, and white flip flops. She has tattoos on her hand, neck, back, wrist, foot, and arm.

Ashley’s family said they are not giving up.
“It’s just a process of elimination. If we don’t find her here then we will find another spot until Ashley either comes up or we find her,” Dinovo said. “All we want to do is bring Ash home. Find Ash,” Margaret Carroll said.
Family said they are going to continue to have searches for Ashley Carroll.
They are offering a $3,000 award for anyone who knows anything at all.
If you know something you are encouraged to contact Rensselaer Police.
When FOX23 News first reported the story in May we were told by Ashley Carroll’s friend that Ashley was last seen when she was dropped off in the area of First and Quail and was going to New York City.
Ashley’s mom Margaret said she has reason to believe that Ashley never had any intentions of going away.
On Sunday night Ashley’s family and friends protested in front of this friend’s house because they think she may know something
That friend was not at the search on Sunday and refused to talk to us when we contacted her.
Police continue to investigate this case.

VIDEO Family seeks closure with search for missing woman

Published: Monday, July 26, 2010 By Katie Nowak The Record

ALBANY — “Gone But Not Forgotten.”

That was the message printed on t-shirts worn by members of a search party Sunday, organized by the family of a Troy woman who’s been missing since May.

Dozens of people gathered in Tivoli Park to help Ashley Marie Carroll’s family and friends search for clues to her disappearance, determined to both find answers and to make sure that Carroll would indeed never be forgotten.

Carroll, 24, was supposed to have left for a weekend trip to visit friends in New York City on May 6, but instead was last seen in Arbor Hill, near First and Quail streets. She was in the area to meet up with her boyfriend, James McLean of Albany, with whom relatives say she had been fighting.

She never made it to New York.

In her absence, relatives and friends are left with more questions than answers, along with sadness and confusion.

Carroll has a 2-year-old daughter, and close family friend Francecsa Hempstead said Carroll would never abandon her baby.

“She’s a good mom,” Hempstead said. “I could never imagine her leaving Arionnah like that. Ashley was always there for her family in any time of need, and she always made sure the baby had what she needed.”

Hempstead’s mother, Kyla LaMountain, who said she’s known Carroll “since she was in the womb,” also spoke about Carroll’s dependability and kindness.

LaMountain lost her young daughter to illness when Carroll was a teenager, and Carroll stayed by her side throughout the whole ordeal.

“She never left me, and she was there with me and my daughter up until she passed away,” LaMountain said. “She would never just have up and left for no reason. That’s obviously why we’re here looking. We think something terribly went wrong.”

Caroll’s mother, Margaret Carroll, said she organized the search in order to turn up clues and leads, and find out anything about her daughter’s whereabouts. The investigation has been short on answers, she said, and getting the word out about her daughter’s disappearance may help the family finally learn what happened to Ashley.

Those joining the search party Sunday signed a registry and were split into smaller groups, which fanned out across Tivoli Park’s 80 acres armed with shovels, rakes and walkie-talkies. Det. John Coleman, of the Albany Police Department, addressed the group before it dispersed, describing what Ashley was last seen wearing — white pajama pants, a black shirt and white flip-flops — and instructing searchers to call him immediately if they found any potential clues.

“We’re checking every single thing we can, following anything we can,” Coleman said.

But some in the search party don’t think police have been doing enough.

A woman, who identified herself only as Mindy, said she joined the search party to support the family, and expressed frustration with the investigation.

“Nothing’s really been done,” she said. “If she was a college student that went missing from SUNY, it’d be a different story. But she’s not.”

Margaret Carroll and LaMoutain also said they believe there are people with information about Ashley’s disappearance that refuse to come forward. Both women alluded to a close friend of Ashley’s who has since cut off contact with the family, hired a lawyer and stopped answering questions about the night she went missing.

“She’s got a baby, she’s got a mother that misses her,” LaMountain said. “Her mother probably can’t even sleep at night wondering what happened to her daughter. I mean, how do you do that to a family? I don’t understand.”

But more than anything — the anger, the frustration, the confusion, the sadness — Ashley’s family and friends yearn for her to come home.

“We just miss everything about her — her personality, her smile,” LaMountain said. “She had a whole future ahead of her, and we just want her back.”

“She has a baby that when she sees her mommy’s picture, she says, “Mommy, love you,’” LaMountain added as she began to cry. “Just even talking about it just breaks my heart because we just want her back.”

Margaret Carroll appeared weary and tired as she tried to articulate her state of mind since Ashley’s disappearance.

“I couldn’t describe what it feels like,” she said. “It’s ...” She trailed off. “I don’t know. Just like I’m dying inside.”

Albany cops to drain lake in hunt for missing woman

By CAROL DEMARE Staff Writer Published: 09:54 a.m., Tuesday, August 3, 2010

ALBANY -- Police plan on draining Tivoli Lake Tuesday in the investigation of a missing Troy woman who disappeared three months ago.

Ashley Marie Carroll, 24, vanished after telling friends she was meeting up with a boyfriend in the area of First Street in Albany. Her mother in Rensselaer reported Carroll missing to police in Rensselaer where Carroll previously lived. Albany police subsequently joined the search.

Carroll lived in Troy with her 1-year-old daughter, Arionnah, who is being cared for by relatives.

"As part of the overall investigation, they plan on draining the lake," Detective James Miller said. He said it would be drained sometime today.

Late last month, family members of the missing woman organized a search through the Tivoli Preserve which is bordered by Livingston Avenue and Northern Boulevard. There had been tips that evidence could be found in that area, police said.

The search found nothing but a shovel and what looked like fresh dirt. Police dug up the pile of dirt, but there was nothing, Miller said

A friend had dropped off Carroll, who did not have a car, at Quail and First streets in the West Hill neighborhood, police have said. Her boyfriend, Jermon McLean, who she was planning on meeting told police he never saw her. Family members have said Carroll was arguing with McLean through text messaging.

The woman's family made up a Facebook page with various photos of Carroll, hoping it would produce leads. She has hazel eyes, long brown hair and olive skin, is 5-foot-5 and weighs about 140 pounds. A $5,000 reward is being offered in the case.

Charges in mystery
Police: Trio linked to vanished drug dealer, possibly 2 others
By ROBERT GAVIN Staff Writer
Updated:12:05 a.m., Friday, January 7, 2011

ALBANY -- Three Albany men have been charged with kidnapping a high-level marijuana dealer who vanished in June and is presumed dead -- and investigators are probing possible ties to two other local missing persons cases.

Gino Uzzell, 47, of Green Street; Anthony Davis, 39, of North Allen Street; and Jason Benn, 37, of Hudson Avenue are charged with abducting Steven Jackson on June 13 outside a marijuana storage house on Parkwood Street.

Their arrests come after a six-month investigation that revealed possible ties to the disappearances of Ashley Marie Carroll, 24, a Troy woman last seen in May, and a missing man identified only as Donald Green.

Authorities believe Jackson, 41, of Guilderland, known as "Swag," was a drug partner of Uzzell, who allegedly orchestrated his abduction with the help of cronies that included his two co-defendants.

Jackson, formerly of Hempstead on Long Island, was awaiting the delivery of drugs in a deal involving around 500 pounds of marijuana when he was abducted, investigators say.

They allege the kidnappers watched Jackson on Parkwood Street -- using a GPS tracking device -- and engaged in a criminal conspiracy between Feb. 1 and June 16. The co-defendants and two other men allegedly communicated by cellphones during the scheme.

On the day of the abduction, the men allegedly watched the Parkwood Street spot from 8 to 11:07 a.m. Davis and another man placed calls to Uzzell before the abduction, which took place at about 1 p.m., the indictment said.

The investigation was aided by tips generated by media reports of Jackson's disappearance, District Attorney David Soares said in a statement.

"This investigation remains ongoing and additional arrests are expected," he stated.

Uzzell, known as "G," works for the state Department of Health. According to a 1996 article in the Times Union, he once operated Lenzell's, a Central Avenue clothing business, with his mother.

The store's grand opening in March 1996 attracted dignitaries such as Albany County Executive Mike Breslin and Mayor Jerry Jennings. "We're in it for the duration," Uzzell was quoted as saying at the time.

Authorities said Davis, known as "Inf," owns the Super Sandwiches and Deli Shop on Central Avenue in Albany. He was described as the muscle in the apprehension of Jackson.

All three men were charged with first-degree kidnapping and conspiracy. The kidnapping count alone carries 25 years to life.

Benn, known as "Jay," is charged with possessing stolen property because he allegedly used the victim's credit card on the day of the kidnapping at a Price Chopper supermarket on Central Avenue.

The five-count indictment was unsealed Thursday by acting state Supreme Court Justice Dan Lamont. The indictment said the conspirators' plan was to kidnap Jackson and "leave him to die."

It continued: "The object of the conspiracy was to thereby extract information from Steven Jackson relating to the location of marijuana and marijuana proceeds and so to acquire said marijuana proceeds from the person of Steven Jackson and/or from places under his custody or control."

Formal arraignments were postponed for Uzzell and Davis, who did not have attorneys. Benn was represented by Michael Feit. All three pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail at the county jail. Benn was clad in a shirt with an image of a crown and the words "of the hood."

Carroll vanished after telling friends she was meeting up with a boyfriend in the area of First Street in Albany. Her mother, who lives in Rensselaer, reported Carroll missing to police in that city, where Carroll had lived. Albany police subsequently joined the search.

"At least it's a starting point. We haven't heard anything," said Jim Carroll of Cohoes, uncle of Ashley Carroll. "I'm glad to hear something. It's been 244 days ... just not knowing is the worst. I can't tell you how many sleepless nights I've spent. Where could she be?"

The investigation into the disappearance of Jackson involved police from Albany, Guilderland, Rensselaer and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Authorities asked anyone with information about the case or other missing persons cases in the Capital Region to call Albany detectives at 518-462-8039.

Fourth man arraigned in kidnapping case
By ROBERT GAVIN Staff Writer
Updated:04:26 p.m., Monday, January 10, 2011

ALBANY -- A state prisoner on Monday became the fourth person charged with the Albany kidnapping of a high-level marijuana dealer presumed dead -- a disappearance with possible ties to two other missing persons cases.

Ricky Thornton, 40, known as "L," was escorted into Albany County Court by state correction officers to face an indictment alleging he took part in the June 13 abduction of Steven Jackson at 40 Parkwood St. The location was described by authorities as a marijuana storage house.

Thornton allegedly bought a GPS tracking device on Feb. 4 to follow Jackson -- then kept track of him through the day of the kidnapping. Thornton is accused of communicating with alleged cohorts on cell phones that June morning, a five-count indictment said.

Thornton has been serving a 1 1/3-to-4 year stretch at Greene Correctional Facility for possessing more than $3,000 in stolen property on May 5, 2009, in Albany. He was transferred earlier this month to the maximum security Coxsackie Correctional Facility.

He pleaded guilty to the stolen property charge in April last year; he was awaiting Aug. 5 sentencing when he allegedly assisted in the kidnapping of Jackson, 41, of Guilderland.

A spokeswoman for the state Department of Correctional Services said Thornton had earned 44 days of time served before going to prison last August.

On Monday, the indictment charged Thornton with two counts of first-degree kidnapping, which carries a 25-years-to-life sentence, as well as felony conspiracy.

Also charged are Gino Uzzell, 47; Anthony Davis, 39; and Jason Benn, 37, all of Albany, who all appeared in court on Thursday.

A fifth person, identified as Louis Chaney, known as "God," and "UB," was also named in the indictment as an alleged conspirator. He has not been charged in the case.

The initial unsealing of the indictment Thursday followed a six-month investigation authorities say has possible connections to the disappearances of Ashley Marie Carroll, 24, a Troy mother last seen in May, and a man identified as Donald Green, 51, of Schenectady, known as "Uncle Noonie."

Authorities said they believe Jackson, known as "Swag," was a drug partner of Uzzell, a state employee who allegedly orchestrated the kidnapping. They allege Jackson was awaiting the delivery of drugs in a deal involving around 500 pounds of marijuana when he was kidnapped.

The indictment contends Uzzell, known as "G," alerted Davis and Thornton "as to the delivery of marijuana and marijuana proceeds to Steven Jackson." The indictment alleged Uzzell, Davis and Thornton tracked Jackson at his home and the Parkwood Street address in a conspiracy dating to Feb. 1.

During his appearance Monday, Thornton told acting Supreme Court Justice Dan Lamont he did not have an attorney. He asked for three weeks to find one, which the judge said seemed "a little on the long side." He gave Thornton until Jan. 20 to get a lawyer.

Thornton was returned to state prison after the appearance.

ALBANY - One year ago Friday, a young mother went missing on the streets of Albany; not to be seen or heard from since. The grim anniversary spurred the woman's friends and family into action as they remain convinced that someone knows exactly what happened to Ashley Marie Carroll.

By walking the streets of Albany's West Hill Neighborhood, where Ashley disappeared, they were hoping to jog some memories and reunite a baby with its mother.

Adorable Arionnah, who will turn three years old in July, hasn't seen her mommy in exactly one year.

Family to hold vigil for missing woman

Published: 05/04/2012 at 9:28 pm
Updated: 05/04/2012 at 9:49 pm

It is a mystery that began two years ago this Sunday: what happened to Ashley Carroll?

She disappeared from First and Quail in Albany in 2010, and since then, her family has hung an endless stream of posters, and held vigils for her safe return.

They will do the same this Sunday at noon at Bleeker Stadium.

Carroll's family said she would not have run away and abandoned her young daughter.
