Comox Valley RCMP is still seeking assistance from the public to locate 40-year-old Ashley Bosma.

Ashley was reported missing on October 16, 2025.

Since the report, investigators have been diligently following up on every tip from the public and every piece of information gathered during the initial investigation. Police have confirmed that Ashley was last seen camping near Comox Lake in Cumberland on October 14, 2025. It’s possible she may have entered the surrounding trails, been picked up, or walked to another unknown location.

Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue, RCMP Air Services, Police Dog Services, and numerous frontline officers are all actively involved in the search. Their efforts will continue through the weekend and beyond — everyone will keep looking until Ashley is found.

Ashley was last known to be wearing pink leggings and a grey sweater. Her hair is currently dyed brownish purple and blond. She has blue eyes and is approximately 5’4, 115 lbs. According to her family, the picture released of Ashley is a true likeness of what she looks like and was only taken within the last few weeks.

It is unusual for Ashley not to be in touch with her family and this has caused concern.

If you have any information about Ashley Bosma’s whereabouts, please contact Comox Valley RCMP at (250) 338-1321 and refer to file 2025-15816.
