The family of a missing woman is asking hunters heading into the woods this weekend near Hinckley to keep their eyes peeled for the mother of four.

Ashley Miller (Carlson), 33, of the Grantsburg, Wisconsin area, was last seen near Lena Lake, about 25 miles east of Hinckley, on September 23.

Her vehicle was found abandoned. Authorities don't know what she was wearing or where she was headed.

Ashley is 5′9″ with dark brown hair and dark purple highlights. She has hazel eyes.

The family said the Applied Professional Services (APS) investigation firm they hired has received many tips, but there is no new information to share about Miller's whereabouts.

They say they appreciate the support over the past 43 days.

“The outpouring of support our family has received in our search for Ashley has been incredible," the family wrote in a statement Friday. "We are so thankful for the kindness of friends and strangers, the diligence of many law enforcement agencies and the help of news organizations that are keeping Ashley’s picture and information in front of the public,” said Krista Struck, Ashley’s mother. “As hunters venture into the woods in the coming days, we ask that they keep their eyes open for Ashley as well.”

The family originally offered a $10,000 reward for any information that lead to Carlson's rescue or recovery. They have since boosted that reward to $20,000.

Anyone with information is asked to call or text 218-241-0341, a tip line that’s monitored 24 hours a day by APS investigators.  The information can be shared confidentially.
