Ashley Elkins landfill search concludes without police finding missing Warren mother

MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - Police wrapped up their search of a Macomb County landfill this weekend as they continue to look for Ashley Elkins, her family said Monday.
Elkins, 30, has been missing since Jan. 2, when she texted a family member saying she was on her way home from errands but never arrived.
Investigators zero in on landfill
What we know:
After seizing a dumpster from the Roseville apartment complex where Elkins' ex-boyfriend De'Andre Booker lives, investigators headed north to Pine Tree Acres in Lenox Township.
Elkins' family has been suspicious of Booker since she disappeared, and have said they believe he threw her away.
"Her mother has said numerous times, ‘He threw her out with the trash,’" her uncle, Maurice Morton, said. "That's disheartening."
Elkins' phone last pinged at Booker's apartment.
They spent days combing through trash at the landfill, with a focus on about a 6 ½ acre parcel. Police had said they were confident their search of the landfill would turn up clues.
What we don't know:
Though Elkins' remains were not found at Pine Tree Acres, it isn't clear if police found any other evidence while searching the landfill.
What happened to Ashley Elkins?
The backstory:
Elkins' family last heard from her on Jan. 2 when she sent a text saying she was headed home from running errands. However, she never made it home.
According to her family, it is unusual for Elkins, a mother of two, to not have contact with her loved ones, especially her sons.
"She loves her family, her kids. She would never just disappear for this many days," her sister Alexis Elkins said.
Ex-boyfriend faces charges
On Jan. 9, Booker was charged with lying to police. Those charges came after police searched his apartment before arresting him in Flint.
According to authorities, Elkins' vehicle was found a few miles away from Booker's apartment. He allegedly lied about his whereabouts.
The prosecutor who appeared in court for Booker's arraignment said Booker's internet searches after Elkins disappeared suggest that he was planning to flee Michigan.
While in Flint, Booker is accused of planning to leave Michigan by looking up routes out of state.
His research also included what to do while on the run, as well as how to beat a polygraph test, and if blood is traceable, the prosecution said.
Additionally, he allegedly looked up how to delete his Google search history.
The prosecution argued that these searches suggest that Booker would flee if released on bond. His bond was set at $250,000 cash/surety.
Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido said more charges could be added, even if they don't find Elkins' body. As of Monday, no additional charges have been filed against Booker.
Who is De'Andre Booker?
Booker is 32 and lives near Gratiot and Frazho in Roseville.
According to information presented in court, Booker is currently unemployed.
Booker previously served in the United States Army but was removed from the military with a less than honorable discharge after going AWOL in 2017. This happened after he was charged the year before with several crimes while serving, including larceny and possessing fake identification documents.
