Ashley Huley Enters the Picture

At 32:05 · chapter starts 30:20

When Sheldon tells investigators to speak to Ashley Huley, they visit her at the Village Manor Apartments. Ashley immediately claims to be Brittany's sister — a claim Brittany's father flatly denies. She eventually walks it back to 'best friend,' then in a later interview acknowledges that while she considered Brittany her best friend, she wasn't sure Brittany felt the same way. Family members suggest Ashley wasn't nearly as close to Brittany as she portrayed herself to be. What makes Ashley especially interesting to investigators — and to Brittany's family — is that she serves as the alibi for Eric Schenck, Brittany's estranged husband. Eric, who knows Ashley from the same drug-use circle at the Village Manor Apartments, told investigators he arrived at Ashley's apartment at 8:40 PM and stayed most of the night. That is, conveniently, the exact window when Brittany vanished. Ashley also later left for what she said was filling her car's tires with air at 1 AM, then returned and eventually went home around 2 AM — a story that raises as many questions as it answers.

MISSING: Brittany Wallace Shank · Jun 22, 2026 True Crime

Ashley Huley inserted herself into the investigation immediately, first claiming to be Brittany's sister, then walking it back to 'best friend,' then 'close friend.' She accessed Brittany's Facebook after her disappearance. She had photos of a gas receipt from the night Brittany vanished. And Eric Schenck — Brittany's estranged husband — was her alibi.
