Family members of a missing Cody woman are asking anyone with information about her whereabouts to get in touch with law enforcement.

Katie Ferguson was last seen on Oct. 10 in Arkansas and “we are in desperate need to find her,” Ferguson’s mother, Mona Hartling, wrote in a Nov. 5 Facebook post.

Ferguson had been traveling from Dothan, Alabama, to Cody with her ex-boyfriend and their two children, but “somewhere near Little Rock, Arkansas she disappeared,” Hartling wrote.

Hartling shared few other details, explaining in a Saturday post that “we can’t do anything to hurt her [Ferguson’s] case.” Another family member said a detective is involved in the investigation.

Ferguson’s ex, Adam Aviles Jr., reportedly returned to Cody with the two children. Aviles was arrested last week, but there’s no indication that his arrest was related to Ferguson’s disappearance.

Court records say Aviles and the children had been living with his father. On Nov. 6, however, Aviles’ father told the Park County Sheriff’s Office that he’d just kicked Aviles out of the house after finding meth and paraphernalia. Hours later, Aviles allegedly stole his father’s 2000 Chevy truck, Sheriff Darrell Steward wrote in an affidavit.

Steward said he and agents with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation searched Aviles’ father’s home on Nov. 8 and found additional drug paraphernalia that the father had apparently been unaware of. Then, as the officers prepared to leave, Aviles reached out to say he was at a family member’s home and wanted to turn himself in.

Aviles was taken into custody, reported telling Steward that “he did not wish to speak with me without his attorney present.”

On Nov. 9, the Park County Attorney’s Office charged Aviles with misdemeanor counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. Those charges were dropped Monday afternoon, but Aviles remained in custody at the Park County Detention Center, indicating another agency has placed a hold on him. However, both Steward and Park County Attorney Bryan Skoric declined to comment on whether that was the case.

Meanwhile, Ferguson’s family members continue to look for her.

“She is just not a report on a missing person list,” Ferguson’s stepmother, Angela Ferguson, wrote in a Saturday Facebook post. “She is a friend, daughter, sister, mother and niece.”

On Monday morning, Hartling wrote a post addressed to Ferguson, pledging she would never stop looking for her daughter.

“… We will find you baby!” she wrote.
