Ex-D.C. Mom’s Ex Goes to Extradition Hearing in Pennsylvania

Russell Ashford, ex-partner of missing Northwest D.C. mother Antoinette Forbes, appeared in Beaver County, PA for an extradition hearing on a Montgomery County probation-violation warrant; Forbes has been missing for more than a week and investigators, led by the MPD’s homicide unit, are treating her disappearance as suspicious with potential evidence she is dead. Ashford was arrested in Pennsylvania on the warrant and is being held in Beaver County Jail pending extradition to Maryland, while Pennsylvania authorities say they have not filed charges related to Forbes’ disappearance. The case has a lengthy custody dispute history between Forbes and Ashford, and authorities are seeking any information from the public.

Pennsylvania custody arrest adds new twist to DC mother’s disappearance

Beaver County authorities say a man named Russell Ashford—matching the name and birth date of Antoinette Forbes’s child’s father—is in custody, though DC police have not named him a suspect in Forbes’s disappearance. Forbes, a 53-year-old DC mother who was last seen Sept. 4 in the Nebraska Avenue NW area, remains missing as relatives and friends continue to search. The arrest comes as investigators review a years‑long custody battle between Forbes and Ashford, including a prior assault conviction, and no public link between the Pennsylvania custody case and Forbes’s disappearance has been announced.
