Moore Mother Arrested As Police Search For Missing 5-Year-Old Boy

A woman in Moore was arrested in relation to the disappearance of her 5-year-old son, police say.

According to court records, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services was sent to collect the 5-year-old son of Ashley Rowland in April, but could not locate the boy.

Moore Police said the boy has not been seen since 2022. Investigators said Rowland told them she gave the boy to a man who sold her meth and has not seen him since.

Rowland is now facing charges of child abandonment as investigators try to find the 5-year-old.

Police say they are unsure if the boy is alive at this point.
