Friend remembers ‘always laughing’ Ashley Wadsworth, but ‘she needed help’
VERNON — A friend of Ashley Wadsworth, the young Vernon woman murdered in England this week, says there was never a dull moment with her.
But, she had also been reaching out for help and her relationship with the boyfriend who has been charged with her death “wasn’t good,” according to someone who kept regular contact with her.
Media reports say she met Jack Sepple online and was planning to fly back to Vernon this week. The 23-year-old Sepple has since been charged in her murder.
Daniel Seaman, a student at the Mormon-sponsored Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah, told Kelowna10 he met Wadsworth while doing community service for the church in Vernon early last year. He said she had been “looking for faith” and was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in March.
