At 43, Stacey Stanley was a grandma with a punk rock look.
She wore her hair short and spiky, and she often donned a studded leather choker necklace or a black and white bandana.
Stacey had the music taste to match her look.
Classic rock was her favorite, and she was not shy about performing it at karaoke.
Her sister Gina Stanley says her go-to songs were Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird and Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N' Roses.
Gina shared the video with ABC News.
In this home video, a teenage Stacey with dark, very high volume hair holds a microphone and belts with confidence in her living room.
Stacy and her sister Gina were just 11 months apart in age.
We grew up to be very close.
What was Stacy like?
Gina told me Stacey was the glue that held the family together.
She was very close with her two sons, Corey and Curtis.
Stacy lived in Greenwich, Ohio, about 20 minutes from Ashland.
She didn't seem to have anything in common with Jane Doe, who was kidnapped in the town, or with Elizabeth Griffith, who had recently gone missing from Ashland.
But on September 8th, 2016, Stacy Stanley drove into Ashland to run some errands, and she never returned home.
