Monica was involved with drugs and prostitution. She would come home every other day or so to see her children, who lived with family members. Monica had been divorced from her husband for about a year. Until her disappearance, Appleton had lived in Pampa with her two children, ages 7 and 10, and her mother but made frequent trips to Amarillo.

Throughout the years since Monica went missing, leads and or rumors have been followed up on with no luck. There are some who say Monica was killed and others think she is in hiding. She never had before stayed away from her family.
