## Resource

Nine year old Asha Degree left her North Carolina home in the early morning hours of Valentine’s Day 2000 and began walking alone along Highway 18. Multiple drivers reported seeing her before she disappeared into the darkness. Months later, her backpack was discovered buried miles away, containing items that raised more questions than answers. Why would a child leave home in the middle of the night, and who encountered her on that road? More than two decades later, her case remains unsolved.
