## Resource

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Ashley Ann Carlson with me today. The murder of Ashley Ann Carlson is one of the most disturbing child murder cases in Oregon true crime history. In February 1999, 7-year-old Ashley Carlson vanished from her neighborhood in Astoria, Oregon, sparking a massive search for the missing child. What investigators eventually uncovered shocked the community: Ashley had been abducted, assaulted, and murdered by her 16-year-old babysitter and neighbor, Patrick Harned. Even more chilling, Harned participated in the search efforts while hiding Ashley's body beneath the floorboards of his basement bedroom. Convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to life in prison, Harned's case later became the subject of debate over juvenile sentencing laws. The Ashley Carlson murder remains one of the most heartbreaking and infamous true crime cases involving a missing child, betrayal of trust, and a killer hiding in plain sight
