[Collected on the Internet, 2000] Asha Jaquilla Degree, a then nine-year-old girl, disappeared from her North Carolina home on 14 February 2000. She was last seen by her family sleeping in her bed at approximately 2:30 A.M., but at 4:00 A.M. that morning motorists reported spotting her walking along North Carolina Highway 18 in Shelby, North Carolina. Unfortunately, despite a few minor breaks in the case, Asha Degree was not found. In August 2001, Asha's book bag (along with a pair of men's pants and some animal bones) was discovered by a construction worker in a wooded area along N.C. 18, forty miles down the highway on which Asha was last seen, but it yielded no clues to her current whereabouts. In November 2004, acting on a tip an inmate at the Cleveland County jail, authorities searched an area about six miles from Asha's home and dug up some bones at the corner of Shelby and Rube Spangler roads in Lawndale, but those remains proved to be animal, not human. As of 22 May 2017, Asha Degree remained missing. Age-progressed renderings of how Asha would look as an older child and young adult can be viewed at both of the links below.
