14-year-old Ashley Summers was getting interested in boys, rebelling, and just trying to find herself in the summer of 2007. The Cleveland, Ohio native came from a large, supportive family with whom she was close. But after attending a pool party at an uncle’s house and saying she was going to her aunt’s house nearby, Ashley disappeared. The 13 years that followed have brought up more questions than answers. Was she actually seen after her disappearance? Could she be linked to other high-profile Cleveland kidnappings? Or was a member of her close-knit family hiding something more insidious?For all of our sources, photos, and videos, please visit AndThenTheyWereGone.comSources: Wikipedia: Ariel Castro kidnappings Cleveland kidnapping survivors Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus on journey from captivity to helping others True Case Files: The Disappearance of Ashley Summers U.S. NEWS Girl Who Vanished at 14 May Have Been Spotted Eight Years Later Uncle of missing teen Ashley Summers charged with rape Three missing cases connected?
