December 12, 2025 What Most Likely Happened: The Disappearance of Asha Degree
In this episode, we examine the unresolved disappearance of Asha Degree, a nine-year-old girl who vanished from her home in Shelby, North Carolina, in the early hours of February 14, 2000.

Asha was last seen leaving her house alone in the middle of the night during a cold rainstorm. Multiple motorists later reported seeing a small child walking along Highway 18, several miles from her home. When one driver tried to approach her, the child ran into the nearby woods.

More than a year later, Asha’s backpack was discovered buried along the same highway, wrapped in plastic. Its contents raised new questions and suggested that someone may have been involved in her disappearance.

Despite extensive searches, national media coverage, and decades of investigation, no confirmed suspects have ever been named. Authorities continue to believe that Asha did not survive, but the circumstances surrounding why she left her home — and who she may have encountered — remain unknown.

More than twenty years later, the case of Asha Degree remains one of the most disturbing and puzzling child disappearance cases in American history.
