It was a cold and rainy Valentine's day in 2000 when Harold Degree checked in on his 9 year old daughter Asha at 2:30 in the morning. Just a little while later, Asha would get up, pack a bag, and leave her house. She would be seen by multiple witnesses along highway 18 one of those witnesses turned around and approached her. Asha would take off into the woods along the highway to never be seen or heard from again.
