Ash has covered Natalia Grace twice in the past, once with Megan from Give Us Morgue and once with co-host Ali. When Ash first discussed Natalia's case with Megan, they were very skeptical about whether Natalia was a conniving little person or an abandoned little girl. Once the first season of "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace" aired, Ash and Ali re-discussed the case and were both convinced that Natalia was an abused and abandoned child.

As you'll hear over the next week, as recaps of episodes 1-6 of season 2 of "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace" come out, Ash still very much believes... nay, knows, that Natalia was a child. Look out for a recap of the first episode tomorrow!
