IIRC it was out long enough that they couldn't take their baths and that's why mom woke up early the following morning - for bath time. A car had hit a utility pole and knocked it out I think. I'm by no means an expert though.So, if we are considering this article legitimate, and the power was out that night, how long was it out?
Thank you. So then my question is, we are to believe that a young child that is already afraid of the dark wakes up during a power outage, sheer blackness all around the neighborhood, and she runs away?

That is definitely one of the big mysteries, considering it is also claimed by the parents that she was afraid of storms. Her brother stated, iirc, that he woke to the sound her her packing her bag in the room during the night. Based on this it would seem she left independently and was not abducted or escorted out (but it doesn't rule out being lured, groomed). Regardless of how she left the home, she is reportedly sighted alone.Thank you.

Here are the rest of my notes from the podcast I listened to. My other notes are a few post up thread.
The man being interviewed is Mark Davis who is a retired Sgt. from the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office.
Roy Blanton and his son Roy Blanton Jr. are said to have seen Asha that morning. Mark confirmed Roy Blanton was former LE. Mark didn’t mention anything shady about his son Roy Blanton Jr. but we have heard he is questionable. My thought is that is irrelevant because since Jr. was with father, how could he have done anything to Asha?
Regarding trying to track Asha’s scent in fields near her house, Mark said so many people were searching the area, it would have made it hard for dogs to track her scent.
Items in the Turner Upholstery shed were not confirmed to belong to Asha. We know mom said the pencil was hers, but Mark said he doesn’t have confirmation of that.
Finally, this is big!!! Her book bag was NOT buried. Grass had grown up around it, because it sat there for awhile. It was not buried. He speculates the bag was thrown out of a window of a moving car.
IMO it makes more sense to toss it out the window than to preserve it/hide it underground. Know that it was a tossing location vs a burying location is a significant distinction in my mind.Wikipedia states the bookbag was "unearthed" at a construction site.
Wonder how they can determine that it was thrown from a car and grass grew around it VS. it being buried? With all the different stories circulating, which one do you believe? No wonder this poor young girl is still missing!
The Wikipedia page lists several sources for that information. The Wilmington Morning Star states that the bag was found less than 50 yards from the highway. That could be anywhere from 1 to almost 50, so that's not much help.Wikipedia states the bookbag was "unearthed" at a construction site.

I wonder if tossing the bookbag was to get rid of it from their possession or in hopes of it being found..as if to taunt?
But why not just toss the bookbag with its contents inside..why wrap it? That says, to me, it was to keep pristine and preserved.
