(Cleveland, OH) Special Agent in Charge Gregory Nelsen of the Cleveland Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cleveland Division of Police Chief Wayne Drummond, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), announce the release of an age progression photo of Ashley Summers. Ashley Summers was last seen on or about July 8, 2007. Law enforcement believe there may be several areas of interest where Ashley was known to frequent, specifically: the 2100 block of West 96th, the 3800 block of West 23rd, the 1100 block of Holmden Avenue, and the 3400 block of West 44th, all in Cleveland. At the time of her disappearance, Ashley was 5’5, 130 lbs. with long brown hair and blue eyes. She had a red heart outline tattoo on her upper right arm with the name “Gene” in a black ink ribbon across the middle.
The age-progression image, created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, shows the likeness of Ashley at today’s present age of 29.
“We appreciate the expertise of NCMEC and their unwavering mission to find missing children,” said Cleveland FBI Special Agent in Charge Gregory Nelsen. “Although time continues to pass, our focus remains clear – to share critical information such as an age-enhanced image with the public so we can gather information about Ashley’s whereabouts and every person who remains missing.”
“The Cleveland Division of Police, along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, continues to investigate the disappearance of Ashley Summers and we hope that the visual component of this new photo will assist in bringing forward additional information,” said Cleveland Police Chief Wayne Drummond. “Ashley’s case, like all missing persons cases, remains open and active. We encourage anyone with information to contact law enforcement.”
The Cleveland Division of the FBI, the FBI’s Violent Crime Task Force and Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team, the Cleveland Division of Police, and Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) have made contact with individuals that knew Ashley or may have had contact with her prior to July 2007 and are again seeking the public’s help to bring Ashley home.
“Ashley is a young and vibrant young woman with a strong and willful spirit. Her disappearance has left our family broken and irreparable until we can one day reunite with her. We encourage anyone who may know something to contact the local police department. We appreciate the continued efforts and resources the FBI, The Cleveland Police Department and The National Center for Missing Children have supplied while pursuing any leads involving Ashley,” said Jennifer Summers, mother of Ashley.
“We've seen countless times how our age progression images can help be a driving force in a search for a missing child,” said Angeline Hartmann, Director of Communications at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. “We’re asking everyone to take a good look at Ashley’s brand-new image. Ashley disappeared when she was 14 years old, and she would be 29 today. We just need the right person to recognize Ashley and help bring her home.”
With the release of the age-progression image, law enforcement reminds the public if they had any interaction with Ashley or possible knowledge of what may have happened to Ashley to please contact the FBI at 216-522-1400, the Cleveland Division of Police 1st District Detective Bureau (216-623-5118) or Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County at (216) 252-7463 (216-25 CRIME) or online at www.25crime.com. Your identity can remain anonymous when sharing a tip.
Crime Stoppers is offering reward money for information leading to the successful location of Ashley Summers and/or information leading to the successful identification of the individual(s) responsible for her disappearance.

I wonder if great uncle Kevin, or any of the people he was involved with (since he went to prison for sex crimes, have anything to do with Ashley's disappearance. It's something that keeps coming back to me since she spent time there, even the day she disappeared, they argued & he broke her phone. I wonder if police interviewed him & looked at people or girls involved to consider this.

Her mother, Jennifer Summers, says her mysterious disappearance “has left our family in pieces.”
“We cling to the hope of her safe return,” she says in a press release from the FBI. “We appeal to anyone with information to come forward and contact the Cleveland FBI."
“We will go wherever the evidence leads us,” she says. “We're going to knock down every door, and we're going to try and identify every different potential lead and follow it to its logical conclusion because I'm not going to rule anything out at this point in time. I’m just as willing to believe one theory over another based on the evidence and to follow that wherever it takes us."

"[Ashley] had started to disagree with her mom about a couple of things," FBI Cleveland Special Agent Cristin McCaskill said in a post on the FBI’s website. "One point of contention was when Ashley got a tattoo—it read 'Gene,' the name of her boyfriend at the time, with a heart around it."

"This is still very much an active investigation," McCaskill continued. "We still hope to bring resolution to Ashley's family. And I believe that the only way we're going to be able to do that at this point is through tips—and the only way to generate those tips is by getting Ashley's story out to the public''
