I think about her all time time Praying for some more movement in her case

 

[Mr. Crime Scene]

I can't figure out why see left her home that night. She didn't seem to have any reasons. Though I do wonder if she was groomed or not. I wonder if someone she sort of knew convinced her to leave. Or maybe she had a secret pen pal. of course, how she would keep the letters secret from her parents would have to come up. I've heard some people say that's what the picture of the unidentified girl was for. Asha thought she was talking to someone her age but it was really an adult luring her. How it would have started though could be confusing itself.

Also, does anyone know if the school have told the cops the Asha had the Dr Seuss book? That way they could look for that. Surely they knew she had it as it should have been in the records. Unless it was cleared before they could notice.

I’m surprised not much movement has happened in the past year … I was so hopeful when everything started emerging and it seemed like pieces were coming together a year ago.

Praying and hoping for justice and a resolution for her.

From all I've read of the case, police believe she planned to leave that night. I don't think we will ever know the reason. The book information was discovered/shared so long after she disappeared they were unable to determine who checked it out and when.

I think it she had a secret pen pal she would have taken the letters with her and they would have been in her book bag. I also think the mail carrier would have come forward to report if letters had been delivered for her.

For a long time I suspected the people who owned the furniture repair shop. With recent developments I'm not so sure.

I do feel the case was not investigated as it should have due to connections and power. And this is such a disgrace and miscarriage of justice. MOO

Really is sick and sad to read about all the connections and power the potential patriarch involved has. If they were involved, I wish they’d just talk and let this little girl finally have justice.

I could never figure out why she left either. I guess I’ve settled on her just wanting to run away from home. It does happen. Few kids would do something as drastic as she did, but strange things happen all the time.

Just very sad and unfair tragedy had to befall her instead of someone being able to stop and help her.
