Yes. Ashley was abducted from the same area. Bumping for Asheley.
‘We’re hoping for a miracle’: Family of fourth missing Cleveland teen hopes FBI can connect case
Ashley Summers, 16, disappeared in 2007 from the same West Side neighborhood where three women were found alive in a home Monday after they went missing a decade ago. The FBI said it will ask those women if they knew about Summers.
The Summers family has been glued to the television since Monday, hanging on every detail of the escape from the Ohio city’s house of horrors.
In 2007, Ashley Summers, who was then 14, vanished from the same West Side neighborhood where Gina DeJesus, 23, Michelle Knight, 32, and Amanda Berry, 27, were abducted, according to cops.
The trio’s escape has sent the Summers family on an emotional roller coaster.
“I've imagined all the stuff. Being held like that, tortured like that. My niece could be going through that now,” said Ashley’s aunt, Debrah Summers. “Does she have a baby too? I just can't sleep at all."
The Summers family was particularly disturbed by reports that the basement of Ariel Castro’s home — which allegedly served as a dungeon — had “RIP” scrawled on the wall alongside a woman’s name.
Debrah Summers said that her sister, Jennifer, received a chilling call from someone she believed was Ashley a month after her disappearance.
“I’m okay,” the girl on the other end of the line said before hanging up.
Jennifer immediately contacted the FBI, who then scoured phone records and asked her which numbers she didn’t recognize.
Debrah Summers recalled that Jennifer noted one number that corresponded to a Castro — though she didn’t think anything of it because a cousin was dating someone with the last name of Castro.
Now, in hindsight, the chilling detail has Debrah Summers’ mind racing. Jennifer, she said, has contacted the FBI, but has yet to receive any information.
Has there been any confirmation about the "fourth woman"?
CLEVELAND - Saturday, dozens braved the cold and marched down Denison Avenue on Cleveland's west side in an effort to remind community members, there are still people missing in their area.
