I remember this young lady and thing of her often and wonder how a paraplegic gets into the woods and dies alone. She had to have been taken there. Shame on the people responsible. Shame on the investigation for not finding them.
I would like to know the truth about what really happened to her. I mean I’ve heard so many different stories about what happened and seems like investigators dropped the ball on this one. I know that someone else knows the TRUTH. To many times this happens and the family is left with more questions then answers and it is sad that this is how our tax dollars is spent. FYN said they would report back soon but nothing ever came of it. Ash deserves better anyone who dies like that deserves there story to be told better. What would you want if it was you?
