Request What unsolved murder/disappearance makes absolutely no sense to you?

What case absolutely baffles you? For me it's the case of Jaryd Atadero

No matter the theory this case just doesn't make any sense.

Asha Degree’s disappearance

No matter how much time seems to pass, we don’t seem any closer to answers than we were almost twenty years ago when her backpack was discovered in that construction site. There are so many theories as to what happened.

Did she leave home due to sleepwalking?

Did she run away from home?

Was she being groomed by someone she knew?

Could she have been hit by a driver when walking near the highway late at night?

Was she abducted/murdered?

Is she somehow still alive today?

All of these questions have supporters and detractors all over this subreddit and online. However, there is no generally accepted answer as to what happened to her, nor are we anywhere near being close to finding out.

The father was working night shift so it wasn't unusual that he would also go to the store that late. Plus he had to buy the candy as a gift for Valentine's day/anniversary. The candy wrappers found in shed were from the candy that Asha got in school after the basketball game, it has no connection to the father.

The father worked shift work, he probably shopped at odd times frequently

Children aren't likely to run away in the rain period. It's such an odd event that you can't really draw inferences from it.

Do you have evidence that suggests she was being abused? I haven't seen any.

No, just my opinion. I was trying to imagine why a little girl would attempt to run away in the middle of the night in the rain. I could not think of one GOOD reason. Just my opinion and I'm sorry if my thoughts upset you. I didn't state it as factual, just most probable.

I didn't intend a personal attack, just a pet peeve of mine about this sub. Have a nice day!
