This is one of those that never leaves me, I hope Asha can get some justice.

I grew up near Asha but I was 6 when she went missing. This case has haunted Cleveland County and her little face can still be seen on local billboards to this day. Justice for Asha 🤍

[marshawarren]

My husband and I pass her small billboard frequently. When we passed last week I said a prayer for her family to get some closure! I will continue to hope for justice!

Never clicked so fast! Justice for Asha!!!

I have a 15 yr old daughter (just the right age to start sneaking out at night) so I just had her listen to Asha's story with me to show her how easily things can go wrong. God bless Asha's little heart.

omg I’m from NC, and never thought there would be new news about Asha. I hope the family receives peace and justice.

Thank you for covering Asha’s case. This happened close to me and I remember crying and being sick over her disappearance for a very long time! Justice for Asha Degree ❤

Thank God investigators haven’t given up. Praying Asha and her family will get justice very soon ♥️
Thank you for the updates Crime Weekly!

Was in the middle of watching your Gypsy Rose video but I just had to stop and play this! This is MAJOR news! JUSTICE FOR ASHA ❤

Omg! Dudeeee, this was one of the first cold cases I became obsessed with. I've had actual nightmares about Asha's fate!

It’s 2:30pm and just opened youtube and it’s finally gotten me out of bed from my depression. Thank you 🙏🏻

This case has always stayed with me. I’m an OG true crime person. I read the books before the internet….so I have heard of tons of cases. This one broke my heart.

Asha was in my top 3 cases I wanted to see solved along with Delphi. I really never thought we would have answers. Hopefully Jennifer Kesse will be the next case to get closure 🙏🏼

I hit watch at lightning speed, I'm from the UK, but have been so emotionally invested in this case. Movement is movement! I'm so glad at least something is happening as it keeps the case in the front of minds. I have absolutely everything crossed right now that this is about to lead to some closure for her family and lived ones, as well as for the rest of us. Not knowing is, I feel, worse than being aware someone is dead. Thank you for the update guys xx

[giraffequeen]

I've been following this case for a few years now and have been praying for this little angel to get justice. 💙

[KristiRose]

This is one case that I have never been able to stop thinking about. I’ve always wanted to know what happened to little Asha. Thank you for covering this! I pray she is found so her family can lay her body to rest respectfully. ❤

[not.samcooke]

i hope Asha’s family can feel how much love we all have for them ❤

[alorac]

Ever since you covered this case I think about it often. It brings so much peace to me, and hopefully to her family that they’re getting closer

[K-yptb]

I’m pleasantly surprised by this update! I hope Asha gets justice soon.

I remember how passionate you were at the time you covered it, and hear you mention her now and then.

I hope this comes to fruition and Asha and her family finally get justice.
