7. Asha Jaquilla Degree

Asha Jaquilla Degree (born August 5, 1990) is an African American female from Shelby, North Carolina, United States. In the early morning hours of February 14, 2000, for reasons unknown, she packed her bookbag, left her family home north of the city and began walking along nearby North Carolina Highway 18 despite heavy rain and wind. Several passing motorists saw her; when one turned around at a point 1.3 miles from her home and began to approach her, she left the roadside and ran into a wooded area. In the morning, her parents discovered her absence. No one has seen her since.

“After a child abduction, a positive parental response in the first 24 hours is essential. After the first 24 hours, the chances of a stolen child being returned are ever diminishing. During the first minutes and hours following an abduction, the parents, social drive is the most important factor in maximizing the chances of their child being returned quickly and safely.”
