FBI Seeking North Carolina Girl Who Disappeared 12 Years Ago

Asha Jaquilla Degree has been missing from her home in Shelby, North Carolina, since February 14, 2000. Family members last saw her asleep in her bedroom at approximately 2:30 a.m. At 4 a.m., she was seen by drivers walking along North Carolina Highway 18 in Shelby, North Carolina. She was reported missing by her parents by 6:30 a.m. More than a year later, Asha’s book bag was discovered buried along North Carolina 18 in Burke County.

A photo of Asha as a 9-year-old child and an age-progressed photo of what she would look like at the age of 19 will be featured on 14 digital billboards across the Charlotte area and have been sent out on various FBI social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter.

FBI Charlotte, which is investigating the case in partnership with the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, posted a message today on its Twitter feed highlighting the case.
