Show notes

Today’s story is actually one I covered with melissa in season 1 and st the time of that recording it was truly an unsolved mystery BUT thanks to the hardworking efforts of the police and the victims family, this case is no longer unsolved.
It’s about a woman who had everything to look forward to. A new place and a new baby on the way. She was actually 8 months pregnant and on the day of her baby shower, she just never showed up.
showed up for her baby shower.
its been 6 years since the day of that baby shower and she's never been heard or seen from again.
Stay tuned to the very end to of this episode to hear how the family of this victim finally got the justice they were fighting for on July 27, 2023.

S1 Ep7: UnderReported Episode #7 - Asha Degree Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

Today’s story is equally as baffling as it is heartbreaking.
It goes back over 20 years, when one family's life was forever changed…in the worst possible way.
It starts off the way many of us, parents in particular, end our days… you're kids have already gone to bed and before you turn it in for the night yourself, you do room checks…make sure your kids are in their rooms, confirm they are peacefully sleeping in their bed and then head to bed yourself….and before you know it, your alarm is sounding and you return to that same room to wake your kids up for school…but what happens when one of you kids. Your child. Your baby. The one you JUST kissed goodnight is not in that bed.. Or that room. Or the house.
She’s missing… And not only is she missing but all the signs are pointing to her NOT being taken…but instead that she instead she LEFT.
Stay tuned as we tell the UnderReported story of Asha Degree, a 9 year old girl that has been missing for 22 years.
