29: Shadows of Mystery Podcast Episode 29: The Vanishing of Asha Degree

Today we examine one of the most haunting cases in recent memory, the disappearance of Asha Degree. Asha was a bright, kind, and loved nine-year-old girl when she vanished into the darkness of a February night in 2000. Her case is one that has puzzled investigators for over two decades. How does a young girl leave her family home in the middle of the night, only to disappear without a trace? And why?

Asha’s disappearance is a reminder of how fragile and precious life is, and how the unexpected can shatter the sense of safety we often take for granted. Her story is not just one of heartbreak, but also one of resilience — from her family who has devoted their lives to searching for answers, to the countless volunteers and investigators who have refused to give up hope. The scars left by her absence have only deepened their determination to uncover the truth, to ensure her light is never forgotten, and to inspire others to remain vigilant in the fight for justice.
