Did She Run Away Or Was She Kidnapped?

Ashley Nicole Summers

She was 14 years old when she went missing from Cleveland, Ohio, on July 9th, 2007.

She lived with her great-uncle in the 2100 block of west 96th Street, near Madison Avenue.

Ashley disappeared after an argument, taking all her clothes with her.

A month later, she called her mother to say she was okay and not to worry.
In November of that year, Ashley's step-grandmother believes she saw Ashley from her car on west 44th Street. 

Ashley had her hair cut short and dyed blonde. 

She disappeared before her step-grandmother could turn the car around.

When she was last seen Ashley was 5'5" tall, 130 lbs, with brown hair and blue eyes.

Ashley has a tattoo on her right arm of a heart with the name "Gene" on it.

She was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.

There is a theory out there that she was abducted by Ariel Castro.

However, authorities can find nothing that links him to her disappearance.
