New Clues In The Search For Asha Degree.

Asha Degree went missing when she was 9 years old on February 14th, 2000,from Shelby, North Carolina, United States.
A year and a half later, her book bag, still packed, was unearthed from a construction site along Highway 18 north of Shelby.
In early October of this year the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office announced two “new possible clues”.
The first clue is a library book from Fallston Elementary School in Cleveland County, Cleveland.The book, “McElligot’s Pool” by Dr. Seuss, shows a fish chasing a worm on a hook on its cover.
Unfortunately the library records at the Fallston Elementary School Media Center don’t go back to the year of Asha’s disappearance.
The second clue was a concert T-shirt from New Kids on the Block, which formed in the 1980s and is currently on tour.
Officials said investigators were working on the assumption that Asha is alive.
In May 2016, the FBI announced it was looking for an early 1970s Lincoln Mark IV or Thunderbird, based on a tip that someone who looked like Asha may have gotten into a car like that on N.C. 18, around the time she disappeared.
A $45,000 reward is available for information on the case, according to the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office video. 
Anyone with information on the library book, the shirt or other details can call 704-484-4822.
