There is one theory that fits with my belief that the way the bag was treated suggests a connection or guilt, and that’s a hit and run. I think it’s entirely possible that someone was driving down dark and lonely Highway 18 that morning, and accidentally struck Asha. This person then stepped from his or her vehicle, saw what they had done, and in their panic, picked up Asha and her bag and drove off with them. Obviously, they would have disposed of the body in some way, shape, or form, and would have done it so well that we’ve yet to find any signs of Asha, which is ultimately very strange because we have found her bag. Of course, this was during the construction of a home, and probably a lucky occurrence. That being said, why would you put Asha somewhere else and not place her near her bag? It doesn’t make a lot of sense to make two trips to do this. I know this is a very morbid road to go down, but I think it’s a thought process that needs to be followed. I think the taking care of and burial of the bag is significant. We know it was found 26 miles North of where Asha was last seen walking. To me, if it were a hit and run, it’s entirely possible that this person was heading North and the reason the bag was buried where it was is because it was along the way. Maybe this person was super familiar with the area, and maybe this person even lives in the area, or perhaps this person lived further North and that area was just one he or she passed through and knew to be somewhat secluded. It wasn’t exactly buried in a way that suggests that it was trying to be hid well. It wasn’t far off the side of the road which to me suggests that the person who buried it was panicked and in a rush, didn’t want to run the risk of the car being parked on the side of the road for too long when someone might pass by and remember it. This kind of thing happens. Just today I was discussing a case with a former law enforcement officer and he told me about a case of a woman vanishing and later a man confessed that he hit her with his car and in a panic disposed of her body. This occurred not too far from where Asha vanished. It’s a tragic event, but not an impossible one. I think this is extremely possible that this is exactly what happened to Asha Degree.
