Their Teenage Daughter Got Into an Illegal Relationship With a Nine-Year Older Man, Then She Was Thrown Into The Woods
The tragic case of Ashley Reeves
The police pressed Samson Shelton for answers about where Ashley was.
It had been more than twenty-four hours since Ashley had disappeared.
Finally, Samson agreed to take the police to the woods where he had left her.
Samson: Can I go show you what happened please? Please? I did the stupidest thing.
Detective: What?
Samson: If I knew I’d have taken her to a hospital… it would have been so obvious. I tied this thing around her neck to make it look like someone choked her out there. I was just getting rid of her, just threw her out, and left.
Detective: What direction is it? Out near where?
Samson: I’d literally have to show you.
A few minutes later, the police found Ashley dumped in the woods.
Detective: Oh, hey, hey, right there…. if I could get some light, please.
She’s breathing. Get EMTs…… I can see your eyes moving with the light Ashley. Can you say anything?….. Ashley? Can you hear me?
