In April of 2006, Ashley Reeves was 17-years-old & a junior at Columbia High School who lived in Millstadt, Illinois with her parents & her younger sister Casey. Ashley was very social & a great student who kept up good grades in high school; her friends described her as funny & bright. Her parents adored her & she was dating a boy named Jeremy for close to two years. Ashley’s parents approved of the relationship & felt that Jeremy was wholesome & caring toward their daughter. On Thursday, April 27, 2006, Ashley told her parents that after school, she was making the 20 minute drive to Fairview Heights for an interview & then heading to play basketball afterwards with a friend, but she assured them that she would be home by her 10 pm curfew. Allison tells us the rest of the story.
