Have You Seen Ashley Summers?
Ashley Summers disappeared July 6, 2007 from her Cleveland, Ohio home, and hasn’t returned since.
The media has, for the most part, ignored the story, since Ashley isn’t from an affluent suburb, according to local crime writer/Scene contributor James Renner, known for his investigative work on the Amy Mihaljevic case. “If she’d been a cute young little girl from a rich suburb, you’d know her name. She’d be all over the news. Maybe even on Nancy Grace. But 15-year-old Ashley Summers was from the near-West side of Cleveland, from a ramshackle house on Holmden Avenue where the lawn has been overrun by little kids and dogs.” The local media put out the family’s press release, but hasn’t bothered to speak with the family, nor have any of the outlets broadcasted any follow-up stories.
The FBI has has an open Missing Person investigation, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children placed her on their list last June.
According to information posted on Renner’s blog, The Coldest Cases, Ashley was living with a great-uncle on Holmden Avenue, in a dangerous neighborhood, at the time of her disappearance. Eric “Big Willie” Wilson was a known frequenter of the area at the time. Wilson has been in the news as the man who shot 12-year-old Cookie Thomas, who got caught up in the gunfire from a botched drug deal. Wilson went on the lam and was captured in Montana. He was found guilty last year of kidnapping and raping a woman, who escaped, in 2004.
Renner also brings up another twist: Ashley was known to frequent the McDonald’s on Lorain and the area where Georgina DeJesus and Amanda Berry went missing. Also, Berry’s family got a call after Amanda disappeared, from a man who said she was alive and safe. Ashley’s family received a similar call after she disappeared. Could all three disappearances be linked?
If you have any information on Ashley’s whereabouts, please contact the Cleveland Fugitive Task Force at 216-522-1400, the Cleveland Police Department’s First District at 216-623-5118, the FBI Cleveland Field Office at 216-522-1400, or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 800-THE-LOST. A reward is available.

Bands touring Philly: BE CAREFUL!
The other night my good friends in Kill Hannah got their van and trailer stolen out of their hotel parking lot in Philly. In the van was all of their gear, merch, and personal belongings. Now, stuff like this happens, and it’s totally devastating to the bands it happens to, but this situation is a little different… Last week, AT THE SAME HOTEL, the band Mae also had their van and trailer stolen. And apparently there have been numerous cases of stolen vans and trailers in the Philadelphia area, specifically at this particular hotel, in the past year. The hotel is the Holiday Inn on the 900 block of Packer Ave near the stadium. The band suspects that the Holiday Inn employees may be involved, as they were extremely unhelpful and uncooperative when the band reported their loss.
Any bands touring Philadelphia at the moment should be extremely careful and keep an eye on their vans and trailers. There is clearly a crime ring involved in stealing bands’ gear in the area! God forbid this happens to anyone else… :(
