9-year-old Asha Degree and her brother are sent to bed around 7pm, just an hour earlier than normal, when the family home loses power. Dad Harold checks on his children when gets home from work at midnight. When mom Iquilla goes to wait up the children, Asha is gone. The parents, Iquilla and Harold Degree tear their home apart, looking for Asha Iquilla then knocks on a neighbor’s door, and calls Harold’s mom and sister. No one has seen Asha.

Harold Degree calls 911 at 6:30 am. Police arrive just 10 minutes later. By 8 am, nearly 100 volunteers are going door to door, and performing grid searches for Asha. Police believe the 4th grader left home just before dawn. Witnesses saw Asha walking along Highway 18 in Shelby, North Carolina, a few miles of her home. A tipster reported she possibly got into a car.

More than a year later, Asha's backpack, which she had apparently packed with her favorite outfits, turned up at a construction site 30 miles away. That was 24 years ago. The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office has now confirmed that a search at 621 Cherryville Rd is connected to Asha Degree. Nearly 50 investigators with the Cleveland County Sheriffs, the FBI's Evidence Response Team, and North Carolina SBI agents spend two days at the property with K9s, and multiple items of interest are seized for testing including a green four door sedan with rust in the wheel wells, extremely similar to the car the FBI has been looking for.

Hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is behind bars and in court following his arrest late Monday in Manhattan.

A federal grand jury indicted Combs on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.

Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, stated at a press conference that prosecutors will seek to detain Combs without bail. Williams indicated that the investigation is ongoing, saying, "We are not done," and did not rule out additional charges against Combs or others.

In a detention memo filed with the court, prosecutors described Combs as “a serious risk of flight,” “a significant risk of obstructing justice,” and “a danger to the community.”

The memo details Combs' alleged use of violence, threats, and coercion since at least 2008 to exert control. It claims that Combs and a co-conspirator kidnapped someone at gunpoint on December 22, 2011, to facilitate breaking into another person's residence, identified as Individual-1. Prosecutors expect testimony from “multiple witnesses” and police reports to support the allegations.
