The missing case of Lauria bible and Ashley freeman
On December 29.1999 local teenager Ashley Freeman turned 16. It was a night of celebration for her parents and for her best friend Lauria Bible. Lauria's father, Jay, recalled the last time he saw his daughter:"Lauria, she said to me, 'Daddy, is it all right if I spend the night with Ashley in the Freeman's' home?' I said, 'Well, just make sure you're home by noon tomorrow.' And, noon tomorrow didn't happen the way it should've."
some time that night, the freeman's house was on fire.by the time lauria's parents arrived,the fire was out. the police only found one body inside,which was Kathy freeman's(Ashley's mother). there was no sign of Ashley freeman, Danny freeman or lauria bible.
the case then became more baffling,when the police discovered that that Kathy didn't die in the fire,but by being shot on her forehead.The arson squad concluded that the blaze was deliberately set.
According to Lorene Bible, her daughter Lauria and Ashley had been best friends since kindergarten:
"Lauria and Ashley would call
each other at least once a week. What one was thinking, the other was
thinking. It's kind of like when two people, one can finish the sentence
when the other one starts one."
The day after the fire when laurias parents returned to the crime scene they made a shocking discovery,they found another body,which was almost burned beyond recognition..But it wasn't Lauria or Ashley.it was identified as Danny freeman.he too had been shot.
Investigators re-examined the crime scene and found no other bodies.
However, they did find one important clue: Lauria's purse. In it were
her driver's license and nearly $200 in cash. Lorene wondered why her
daughter would leave her purse, unless she had been abducted.
When the police weren't able to find the girls a person named Jeremy B. Jones, confessed to killing Danny and Kathy Freeman. He said
he did it as a favor to a friend over a drug debt. Jones claimed that he
took the two girls to Kansas, shot them, and threw their bodies into an
abandoned mine. A search of the mine, however, turned up nothing. Jones
then recanted his confession and denied he killed the girls. He said he
lied to authorities to get better food and extra phone privileges in
prison.
Till now,there have been no signs or sightings of the girls. now if they are alive,they would be 29 years old
