About this episode

The episode discusses the chilling case of Ashley Kline, who disappeared on New Year's Eve 2013 and was later found murdered.

On New Year's Eve 2013, 23-year-old Ashley Kline left her Robesonia, PA home to meet a friend — and never came home. While her best friend waited at a party and her father held onto hope, Ashley had vanished without a trace. What followed was a chilling investigation: scattered belongings in a snow-covered field, a Tinkerbell keychain pulled from a drained water tank, and a body found burned in a wildlife preserve 16 miles away. Ed and Melissa walk through every haunting detail... from the obsessive prison pen pal writing letters from behind bars, to the surveillance footage that cracked the case wide open. This case was submitted by listener Amy F., who grew up near Robesonia. Thank you, Amy. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of murder, sexual assault, and violence.
