In January 1990, 19-year-old Ashley Reed was new to Dallas, Texas, having moved there only months before with her mom and young brother. Making new friends wasn’t difficult for Ashley, but it was winter and the process going a little slower than it would in summertime, perhaps. On the 13th, she was thrilled when she called her mother to tell her a man had asked her on a date. The man’s name was Robert, and he was a cowboy type. Robert was tall and handsome to boot. He was also the last person to see Ashley Reed, who disappeared that night, never having called her mother to check in as promised. When the body of a Waco woman was found in a Southeast Dallas County Gravel pit 2 years later, many began theorizing a serial killer was responsible for Ashley’s disappearance.
