181. The Missing Girls: Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis

It is Jan. 9, 2002, in Oregon City, Oregon, 12-year-old Ashley Pond left her home to walk to the bus stop for Gardiner Middle School. Ashley was hurrying as she was going to be late and miss the bus stop located approximately 10 minutes from her home. Ashley was popular in school but what she loved most was dance. She was on the school’s dance team, The Fallen Angels. The team would be rehearsing that day for the big competition they had coming up. Since she was late, Ashley started running as she didn’t want to miss school. Little did her loved ones know, that she would never make it to the bus nor arrive at school. Ashley simply disappeared and she would not be the only one.Join Jen and Cam on this episode of ‘Our True Crime Podcast entitled The Missing Girls: Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis.Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHS Music and EP by @wetalkofdreams Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXnb_6jvg3chttps://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Miranda_Gaddis_and_Ashley_Pondhttps://pamplinmedia.com/pt/9-news/503896-402986-potential-news-for-convicted-murderers-in-weaver-familyhttps://www.californiabirthindex.org/birth/ward_f_weaver_born_1963_8641619https://thecinemaholic.com/ashley-pond-and-miranda-gaddis-murders-where-is-ward-weaver-now/https://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-city/2014/02/ward_weaver_iii_like_his_fathe.htmlhttp://thetribonline.com/news/story.php?story_id=26369http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jun/28/science/sci-weaver28https://www.cbsnews.com/news/step-by-step-in-oregon-killer-case/http://articles.latimes.com/2002/mar/14/news/mn-32788http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2216310.stmhttp://www.oregonlive.com/clackamascounty/index.ssf/2014/06/prosecutors_to_present_case_ag.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20110707161918/http://www.argusobserver.com/articles/2007/05/07/news/news03.txtO'Neal, Linda; Watson, Rick; Tennyson, Philip (2007).
