( NewsNation) — Twenty-five years after 9-year-old Asha Degree disappeared in the early morning hours of Valentine’s Day, her family is still seeking answers and hoping new leads will give them closure.

Asha Degree, by all accounts, was a timid 9-year-old who had a knack for basketball and never opened the front door without permission. Few people outside of friends and family knew more than that. But the grip her mysterious Valentine’s Day disappearance had on her small North Carolina community and beyond remains strong after 25 years.
