The fact that her vehicle was abandoned worries me. I wonder if she frequented the community center and that's the reason her car was there?

That worries me as well. I don't know Williamston well, but I live around half an hour away. I will be there Sunday for a Thanksgiving gathering... if she is still missing I will see what I can do to help.

It doesn't look good if they found her glasses, anyone who can't see without glasses or contacts know how that goes..
Why was her family having to search? LE should have been out there to, god forbid some evidence was moved, disturbed, on went unnoticed..
My prayers for her family

From the map it looks like Cherokee Rd leads to a hwy of some sort, whoever took A'sha and her car, looks like at some point they tossed out her shoes, wallet, glasses, cds on the roadside before entering a hwy 29.
Either they did something with her before they got to Hwy 29 and she is nearby still,
or
they took her with them. It would be easier to keep her "under control" without her glasses on to see, shoes to run away with, and her wallet which may contain money or id.
So either someone wanted to lesson the chance of her running away from them, or they already "rid" of her somewhere.
There does exist a possibility that she ran away herself with the help of someone, either having spare glasses or contacts, and ditched her own items to make it look like foul play.

A'sha has been found deceased....
http://www.wyff4.com/news/21676886/detail.html
*snipped* (barely)
WILLIAMSTON, S.C. -- A community search effort was called off on Friday after a missing 17-year-old girl was found dead.
More
A'sha Rucker was last seen Wednesday morning at her home on Crescent Drive in Williamston, according to police. Her car was found later that day, after workers at Williamston's Caroline Community Center, located at 1 School St., reported an abandoned vehicle in the parking lot.
The Greenville County Coroner's Office confirmed Friday night that Rucker's body was found in Pelzer. Coroner Scott Ramsey said her body was found 40 yards from the road, near an abandoned house on Long Cane Road.
Rucker's mother, LaVette, found several pieces of her daughter's purse, glasses, wallets and keys along the side of Cherokee Road in Williamston Friday morning.
Ruckersaid the disappearance is completely out of character for her daughter. She also said she believes that something has happened to her.
"Something is wrong," she said. "A'sha has got to be found, because she is in danger (and) I'm not going to leave her out there waiting and wondering when her mom is going to come."
The organized search for Rucker began on Friday morning along Ida Tucker Road and Cherokee Road in Williamston.
Anderson County Council Member Gracie Floyd joined a group of concerned citizens looking for the teenager. They handed out fliers to passersby.
"As a mother, myself, this scared me," Floyd said. "My heart had just went out to her, so I gathered some of my friends and we came up here to help her look."
Police have checked Rucker’s cell phone records and found that messages were being retrieved.

Here's a map........it's 8.2 miles from where A'sha's rental car were found to the location where her body was discovered.
I believe this is the abandoned house where A'sha's body was discovered. Her body was reportedly discovered at an abandoned house, approximately 40 yards off the road, in the adjacent woods. This is the only house I can find on the street that looks to fit that description.

http://www.wyff4.com/news/21676886/detail.html
Somebody was checking her phone, did they think maybe she knew something about something they didn't want her to? That's odd.. I hope they were pinging her phone to trace it while whoever was checking her messages.

yeah, i think you are probably right. if someone was checking the messages on her phone they would have to know her pin#, i guess maybe she told him/her. maybe a boyfriend? dont remember seeing mention of a boyfriend...or a guys ticked off girlfriend, no mention of that either...hmmm...
her poor mother what a nightmare, prayers for her & her family.

This is odd. An autopsy was performed yesterday and was deemed inconclusive. They said shortly after they found her that there were no outward signs of trauma but I surely didn't expect this...
http://www.wyff4.com/news/21676886/detail.html
*snipped*
The deputy coroner told News 4 earlier Friday that the body was found face down on the ground with a hood pulled over the girl's head.
"I say it's just kind of hard to believe, that somebody that you just saw and somebody you normally see on a regular basis just all of a sudden isn't there anymore," said the victim's friend, Darius Simmons.
Deputies said there were no obvious visible signs of trauma. An autopsy was completed Saturday, but a cause of death remained undetermined. The deputy coroner said they will have to wait until toxicology tests come in to determine a cause of death, which could take several weeks. Authorities said the case is being handled as a homicide.

How strange in that there is no outward sign of trauma but they are still looking at it as a homicide. How can that be?

Have the toxicology reports come in? (ETA: Just realized today is Sunday, so it'll likely be a few days.)
Also, it would felony murder if she died of anything while being kidnapped - like an asthma attack triggered by the stress, etc.

Toxicology results hopefully will tell something.
Is it known if she did have a history with asthma? Sometimes the family notes that on the missing reports, she made need an inhaler and or medication?
No outward signs of trauma..
Maybe a poisoning or some sort, possibly look at female friends, sometimes females don't want to get their "hands dirty" and use poisoning as a means to commit homicide.
Also could it be possible that some type of physical ailment killed her? If it was instigated or happened while she was doing something with someone they weren't supposed to be doing such as drugs, what if the friend was scared and ditched her body and staged the scene, thinking they would be held responsible for her dying thinking it was drugs..?
Just throwing different scenarios out there..
