That photo was found in a shed near where Asha went missing. (1)
The shed was that of an Upholstery business. The photo was found near items supposedly Asha’s: specific pencil, green marker and Mickey Mouse hair bow. (2)
To quote the article:
”Debbie Turner owns the shed, which is filled with furniture and supplies for the business. She found the items near the door of the shed Tuesday morning next to a tractor, but said she didn't think that they might help the investigation until police came by Thursday and asked her to search through the property.
"I know that the stuff shouldn't have been there," Mrs. Turner said, "But we live so far south of where the girl lived that I never thought it might be hers. I just hope this helps find her, and I'm happy that it gives hope to everyone looking for her."
Mrs. Turner said she also found a wallet-sized picture of a little girl near the pencil and marker and bow”
So a shed filled with furniture to be upholsterEd has small items lying around which are perfect size to find in couch crevices. This is also in a non metropolitan area, in 2000, where internet shopping had not taken off, thus probably limiting options for marker and hair bow to what was locally available.
