Carl has found a very promising match & has submitted to LE.

I profiled this case at my website. I'm surprised that Ashley Reed didn't match #UP14762. In researching this case in the newspaper coverage from the time, websleuths should be aware of three points that aren't in her NamUs profile at time of writing:

• According to journalism I uncovered in 1990, one of the men that Reed was meeting at the pancake house was named "Robert"
• According to another article I found in 1992, the other man was named "Dave"
• This same 1992 article indicated that Reed's car was found with a dead battery; when the battery was recharged it was discovered that her hazard lights were on.

Details of Disappearance
Reed planned to meet two unidentified males for dinner during the evening of January 14, 1990 near her hometown of Garland, Texas. She was supposed to meet the men, who were known to her family only as Dave and Robert, at the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant at Interstate 635 and Military Parkway in Dallas, Texas. She mentioned she might travel to Corsicana, Texas with friends and would call home when she arrived.

The two men Reed planned to meet that night have never been identified. A witness reported seeing Reed at the IHOP talking to a man. He's described as Caucasian, about 6'0, and 175 to 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a clean, neat appearance and wore a beige Western-style jacket with elbow patches, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Reed has never been heard from again.

Her brown 1984 Chevrolet Citation was found abandoned the following morning on the freeway ramp at Military Parkway and LBJ Freeway; the hazard lights had been left blinking and the battery had died by the time the car was located. The ramp was approximately one-quarter mile from the restaurant she planned to visit the night before. The vehicle's driver's seat was pushed all the way forward, the way Reed normally kept it, and her purse and keys were missing.

Two fishermen reported finding Reed's purse in a water-filled gravel pit near the Trinity River and Bois d'Arc Road. They said they'd looked inside the purse and seen papers with Reed's name on them, and they told the police. When the police went to the pit to retrieve the purse, however, they couldn't find it.

Reed is a former student at Harding High School in Minnesota. She was an honor student, president of the student council, and a cheerleader, and was on the school's newspaper and integration committee. She had planned to enroll in the University of Minnesota at St. Cloud to study pre-law, but changed her plans and moved to Texas with her mother and brother in October 1989. She had taken a job at JoJo's Restaurant in Addison, Texas.

Authorities believe she was taken against her will, and foul play is suspected in her case.

Wow...I hope they find her and bring her to rest

Kenneth Mcduff is a strong possibility for this one in my opinion.

There were not two men, only the man identifying himself as "Robert". The confusion comes because one book written about the case uses the pseudonymn "Dave" for Robert.

Finally found the police sketch that the police did in 1990. Anyone recognize Robert?

Dallas PD - Cold Case Tuesday - Ashley Reed

2/14/23

The Dallas Police Department continues to investigate the 1990 Missing Person case of 19-year-old Ashley Reed. Ms. Reed was reported missing on January 15, 1990.
Ms. Reed was last seen by a family member on January 14, 1990. Her car was found abandoned on the service road of 635 at Military Parkway on January 15, 1990. Ms. Reed has never been found.
Anyone with information on the disappearance of Ms. Ashley Reed is to contact Sergeant Jerry Girdler by email at coldcase@dallaspolice.gov or by phone at 214-671-3584. Please refer to case number 032732-Y.

I have the impression that she perhaps committed some crime, perhaps a robbery, or seduced someone to get money, sent by these two men, Dave and Robert, and that after they got what they wanted, they killed her, they violently took her out of her car, perhaps they were following her. they crossed her and put her in another car... pretty young and kind girl... I don't think she's still alive... I hope that one day everything will be resolved
rest in peace
