Ashley Young: “Where is She?”丨MURDERISH ...

About this episode

Optimists have a tendency to see the best in people, sometimes to their own detriment. According to

Healthline, an individual’s calling to fix other peoples’ problems is referred to by psychologists as a savior

complex or white knight syndrome. A savior complex would explain the unlikely friendship between

Ashley Young and her friend who had a troubling past. Ashley often saw the best in people and believed

her positive influence could potentially set someone on the right path. Unfortunately, Ashley’s unwavering

loyalty put her in grave danger. After detectives made a gruesome discovery and conducted forensic

tests, a parent’s worst nightmare came true. Ashley Young had been murdered and the killer may have

had help from an unlikely source. To this day, Ashley’s family still do not have all the answers they crave

and deserve.
