The body has been confirmed as that of Ashton Glover. *sigh* Very sad. Her father did the ID and just spoke on TV, broken up.
Ironically, TX EquuSearch had just mapped out the precise area for their search when LE had to block them away from the site because of the discovery by the construction people.
There will be a press conference in about 30 minutes and I'll update. Thank you for your interest.
Press conference wrap-up on the local evening news
Ashton's father on camera, crying, saying he hopes whoever did this gets what he deserves
.Body was buried 2 feet under ground
.5 miles east of where Ashton was last seen
.Milton Wright, Ft Bend County sheriff is making the announcement
.Clothing description and class ring only for ID at this time
.No suspects
.Video surveillance tape from "It's a Grind" coffee house being analyzed because Ashton was seen on it outside, earlier in the evening on Friday night with friends, out by her truck, going to a white Toyota pick-up and getting in with a lone male
.Father Terry Glover has a msg for killer - "I don't know why you did it, but I hope that later in life, you realize what you have done. It takes a messed-up individual to do something like this. I hope you get what you deserve."
.Family has a lot of family members in town and is getting lots of support. Her mother wasn't shown in the clips tonight. [Aside: I got the feeling yesterday when she was speaking out for Ashton to come home or be brought home that she was perhaps medicated - by a doctor, I mean - for her anxiety. She was calmer than her temperament appears that her demeanor would be. I imagine she fell apart over this news. She looks very much like the late Patsy Ramsey, which was why this case caught my eye. Her daughter looked a lot like her, except a fuller face.]
.First Colony Methodist Church in First Colony - candlelight ceremony tonight there at 10PM - this is her home church.
.Investigators are going over the maroon Ford Ranger found elsewhere, for possible evidence.
