15 Year-Old Ashton Stevens is Missing

Ashton Stevens

A fifteen-year-old boy is missing tonight and his parents say they have more questions than answers.  Ashton Emmanuel Stevens was at the Rockville Booth Camp on Monday when he disappeared. His family says that he was last seen playing basketball around four-thirty that afternoon, but by fifteen minutes later he couldn’t be located. According to the family, Ashton’s personal belongings are inside his room and nothing was taken.  A search of his Facebook account also showed that he has been inactive since the middle for the past ten days. They say that while they have no reason to believe that he ran away, they are unable to draw any conclusions as to his whereabouts. Ashton was enrolled in a ten-month programme with the CRD since August of last year. News Five understands that Ashton had reported an incident of physical abuse at the hands of an officer at the programme. But officials had requested for it to be dealt with internally, so no police report was made. When we asked the family about the incident, they report that Ashton had complained about feeling targeted after he had made that report, but at this point, they don’t want to correlate his disappearance with that incident. Family and friends will conduct a search for the teenager in the vicinity of the camp. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Ashton Stevens, you are asked to call 9-1-1 or the nearest police station. We’ll keep following this story.
