Origins:   This plea to help locate a 14-year-old girl named Ashley Lewis who went missing on New Year's Eve in 2009 began circulating via e-mail, cell phone text message, and Facebook postings in January 2010, with some versions adding the detail that the girl was "Missing from Kannapilos [sic] NC." We contacted the Kannapolis, North Carolina, police department by telephone on 5 January 2010 and were told by a representative that Ashley had since been located.

Confusingly, at about the same time as Kannapolis' Ashley Lewis went missing, another teenaged girl named Ashley Lewis was reported missing in Oregon's Jackson County (but also has since been found), and a third teenaged girl named Ashley Lewis has been missing from Decatur, Illinois, since October 2009.)
