Ashley Schwamm

Could someone have run away from the crash and left Ashley inside the car?

Investigators' suspicions were growing and they weren't the only ones.

A few days after the crash, Ashley's big sister had a feeling she couldn't shake.

I knew something like really wasn't right.

And I didn't, I mean, I thought I literally was going crazy.

She said it was like Ashley was in her gut, screaming for her to do something.

On an impulse, Lindsay drove over to the police station and spoke to a detective.

I said, I just need you to find her phone.

I said, if you find her phone, then you'll find things on it.

You need to see like more like phone records.

then that will be, yeah, it's enough for me because then I know she was actually going.

I said, but if you can't, I said, it doesn't make sense why AJ would be hiking at that hour in the dark by herself because she was scared of her own shadow.

Detectives never found the phone, but they were able to access Ashley's hiking history.

She used a fitness tracking app called Strava.

And so we were able to look through her Strava accounts to find out when she would do her hikes.

One of the interesting things that did come out of her history was that she was never up at Craigleith Ski Club at 5.50 in the morning to go hiking at any time.

They could see that her hikes were always close to home and started after 7 a.m.

So it's not a smoking gun, but it sure does look suspicious.

It certainly does.

They needed to talk to James again.
