Missing Girl Ashley Summers: 14-Year-Old Girl Who Went Missing In 2007 May Have Been Spotted At Rhode Island ATM

Missing Girl Ashley Summers - Authorities may have spotted a missing Cleveland girl, who was last seen on July 6, 2007, when she was 14.

According to FBI reports, a woman, who looked very much like the missing Ashley Summers, was photographed at a Warwick ATM surveillance in Rhode Island in October. The woman, who is suspected to be Summers, was seen alongside an unidentified man.

Investigators say Summers' step-grandmother called the cops after coming across the image online in January on the Rhode Island Most Wanted website. According to Summer's step-grandmother, the image of the woman being sought as a suspect in a series of identification thefts in Rhode Island and Massachusetts looks very much like Ashley when she was last seen eight years ago.

"This is an incredible lookalike," said Special Agent Vicki Anderson of the FBI Cleveland Division. "We've had other supposed lookalikes, but nothing that looked this similar. We consider this a huge tip for us."

She added that "There's nothing that tells us that it is her, but there's nothing telling us that it's not her either"

The FBI is calling on the public for leads about the Ashley's lookalike and her male companion because the license plate of the car was not captured in the ATM photo.

"The FBI is utilizing a billboard campaign, social media and any news outlet that will air these photos for us," Anderson said.

The new development is good news for the family of Ashley Summers, who would be 21-year-old now.

 In 2013, reports reveal that when authorities discovered Ariel Castro's house, which is just a few blocks away from where Ashley was last seen, the Summers hoped that their daughter would be among the three missing women rescued from Castro's Cleveland house.
