Hoaxes and Urban Legends: Ashley Flores, 13, gone missing
Whenever you receive an email that urges you to immediately forward that mail to everyone you know, there is a very good chance the email is a hoax. Please take the time to verify the message by doing a Google search before you send it on to anyone else. In most cases when you take an arbitrary sentence from the message and google for it you'll end up with many hoax warning pages as the result.There is no evidence that this chain letter is genuine. It is missing the most elementary details needed to locate the missing person, such as exactly what date or where she was last seen. The hoax appears to be based on the "Penny Brown" hoax, which uses almost identical wording. Do not forward this email, notify the person who sent it to you that this is a hoax. The most recent version is about a 15 year old by name of "Evan Trembley", otherwise it's the same hoax.
