TRIGGER WARNING!
Ohio, Jackson Township- January 10, 2017:
Liang Zhao reported his five-year-old daughter Ashley Zhao missing.
He claimed that she slept in their restaurant in the afternoon and suddenly wasn't there any more. Zhao said that he picked up their older daughter from school and that his wife Ming Ming Chen was in the restaurant.
The police searched the entire outdoor area and used helicopters and tracker dogs. Shortly afterwards they got out that Ashley was still inside...
The little body was found hidden in a large salt container on the loft.
