One thing that stood out to be about O'Bryant's latest interview with the crack house chronicles podcast...
When he was asked if Asha had run away before, he didn't give a straight answer; instead, he went on Asha being a very heavy sleeper, implying (in my opinion) that she had never woken up in the middle of the night before. But he didn't say whether Asha had ever left her house before or not. This could mean nothing, maybe O'Bryant got sidetracked or didn't want to give an answer, but it stood out as odd to mean. Perhaps, O'Bryant did not want to say that Asha had in fact run away before. This could be the reason why law enforcement assumed she left her house of her own accord from the get go and never suspected the parents.
