The young lady that was supposedly abducted, and held hostage for two days refuses to cooperate with police. Ashley Dawn Ivy of Hernando, is unable to be contacted by authorities. Every minute you don't follow up on leads. Makes it harder and harder to solve the case. Especially an abduction and a rape. If there really was a case to begin with. She said on a news interview that she escaped out of a bedroom window. That she was afraid to say anything, because the abductors knew where she lived? As if she knew who her abductors were. There hasn't been much news coverage on the outcome of this case. Could this have something to do with the young ladies race?
The Horn Lake police didn't seem to put much stock in what she said. Neither did the district attorney. Their main concern seems to be the ransom request. Her mother Bonnie Ivy seemed to believe her daughter though. I don't mean to cast dispersions, but the mother looks shady too. I can't help but wonder, is this the first time this has happened? In a way I feel sorry for the mother. I think is the result, of what was meant to be a scam for her. That got seriously out of hand.

But officers probing ransom call to family

When Horn Lake police found Ashley Dawn Ivy in the back room of a house on Smallwood Cove on Monday night, the police report says the Hernando teen told officers: "Oh, I didn't even know I was reported missing."
But she had been.
Authorities had been frantically seeking the teen, fearing for her safety, since Sunday. She was found about 10:30 p.m. Monday after someone in the house where she was found saw her on a television news report and called DeSoto CrimeStoppers.
Conflicting stories made it difficult Tuesday to sort out exactly what really happened to Ivy, who turned 17 Tuesday. No charges have been filed.
The girl's family called the Hernando Police Department Sunday after the teen didn't make it home Saturday. Her family allegedly received two ransom calls Sunday that claimed Ashley had been abducted and sexually assaulted. The callers reportedly demanded money for her return.
With the teen safely home, authorities no longer believe that she was abducted or assaulted but are still investigating to find out who made the ransom calls.
"She left on her own," Dist. Atty. John Champion said. "She was not abducted. This was not a kidnapping at all."
Her mother, Bonnie Ivy, Tuesday reiterated her belief in her daughter's account, however.
"Well, I know differently, OK?" Ivy said Tuesday in reference to Champion's remarks.
Ashley, who is expected to appear before Judge Mills Barbee in DeSoto County Youth Court soon, wasn't available when contacted for an interview Tuesday. But in a televised interview, Ashley said she was abducted, held at gunpoint and escaped out the window where she was held captive.
The account contradicts the detailed account from the Horn Lake Police Department, which sent three officers to 5409 Smallwood Cove within seconds after receiving a tip from DeSoto County CrimeStoppers that Ashley was there Monday night.
Capt. Shannon Beshears of the Horn Lake Police Department said the call came in 15 seconds after 10:20 p.m. Sgt. Kevin Thomas and Patrolmen Johnny Gammon and Bradley Kerr were at the house 12 seconds later, he said.
"We went directly to the house, knocked on the door and asked the homeowner if Ashley was there," said Beshears, adding that at 10:20:55 the officers confirmed that she was there with an unidentified male subject. Hernando police were contacted at 10:21:08.
"We were told that she was in a back room of the house. We got permission to enter the house, went to the back room indicated and knocked on the door," Beshears said.
"Her initial response to us was, 'Oh, I didn't even know I was reported missing.' She said nothing to our officers about having been kidnapped or about anything else that might have happened to her.
"We told her to get her things together. We remained at the scene until Hernando police arrived and then she was turned over to Hernando officers."
It's unclear where Ashley had been from Saturday afternoon -- when she called her mother at 3:51 p.m. to say she was going to the Fred's Store in Hernando to buy Christmas lights -- until her appearance in Horn Lake.
Authorities still have not recovered the 1994 Toyota Camry she was driving. The car belonged to her boyfriend.
Champion said his office would have no further interest in the case, except for the ransom demand made to Ivy's family. A money drop was made as directed Monday morning at Fred's in Hernando, but no one showed up.
"That's a serious issue," Champion said. "We're following up on all of that."

DeSoto County deputies seized boxes of videos and photographs of young girls posing nude from a farmhouse in western DeSoto County on Friday afternoon, including photos of a Hernando teen whose disappearance sparked an intensive search early this week.
Charged late Friday were Stephen C. Cooper, 36, with dissemination of sexually oriented material of a minor and Danny Wayne Moore, 48, with sexual battery. Both lived in the home. They are being held at the DeSoto County Jail in Hernando on $100,000 bond each.
Other charges are pending.
Investigators acting on a warrant also found whips, chains and handcuffs during a search that lasted more than four hours, as well as Xanax, marijuana and cocaine residue.
"This is going to turn into a fireball," said Cmdr. Mark Blackson, chief of detectives for the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department.
"We have boxes of videos we have not yet reviewed; we have rolls of undeveloped film ... and we have two computers that have not been checked to see what they might contain," Blackson said.
The search and seizures ended a week that began with a search for Ashley Dawn Ivy, a Hernando girl reported missing Sunday after she failed to return home from shopping Saturday afternoon.
Ashley, who turned 17 on Tuesday, was found at a Horn Lake home Monday night, where authorities said Friday she went voluntarily.
Blackson said Friday's search warrant was obtained because of cooperation from Ashley, who told police that she was given Xanax and then photographed nude at the house.
The house -- where Friday's search by six deputies, including two from the county's Metro Narcotics Squad, sparked curious looks and questions from passersby -- is at 6847 Old Miss. 301.
"She (Ashley) definitely was in that house," Blackson said. "We found photographs of her that had been taken in the house."
Officers also found photographs of another DeSoto County girl who complained in 2004 that she had been photographed nude at the house.
Blackson said investigators had questioned one of the two men taken into "investigative detention" at the house Friday in connection with the 2004 investigation, but he said there was never enough evidence to seek a search warrant.
He said Ashley went to the house voluntarily, and he could not establish that Ashley and the 16-year-old were forced to pose for the photos.
He said both girls said they were given drugs and then photographed.
"The drugs may have clouded their judgment," Blackson said. "It's a question for our district attorney and the grand jury whether the use of the drugs would have constituted force."
Investigators seized two video cameras, two 35-mm cameras and one digital camera.
Friday's search also turned up hundreds of photographs of "dozens of girls" Blackson could not identify.
He said the Internet may have been used to transmit the photographs and videos, but Blackson was careful to avoid using the word "pornography," saying at one point that "there is a thin line between pornography and art."
"We're going to have to haul all of this back to the Sheriff's Department, sit down and start going through it. We have nude photos, but I would not want to categorize them now," he said.
Federal investigators will be brought into the case if investigators can establish that the Internet was used to transmit pornographic photographs or if any of the photographs or videos were sent through the mail.
Meanwhile, the 1994 Toyota Camry that Ashley was driving Saturday was recovered early Thursday, Hernando Police Lt. Russell Perry said Friday.
Perry said the car has since been returned to its owner, who has only been identified as Ashley's boyfriend. The car, police have said, is registered to the boyfriend's ex-wife.
