Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, executed multiple search warrants at several properties in Cleveland County, officials confirmed.
The FBI said it was assisting the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office and SBI with an investigation at multiple properties in Shelby. The FBI hasn't released further details about the investigation other than saying the search warrants aren't available to the public.
A towing company based in Kings Mountain told WCNC Charlotte that it towed an older, green car from one of the properties being searched. The company didn't have any more information about the vehicle or the investigation. A neighbor shared a photo of the car being towed with WCNC Charlotte.
The vehicle was similar to a car the FBI was looking for in connection with the disappearance of Asha Degree, a 9-year-old Shelby girl who left her family's home in Shelby on Valentine's Day in 2000. Tipsters told the FBI they saw her getting into a green 1970s Ford Thunderbird or Lincoln Mark IV on the night she disappeared. Detectives haven't said if the vehicle towed from the house was connected to the Asha Degree investigation, but Cleveland County officials said in May that they were making "significant progress" in the case.
