The case of the disappearance of Ashley Robinson has turned from a missing persons 
investigation into murder investigation. Ashley Robinson was a 23 year old pregnant, Indiana woman who went missing on February 12, 2007. Police now believe that Ashley Robinson was murdered. They have arrested five people in the murder as they continue to search for Ashley’s body.
Police are still searching for Robinson’s body. According to the affidavit filed in Jefferson County (Ind.) Circuit Court yesterday by Indiana State Police Detective Tom Baxter, the five suspects admitted they cooperated in a plan to lure Robinson to a location where she was struck with two blasts from a shotgun.
The affidavit does not state a motive for the killing.
The suspects are Brandon Skinner, 24; Donielle Sherley, 23; Michael Cory Bowling, 24; Brian Kemp, 27, and Carissa Miller, 18. (The Courier Journal)

The affidavit spells out the account of the murder as follows:
The suspects gathered at Kemp’s home where they decided that “Ashley should pay … so justice would be served,” according to the affidavit.
Sherley and Miller left the meeting, picked up Robinson at home and drove her to the designated location, with the men arriving in a separate vehicle, the document said.
Bowling then handed the shotgun, which had come from Kemp, to Skinner and left with Sherley and Miller, it said. Skinner shot Robinson twice with Kemp handing him the second shell between shots, according to the affidavit.
On Wednesday police searched the home of Kemp’s mother in New Washington and found a 20-gauge shotgun. Lewis said the gun is being tested to determine whether it was used in the crime. He declined to provide further details on what the suspects told investigators.
Sonia Kent said, “I don’t know what was going on” that would have led to the murder. Kent, who said she has guardianship of Robinson’s 4-year-old daughter, said Robinson last visited her in Madison on Jan. 4.
