Biography: Rita Ashbury, found the body
 

Rita Ashbury was born July 2, 1975 in Batesville, Mississippi to William and Helen Ashbury. The Ashburys' then-two-year-old daughter, Linda, was very pleased to have a little sister to play with and often told people that Rita was "her baby."

Rita was an outgoing and helpful child, and always had a lot of friends growing up. She was a solid B-student in school and served as Secretary/Treasurer in several school clubs. After high school, Rita got a job with a temporary staffing agency, where she was sent out on temporary secretary/receptionist assignments for many local businesses. She soon became a favorite with the clients and they often requested her when they needed temporary help.

In 1997, Rita was sent on an assignment to Blaze Art and Media, an advertising firm that needed a receptionist to fill in for a few days. The people at Blaze liked her so much that they kept her on as an administrative assistant after their regular receptionist returned, and eventually hired her as a permanent employee. Rita's organizational skills and attention to detail made her an excellent fit as an administrative assistant in the busy, growing firm. In 2000, Rita was promoted to Office Manager and still holds that position today.

Rita lives in Oxford with her sister, Linda, and hopes one day to marry and have a family.
