Asia Wilbon, 16: Last Seen Going To Bed At Home In 2020

The "homebody" teen was heard moving around the house in the early morning hours.

When Richard Wilbon said goodnight to his daughter, Asia Wilbon, right before he headed to bed, he did not expect that to be the last time he saw her. The father described his daughter as being a “homebody” and an “introvert,” so when he and his wife returned home from work to find Asia gone, they were confronted with confusion and concern.

Between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. on February 13, 2020, Asia was heard walking around the Kent, Washington, home, but it was believed that she was just using the restroom before returning to bed. It wasn’t discovered that Asia was missing until later in the afternoon, and immediately, calls and texts were sent to the teen. All went unanswered.

Investigators Jump Into Action

Asia was immediately reported as a missing person, and investigators tracked her smartphone. It was then that they learned the phone’s last ping was in Federal Way at 1:35 p.m. on February 13, about 15 to 20 minutes south of Kent. Police claimed that a witness stated they saw Asia near the Federal Way Transit Center. However, any other evidence to support the sighting was not found.
