Optimists have a tendency to see the best in people, sometimes to their own detriment. According to Healthline, an individual’s calling to fix other peoples’ problems is referred to by psychologists as a savior complex or white knight syndrome. A savior complex would explain the unlikely friendship between Ashley Young and her friend who had a troubling past. Ashley often saw the best in people and believed her positive influence could potentially set someone on the right path. Unfortunately, Ashley’s unwavering loyalty put her in grave danger. After detectives made a gruesome discovery and conducted forensic tests, a parent’s worst nightmare came true. Ashley Young had been murdered and the killer may have had help from an unlikely source. To this day, Ashley’s family still do not have all the answers they crave and deserve. Check us out: Visit Murderish.com for more info about the show and Creator/Host, Jami.
