No l never caught it on video, i'll try to do it at some point, she was grabbed as leon was half way up the ladder. I was thinking the timing of leon climbing the ladder could initiate the glitch.

You just keep hearing her shouting help Nyx, l was about to see if l could run through the door and through the barns, was just thinking without Ashley it may save a bit of time on speedruns, but that's when l couldn't do it anymore. I'll try it again tomorrow

Just came out of the church, went back to the village, ran straight up the tower ladder, and ashley was grabbed, l turned round jumped straight back down the ladder. Ashley and her assailant were nowhere to be seen so l just ran around the village for a few minutes, she hadn't been taken through the door towards the tunnels and second part of the village. I reset the game twice more both times it did it. But after that she got taken away each time. Just wondered if any of you other guys have experienced this glitch?

Any chance of age categories, l'm between 45 and 50 and my old fingers don't work like they used :). I joke of course. Great to be amongst some great re4 speed runners much respect to you all :)
