My Wife's Niece is Missing!

Hi all just a quick report. I was down at her parents house yesterday and really have nothing new to report. There was a student at the middle school who said she saw Amber walking on the grounds of the middle school on Sunday and police searched the neighborhoods surrounding it but nothing turned up. The problem with the holiday weekend meant these leads were all two days old when they were reported. The student didn't know Amber had been reported missing and only heard about it yesterday. Using dogs and such was wiped out due the 2 inches of rain the area received over Monday and Tuesday. You can find links now to the news updates on her website here (they are at the bottom) They have as much info as the family does and they post it fairly quickly.:

Thanks for your continued support.  It is very much appreciated.

Any word today on this? I am still hoping that she just took off with a friend for Mexico and can't get back or call.

Thanks again for the contiuned support.  There is no new news yet. The parents were doing a press conference today and i would suggest you check the links on Amber's Website for media updates in the next few hours.  Right now this is the best source of information.

Here is everything i know at this point.

The nature of the search is to eliminate things. They still list Amber as an endangered runaway. Until they change that status the FBI will monitor but not directly get involved. They thought from the few leads they had that she was in a certain area. They have determined she is not in that area and are calling off the search. They also have eliminated the parents and the mothers live in boyfriend as suspects. They all took and passed lie detector tests. They are searching all the computers in hopes Amber may have left an online clue. Her cellphone was used before she left the house on Friday to text her grandmother and one friend. None of the texts were suspicious. She turned her cell phone off after the last text. It was turned on briefly on Saturday for a few seconds and someone tried to unsuccessfully access the voicemail. It was turned off and has not been turned on since. (This is the main reason the police thought she was still in the area. The ping they got narrowed it to 5 mile radius. It wasn't on long enough to get an exact location. It could have been her because her mother had changed the password on the voicemail trying to determine if she had listened to any)

The local poilice are looking to organize other searches in the foothills around the city. It is at this point they need to change it to possible kidnapping instead of runaway to escalate this to another level. That is what we are waiting for. Everyone in the family has known all along this was an abduction because this is just not like Amber at all.

Please continue to forward this to your contacts and ask them to do the same.  It is encouraging to note that Amber's site has had almost 30,000 hits in just 5 days. This hasn't even been broken by the national news yet either.  The more people that see this then the better chance somone who knows something can come forward.

Thanks for your continued effort and support. The whole family thanks you.

if I had any social contacts I'd be passing the word... 

we are praying  for her prompt return Brian .  I can't imagine what this like for your family... it's sad that anyone should ever know what it is like.

Her folks must be frantic.
Here's hoping that there's a happy outcome and soon.

Thanks Tony and Jean and Friede too.  You just never know who someone might know who knows something. At this point if Amber were abducted she could be anywhere. So we are just trying to raise the awareness everywhere.  National media has been slow comming around. Lots of local TV and Press though and her website now has almost 35,000 hits.

Hi All:

same here Stacy... a big set of huggies from Raff and I

Very sorry to hear about this.  My thoughts are with you two, Amber and her parents.  I hope for her safe return.
