Amber Leeanne Dubois
On February 13, 2009 at around 7:10 a.m., 14 year old Amber vanished on the way to her high school, Escondido High School in California. She was last seen wearing black jeans, black sneakers, and a black hoodie. She weighed 130 pounds, measured 5'5", and has blue eyes and short brown hair.
On February 26, 2010, 17 year-old Chelsea King never came home from a run at the Rancho Bernardo Community Park in Poway, California. DNA found on her clothing was run through the National DNA database and was identified as DNA belonging to John Gardner, a 30 year-old registered sex offender. Investigators found what they believe to be King's body in the area where she had gone running. Gardner was arrested in Escondido and is currently being charged with the murder of Chelsea King.
Police are currently investigating if Gardner is linked to the Amber Dubois case. Gardner's parole ended in 2008 and he lives in the area where Amber and Chelsea went missing.
