Amber Dubois was last seen on February 13, 2009. She disappeared around 7 a.m. about a block away from Escondido High School. One year later her remains were found near Pala. In late February of ‘10, Poway teenager Chelsea King went missing around the Lake Hodges area. Police launched an extensive search for the missing girl. Days later her body was found around the southern edge of the lake.

John Garder, a local sex offender, was later charged with rape and murder in Chelsea’s death. Many people wondered if Gardner lead investigators to the Pala location after working out a deal with prosecutors but Escondido police would not answer questions after the major developments occurred on Sunday after finding the remains of Dubois explaining that it was an ongoing investigation.

Ambers parents approached the podium but only her father spoke. He thanked supporters and searchers after the discovery was made on Sunday. Ambers mother was described as “absolutely crushed.” She always had hope that Amber would be found alive.

A vigil is planned for Monday night to remember Amber Dubois at 6:30 pm at Escondido High School.
