ESCONDIDO: Police chief's statement

I certainly had hoped that when the day came to do a press conference about Amber it would be under much different circumstances, but that was not to be.

With me today is Sheriff Bill Gore, FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Keith Slotter and Amber's parents, Moe and Carrie.

Through information developed in the course of the Amber Dubois investigation, human skeletal remains have been positively identified as being those of our missing 14-year-old Amber.

The discovery was made in the early morning hours of Saturday in a very rugged and remote area of Pala, which is in northern San Diego County.

Escondido police and sheriff's homicide detectives were following a lead in the case when they made this discovery.

Positive identification was subsequently made by the San Diego County medical examiner late Saturday afternoon by way of a dental records comparison. The parents were notified in person by Escondido and Sheriff's investigators Saturday night.

I know this will be disappointing to all of you, but I cannot take questions today. This is an ongoing murder investigation and any details, no matter how slight, would be inappropriate to reveal at this point in time.

Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher

A letter from Sheila Welch, Amber's grandmother

IN MEMORY OF AMBER LEEANNE DUBOIS

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2

Amber was joyfully received into her loving family at 2:46 p.m. on October 25, 1994 in Lakewood, California. She was taken from her family on February 13, 2009 while on her way to high school in Escondido, California. She was 14 years old. After a search of more than a year for her, her remains have been found. She was murdered by a person yet unknown.

Amber’s family expresses everlasting gratitude to the multitude of persons who have dedicated their time, resources, prayers and efforts into the year long search. So many of you have gone from strangers to friends during this time. We so wish that you had been able to meet our Amber and discover for yourself what an extraordinary young woman she was.

Having gone to Christian schools for most of her life, Amber weekly learned Bible verses and kept the words in her heart. She had a deep love of God, family, friends and animals. Her loss dims life as we know it and words cannot express the depth of our anguish. Forever we will treasure the goodness, joy, humor and love she brought into our lives in abundance. But, as the Scriptures tell us, "...the greatest of these is love." I Corinthians 13:13

Beloved Amber. You will forever be in our hearts as a flame of love that burns eternal.

Grandma
