On the heels of the Chelsea King disappearance and death last week, the remains of Escondido teen Amber Dubois have been apparently found more than a year after she disappeared while walking to school.
According to a report by KGTV news, Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher said searchers found Amber's skeletal remains early Saturday on the Pala Indian Reservation, a sparsely populated area that occupies more than 12,000 acres in the northeast corner of San Diego County. The county medical examiner's office confirmed later in the day the remains were Amber's through dental records, Maher said.
The search for Amber Dubois had produced few leads until 17-year-old Chelsea King disappeared Feb. 25. John Albert Gardner III, 30, was arrested in connection with the King murder. Authorities resumed several searches for Dubois after King's body was found in a shallow grave at Lake Hodges.
