I'm getting lost. This stuff is complicated to keep track of.
What exactly is complicated? The sketch is from another case, not Amber's, and I would say it resembles Gardner.

Pala is at least 10-15 miles north of the Amber Lane Cell tower--so WTH with the phone in Escondido the next day?

If it was JAG, he might have been dumb enough to keep the phone and take it back home with him...turning it on the next day...
I keep thinking if JAG did make some kind of plea with LE and disclose Amber's location, it was because he knew they had direct evidence to link him to her disappearance..Could be her dna showed up on some item they recovered from the searches of his homes/car or what if it was that he still had that phone, clothing, the check or some other item of her's stashed away...just thinking out loud...
Somewhere last night I was reading that the ping was pinpointed to Pala's library!
The news tonight say that the remains were found inside the reservation. Would the dark-skinned teen walking with Amber be a native american?
The news also say that the remains were found due to a "tip."
Will find out more.
This is sad news, but at least is closure for the family.
I hope they crucify the perp.
Where did you read that the ping pointed to the library? I know the search dogs hit at the Pala library but I understood the ping was on Amber Lane in Escondido. When I first heard about the boy seen with Amber I thought he could be native american--but why would he being going to school in Escondido and not the reservation?

He and Amber's father said the girl sent several text messages to her grandmother and one to a friend before going to school Feb. 13. They said the messages did not provide information about her whereabouts or seem suspicious.
The girl's cell phone was shut off shortly after the messages were sent, Garcia added, noting police relayed information about the phone to the family. The phone was turned back on once on Saturday afternoon when someone tried unsuccessfully to access the phone's voicemail and then shut off again shortly after, they said, adding no further readings from the phone have been retrieved.
Garcia said the phone was not on long enough for authorities to determine specifically where it was. Escondido police were not available to comment on the matter.
Her cell phone was turned on once for about 20 seconds the day after she disappeared and has not been turned on since then, Escondido Police spokesman Lt. Bob Benton said.

- ~7:10AM - Amber went missing
- Night - Verizon Wireless reset the password on Amber's cell phone so Amber's frantic mother could access her daughter's cell phone voicemail to determine if Amber had listened to any messages
Sat, Feb 14, 2009
The phone has not been turned on again since then.
- The next day, Amber's cell phone was turned on for less than 30 seconds
- Someone attempted to check the phone's voice mail but couldn’t because the password had been reset (Notes: Amber’s father said #86 was dialed, but I think he meant *86?)
- The signal was picked up by a cell tower on Amber Lane in northern Escondido. The tower covers a five-mile radius, which means the phone could have been just about anywhere in Escondido
- Police issued an emergency alert phone call (reverse 911) to homes in the area asking whether anyone had seen Amber, but again, they found nothing

86'd -To get rid of, originally for killing someone. The phrase "80 miles out and 6 feet under" was reserved for someone who had to dig their own grave 80 miles from civilization and then get shot execution-style. All terms for 86'd originated from this, be it alcohol or eliminating.
* 86 is how you get to voicemail. Her father was trying to check her voicemail, therefore pressed *86.Respectfully bolded by me...
"86"...is 86 a voicemail code in San Diego? 86'd = to kill where I come from...wonder if it could have been meant as a cryptic message..."she's dead".

It's anyone's guess.
To me, IF someone found the phone... why would anyone want to access HER messages?
Why not use the found phone to make "free" personal calls? Or, just check her "contacts", out of curiosity maybe?
Why would anyone care what was in her voice mail?
It would be interesting to find out if the entered password that day was her real password (before it was changed.)
IF it was her using the phone, why did she give up in 30 seconds of trying to log into her voice mail? IF it was her, and she felt threatened, wouldn't she rather dial 911 instead of checking voice mail?
Did the perpetrator or a cohort of his leave a message for her before she was abducted?
