Major Development in Amber Dubois Case: Sources
Updated 2:14 PM PST, Sun, Mar 7, 2010

More than one year after the disappearance of Escondido teen Amber Dubois sources say there has been a major development in the case.
Investigators have scheduled a 3.30 p.m. news conference regarding Amber's case but would not reveal any other details. Amber was last seen walking on Feb. 13, 2009 with a man about 200 yards from Escondido High School. She was 14-years old at the time.
In late February, Poway teenager Chelsea King's disappearance launched an extensive search in the area around Lake Hodges with officers from multiple agencies. A body was found along the southern edge of the lake and a registered sex offender was charged with murder and rape in Chelsea's death. After the discovery of a body in the King search, the search for Amber intensified.
On Friday, law enforcement officers were in Kit Carson Park in Escondido following up on a tip that a group of children found a bag with hair inside. On Saturday, police drained the pond in the park for a second day of searching. Investigators found no clues, Lt. Craig Carter said.

It is unclear what information will be revealed at the press conference but reached by phone Dubois’ grandmother Sheila Welch said, “I am a very sad grandmother today,” She would not elaborate.
Investigators have been working to determine if John Albert Gardner, a 30-year-old registered sex offender who was arrested in connection with the murder of 17-year-old Chelsea King, may have also been connected to the Dubois case. Gardner was living about two miles away from the area where the girl vanished.

<snipped>
Just a day after the search of a pond at Escondido’s Kit Carson Park proved to be unfruitful in the search for missing teenager Amber Dubois, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Sunday called a news conference about the case.
There was no immediate indication of the nature of any announcement. The Sheriff’s Department has not had a major role in the Dubois case, as the girl disappeared in Escondido and the the Escondido Police Department has been the lead law enforcement agency investigating her disappearance
The search at Kit Carson Park stemmed from a tip received Thursday that last May, three girls found a black plastic bag and human hair at the edge of a pond, said Escondido police Lt. Craig Carter. Detectives found a bag Thursday night, but it contained only mud and debris, Carter said. It was given to the FBI to analyze.
