Found Deceased AL - Amberly Barnett, 11, Mt. Vernon, DeKalb County, 1 Mar 2019

[TTF14]

When's the last time anyone besides aunt/uncle (?) saw her alive?

 

[MimosaMornings]

I am only aware of a younger brother and I haven’t seen it mentioned if any other children were at aunts house ?

A sister and brother were mentioned in the Heavy article. A sister was mentioned in one of the earlier posted MSM articles.

I think the home has a fence around it too? And dogs?

 

[MimosaMornings]

I wonder what precipitated the move? Someone knew she was alone. I just don’t see a random green van slowly driving up and down that county road. And she most likely was inside with her siblings watching them with adults not around.

It is definitely allowed.

Thanks!

I think I’m missing that bit completely, can you quote the sentance for me please? I only see there’s 2 children ‘2 smiling, smart, BEAUTIFUL love bugs ’ (from heavy article)

From what weve followed ( and the Heavy article supports) mom just recently moved to Georgia. We dont know exact reasons why >modsnip - referring to a family member’s personal FB posts<

Curious if the green SUV was an old aquaintence looking for mom and maybe Amberly was opportunistic revenge?

** not insinuating any fault of mom, just another possibility.

A lot of stress and tragedy in this family. I'm addition to Amberly's mother needing to leave her kids with other people, she had Amberly as a teenager, and her own mother was also murdered. I wonder if they caught the person responsible for that murder, and what the circumstances were?

https://heavy.com/news/2019/03/amberly-barnett/

From the above link:

“Amberly Barnett’s mother, Jonie Barnett, has posted about Amberly on Facebook. “My baby girl has now been missing for 15 hours from Collinsville/sandrock from my sister house,” she wrote before the child was found.

“We need all your help for finding her. We have no idea who or where she is at. She had on a blue hoodie with yellow stripes on the sleeves and dark blue skinny jeans with white converse. If any one has any information on who has my baby call 911…please don’t call me with wanting to know any updates. I love you all for your help and support but I am flipping out and going insane not know who has or where my little girl is…”

She added that she “made sure that we show our kids to fight back, Never leave without telling anyone and anyone who knows Amberly, knows she would not have left without telling me or my sister. She’s to scared to get into any trouble. She would never leave her cell phone behind. She will fight if anyone try to do anything to her. She Is the type that gets mad and leave. She will not quit fighting to get back home. Please help find my baby.”

She also wrote: “Her phone was left behind and my baby takes it everywhere. Nothing in her phone indicated she was planning to leave! My sis had went to the store while her brother in law who was outside working on the house next door/same land and drive way. Amberly is the type to not do anything that she will get in trouble for. She is so scared of anyone being mad at her or getting in trouble. She would not have ran away or make plans to go off somewhere. A Green SUV was seen leaving the driveway! Please share and call 911 if you see or hear of anything. Please help bring my baby girl home. I beg you please help me me and Josh Hackney find our baby girl.”

This is a really scary situation. I keep hoping for more info, and an update. But, right now I'm really dreading the details.

From what weve followed ( and the Heavy article supports) mom just recently moved to Georgia. We dont know exact reasons why however, you can put that puzzle together by following her social media.

** not insinuating any fault of mom.

Perhaps just weird humor, but there were comments about " everyone being in jail, etc. " It sounds as though the mom's life was rough, and she was struggling, so if you put that with HER mom having been murdered by "people who got away with it", it doesn't seem entirely out there to wonder if there was an ongoing feud or something weird and sinister going on.

“Her most recent post was a selfie from the day before she vanished. “So I may go to the mall today and get some new cloths,” she wrote. Another post discussed bullying. “Why do people lie to me and say oh your really pretty but a day latter they will turn there backs and tell other people that I’m ugly like what the heck ’ like if your agents (sic) bullying’” it read.“

So did she end up going to the mall the day before she vanished?

I was thinking the Aunt went shopping, but didn't take Amberly. i.e. Amberly was just posting about the mall on Insta to look cool, have something to share.

edited to explain: I'm getting a sad vibe from her account. She's a gorgeous girl, but I'm not sure she was accepted, etc. Recall the mention of another girl dancing with her at the Valentine dance to "make her smile", etc.

For reference:

“On February 24, 2019, Jonie, who had Amberly as a teenage mother, wrote: “Update: I have decided not to move my kids back this Monday to Georgia. I think that waiting until closer to the end of the school year so that it doesn’t mess up their grades and them end up being either ahead or behind if I was to move them with 3 Months left of school. #onlyDoingWhatIFeelIsBestForMyKids.” On February 8, she wrote on Facebook, “So everyone I know is either pregnant or going to jail or in jail and pregnant this year… Ummmmm am I missing something? What will I be?” On February 2, she wrote, “Me and my kids needs a place to go asap!”

Her page is filled with expressions of adoration for her children. “My babies is the only reason i will make it. God i live these 2 smiling, smart, BEAUTIFUL love bugs that i have the honor of calling my children,” she wrote in October 2018 along with a photo of Amberly and her brother. In one post, Jonie mentioned that her mother was murdered in 2011 and wrote “they got away with it.”“

I had read that it was A's mother's sister whose house she was staying at, and that it was the mother's sister's B-I-L who was working next door.

““CHS Class of 2009 is raising money in memory of our classmate’s daughter. All donations will go directly to the family of this sweet girl,” the page reads.“

yes I agree just someone was mentioning that Amberly had a brother and a sister and I don’t think that’s correct , she just has a brother

Gosh this makes me so sad.

There are a couple of recent arrest listed for Dekalb county that are interesting.

[margarita25]

I think it's probably true because it took a long time for them to announce she had been found.

MOO.

I agree. If not that specifically, something else similar that would involve tampering with a deceased body, moo. They sure are taking a long time to process the scene (if that’s what they’re still doing) and going to great lengths to keep the media away from the area by not divulging any locations yet. Even the Daily Mail hasn't posted any crime scene photos yet which shows just how tight LE is keeping the disposal location. It has been over 24 hours since Amberly has been located and her location found still has not been revealed.
