FL - Amber Gaddis, 30, found dead after husband escapes kidnappers, Jacksonville, June 2020

I just combed the headlines in Jax to no avail of an update. I did talk with some people on a music forum who are from the area and concede that it can be a bad place. One person said they lost a relative in a drug related murder just 2 streets over from Kingsbury on French St. I can’t get over how nice the neighborhood looks from the map.

Definitely NOT a good neighborhood.

Thanks, given your screen name we will take your word. I was just taken by the swim pools and paved drives in that area and assumed it was nice. The lack of info on this is really confusing at this point.

I found an incomplete obituary for the victim today that says her service will be on 7/11 in Orange Park Fl.

If its her own fb page, do we still have to provide a link?

sorry late responding to this
I just wanted the link to her page but it's ok, someone else posted it.

Not having FB slows my sleuthing down quite a bit but I’ll carry on.

Thanks for bringing that @lisaNYC. I sincerely hope they find justice for this young lady soon. I can’t imagine the pain this family must feel.

I don’t think they trashed the tv, I think they were probably trying to take it but abandoned it. Maybe what they intended on robbing wasn’t in the house, so they said screw it, were at least taking this tv. Jmo

Maybe when they realised they had killed someone they just took off, abandoning the t.v..

This seems most logical. I’m still wondering if this was for theft or if she was singled out.

Two weeks and not a word.

Ives said he, Gaddis’ husband, other family members and friends were taken in for questioning. He said he thinks he knows who did this and told police. He added that the group was released about 8 a.m. and then returned home.

Homicide detectives confirmed they were interviewing multiple people, including family members and neighbors. Detectives said they were also looking for surveillance video and canvassing the area.

I know that I’m impatient but it seems like all of the above listed, there would be a break by now. They may be waiting of results from some sort of testing I guess and studying video. I feel for the family going thru this.

Yes, it's gone very cold. Not a murmur.

That’s a pretty dog. Yea, I check on this daily but never a word. I hope we hear of justice soon.

Thank you. He is my constant companion during this covid lockdown here in Australia.

I am really surprised no one else gets a drug vibe. Sadly, maybe I’ve just been around too many drug users in my life. I also spent a lot more time going down the rabbit hole of this case than I’m proud of, so maybe after reading all of her court cases is influencing my opinions. When someone doensnt appear to have custody of their kids, and has a lengthy history of drug violations, I can’t help but think drugs are involved.

A drug deal gone bad was my first thought.

I’m not counting that angle out but I just keep thinking that this lady was the intended target of the attack for some reason and the robbery was just smoke.

I can’t believe we haven’t heard more on this.

Same but in fairness to local Jacksonville media- they've been really busy with a major Covid surge and the (eventually cancelled) Republican National Convention coming to town.
