Hundreds turn out at vigil for Amber Dubois whose body was found near Temecula
Candles and flowers multiplied, accompanied by notes. “Someone so special can never be forgotten,” one read, and another read, “You will be remembered.”

After school let out Monday, Escondido High School was like so many other schools; sneakers squeaked on the gymnasium floor, student athletes jogged across campus, and teens squealed and laughed in the school’s parking lot. Just outside the high school’s gated grounds, though, was a reminder: Despite signs of life, Monday was not like any other day at Escondido High School. A curbside memorial grew for 15-year-old Amber Dubois along the south gate of the school. Candles and flowers multiplied, accompanied by notes. “Someone so special can never be forgotten,” one read, and another read, “You will be remembered.” A small, stuffed white lamb – a symbol of innocence – was tucked behind a tightly-bound bouquet of yellow daffodils.
Students struggled with the grim news Monday, said 17-year-old Nathan Pedersen, a junior and a friend of Amber’s. “It’s hard to accept,” Pedersen said. Pedersen, who runs track for Escondido High School, said he’s running this week’s meet “for Amber and Chelsea.”
“In cases like this, we talk about closure,” said Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher. “I don’t think anyone who experiences something like this ever truly gets closure … [But] If not closure, we can certainly get justice.” Maher told the crowd the Escondido Police Department, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the FBI and other agencies will “continue to do everything else to bring this investigation to a successful resolution and prosecution.”
Maurice “Moe” Dubois, Amber’s dad, and Carrie McGonigle, Amber’s mom, thanked the crowd Monday for their well wishes, and authorities and volunteers for searching for their daughter for more than a year. They also encouraged parents to educate children about safe behavior. “As parents, we need to make a change for the protection of our children,” Moe Dubois said.
