Details of Disappearance
King was last seen in Glenville, New York on October 16, 2013. She was at the Conifer Park Rehabilitation Center, getting court-ordered treatment for her heroin addiction. After ten days at the center, she left with another individual. There were sightings of King in the Albany, New York area up until November, but she hasn't been seen or heard from since.

She began experimenting with drugs while a student at Bethlehem High School, was arrested a few times on drug charges, and had been through drug counseling and detoxification programs before without success. In spite of her drug problem, King usually kept in touch with her family; she called her father about once a week. Her case remains unsolved.

Bumping, just stumbled upon this case looking up another local one. According to her missing page on FB, her friend and father are still trying to get answers. Apparently a new detective took over in Feb 2021...hoping somethinggg can breathe some new life into this and give her dad some closure. Those areas she frequented are even rougher now than they were back then. I'm planning to shoot the page a FB message to direct them here in case they're not already aware. I recently saw they posted asking for advice about how to get her added to relevant MP databases, and I know you smart people would be able to offer lots of advice. It's been posted upthread, but here's her missing page again: Log in or sign up to view

ETA: I dug a little deeper into the comments, and apparently they DID manage to get her added to NAMUS, but I'm sure someone here could still be of help if one of her loved ones does end up joining here and asking for help.

Thank you! I've been in touch with her friend who runs the FB missing page, so I will pass this along. She mentioned wanting to ramp things up again this year (understandably, the past couple years have been crazy for everyone, but it's so great that she's still so committed to finding answers).

Where was Amanda King last seen? Missing Bethlehem woman’s remains found near Troy pond a decade after disappearance

The remains of Amanda King, a woman from Bethlehem, New York, who vanished over a decade ago, were reportedly recovered last month in Burden Pond Preserve on Mill Street and Campbell Avenue in Troy.

So the skeleton found was buried.....
From the rehab center to the location of the remains is a 34 minute drive.
Who was the person she left the rehab center with?

 

[Knox]

About 10 days later, on Oct. 16, 2013, he got a phone call from Conifer Park. Amanda had left treatment early, against their recommendation. They just wanted to let him know.

As far as he and police are concerned, that's the last anyone can be sure Amanda was alive. Someone picked her up from the facility, but they aren't sure who.

The investigation didn't get far. Amanda had no cell phone, car or credit card, leaving little opportunity to trace her movements. Police tried to get video of the person who picked her up from Conifer Park, but the facility's surveillance video had been taped over by then.
