Warrants show few leads after Calif. girl vanished
VISTA, Calif. — Newly unsealed search warrants show investigators had few leads in the month after a 14-year-old girl disappeared while walking to school near San Diego.
The documents unsealed Thursday at the request of The Associated Press and other news organizations seek phone and Internet records for Amber Dubois. They note that two students told a detective that Amber had been communicating with boys on the Internet.
The investigation went nowhere until John Albert Gardner III was charged in March with murdering 17-year-old Chelsea King, more than a year after Amber vanished. Gardner led authorities to Amber’s remains north of San Diego.
He will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole Friday for raping and murdering the two girls.
