Authorities Are Asking For Your Help

Escondido police are requesting the public's help in identifying the red truck seen in surveillance video near the place where Amber Dubois disappeared on Feb 13.

The footage was taped minutes before the girl vanished. The marooon or burgundy-colored pickup is seen entering the school parking lot, where it parked for three minutes before leaving the driveway, onto North Broadway, Lt. Bob Benton said.

The pickup is a late-model crew-cab model with four doors, is equipped with chrome parts, including wheels, running boards and bed rails, said Benton.

"Also, it appears from the video the tailgate is either missing or (modified) to accommodate a fifth-wheel trailer, Benton said, There is no further information such as license-plate or driver description."

Investigators have identified all other vehicles which belong to employees.
