Police Wait For Amber's Computer History Overseas

The 14-year-old Escondido High School freshman, Amber Dubois disappeared Feb. 13th, 2009. Police say there has been no leads or developments in the case for weeks.

Amber's family believes she was abducted but investigators say they have no evidence to support either a runaway or abduction theory.

"This has been a very frustrating and perplexing case for our investigators. To have a 14-year-old girl missing is a huge concern for all of us involved ... we all know Amber, obviously not as well as the family. She is very dear to us. We'll do anything to find her," Escondido police Lt. Bob Benton said.

So far, the search warrant's of Amber's e-mail and online chat history has shown nothing "out of the ordinary," said Benton. The challenge is accessing Amber's computer history, on both her Yahoo! e-mail account and from several social networking sites. Investigators say this is slow process because much of the data is stored on servers overseas.

One of the "unsolved questions of the case" said Benton is the identity of the young male seen walking with Amber on the west side of Broadway the morning she vanished?
