Let Us Not Forget Amber, Either..

Dubois vanished Feb. 13 on her way to Escondido High School about 7:15am.

Amber was an excellent student with no history of running away from home or behavioural problems. Her case is not classified as a runaway, endangered person or the victim of an abduction. What?

Escondido Lt. Craig Carter told reporters yesterday that detectives would meet with Dubois mother, Carrie McGonigle. Earlier this week McGonigle demanded detectives seek outside help from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and FBI experts. McGonigle said her daughters investigation cannot wait another day.

"I want the experts to go through the case from the beginning to see what the police have missed...I feel they haven't even had a chance to go back through the case all the way through, and they are not experts on missing children," said teen's mother. "There was stuff they didn't touch, things they didn't do, mistakes they made."

Lt. Carter met with Amber's parents Wednesday morning. Carter said police decided to invite the FBI and the nonprofit National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to review about 15 binders of documents. Detectives are hoping the FBI and the national center missing-child experts will find clues overlooked in early stages of investigation.

"It makes sense, we have no issue with that," Carter said. "We will reach out to both those agencies."

The reward is $55,000 for anyone with information leading to Dubois safe return and an additional $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone responsible for her disappearance.
