The parents of slain California teenager Amber Dubois asked mourners to turn their anguish into action by pushing for tougher penalties and stricter laws to protect children from predators, reports the San Diego Union-Tribune. Police in Escondido, Ca., said the investigation into Amber’s death remains focused on convicted sex offender John Albert Gardner III. The girl's remains were found Saturday in a wooded hillside after a 13-month search. Gardner, who was charged last week with raping and murdering teenager Chelsea King.
Investigators have questioned whether Gardner played a role in Amber’s disappearance after he was arrested Feb. 28 in the Chelsea King case. Escondido police said Gardner, who got a 6-year prison term in 2000 for molesting and falsely imprisoning a 13-year-old girl, remains “a focus” of their investigation. Amber, a 14-year-old high school freshman, disappeared Feb. 13, 2009, as she walked toward the campus an hour before class.

Does it surprise anyone that that the Amber Dubois disappearance case (Escondido, CA) has no one in custody for the crime and the Chelsea King case (Rancho Bernardo, CA) has a convicted sex offender awaiting trial. Could it be where they happened to die or that the one family is poor and the other affluent. Is anyone surprised that the Amber Dubois family, knowing the history of the Escondido Police went and hired a private investigator who passed along information as to where the body was ultimately found. We all remember the Stephanie Crowe Murder Case where the Escondido Police Department falsely accused her brother Michael Crowe and forced confessions (as a 01/15/2010, Michael Crowe, won a case against Escondido PD). Could it be that the criminal is a member of the Escondido Police Department and all of them are protecting their own (like the Catholic Church) and that’s why they originally said she was a runaway to deflect additional searches. Could it be that the police are just following “Escondido City Council“ (Gang of Three – Marie Waldron, Sam Abed and Ed Gallo)orders to chase around un-document workers and not do their job of protecting and serving the residents of Escondido. It kind of makes you wonder if the “Gang of three” has ask the police to formally or informally investigate potential or future political opponents, it makes you wonder doesn’t it. Of course it could be that Escondido Police Department is filled with incompetent dullards who love taking steroids in their attempts to look like their body builder heroes. The only thing I can say for sure is there is something wrong here.
