Police resume search for SoCal teen Amber Dubois, draining pond after report of human hair

Police resume search for missing SoCal teen

SAN DIEGO — Police in Escondido have resumed a search for missing teen Amber Dubois after a woman reported her children found what looked like human hair in a park.

Lt. Craig Carter says police are draining a pond at Kit Carson Park for a second day after the woman reported Thursday night that her daughters told her in May they found a bag of hair there.

Carter says the woman didn’t make the connection to the search for Amber until another teen — 17-year-old Chelsea King — vanished last week about 10 miles south in San Diego. A body presumed to be Chelsea’s was found Tuesday in a shallow lakeside grave.

Amber disappeared last year while walking to school. She was 14 years old at the time.
