More than five months after 12-year-old Amber Harris vanished while walking home from a school bus stop, human remains were recovered from an Omaha park, police say. Authorities were tipped off to a location in Hummel Park on May 11, 2006.
A little more than a week later on May 19, 2006,Omaha police broke the news to Amber's parents that the skeletal remains they'd found in a shallow grave a week earlier were, in fact, their daughter's.
Twelve-year-old Amber Harris was supposed to go straight home from school on November 29, 2005. Police believe she was intending to do just that when she mysteriously disappeared.
Now, more than two months after Amber disappeared authorities may have located her backpack. On February 14, 2006, officials in Nebraska got a call about a crucial piece of evidence in the case of Amber Harris. A backpack was found about a mile and a half from where Amber disappeared. It containted a notebook with Amber's name on it, but authorities are conducting forensic tests for confirmation. The backpack was delivered to the Omaha crime lab, but no new information has been released by police since it was found.
The Tuesday Amber disappeared was just like any other school day for the Omaha, Nebraska girl. She boarded the school bus around 6:30 a.m., attended classes all day, and even tutored a younger student in the afternoon. Police say Amber called her father from her friend's cell phone around 4 pm to say she was coming home on the late bus from Beveridge Magnet Center.
May this sweet angel be resting in the arms of Jesus!!!!!
