BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- A mother's fear intensifies, as days pass and still no sign of her 22-year old daughter, Amber Whited.
Although Police Chief Matt Doering says he remains optimistic, he has said from the onset that he believes Whiteds sudden disappearance is the result of foul play. He said investigators have information that point in that direction.
We just dont have any idea where to search, he said.
If someone wants to follow an inclination, it certainly wouldnt hurt, he said.
Officers have checked out the route Whited usually drove for lunch, checking the roadside and business security videos along the way without finding anything

The police chief noted there area between her home, work, and the place her car was found is large. Another family friend who saw her car before police impounded it noted that clay caked under the front bumper looked like it could have come from Pennick Road after it changes from paved to dirt, and the condition of the car was not how Amber maintained it (implied she'd likely not have gone off-roading in it), so they've also been searching that area.
More at the article. I wish my mapping skills were up to snuff so I could add a map with this location as well as home, work, and where the car was found.
I have been thinking that someone slashed the tire to make it look like someone stopped to help and abducted her.
The unpaved stretch of Pennick Road is approximately 4.8-4.9 miles, it looks like. The northern end of the unpaved part of Pennick Road terminates into Altamaha Park Road. That road terminates at Altamaha Regional Park, which has a boat ramp, camping, etc.on the Altamaha River. The park is 18 miles away from the Harley-Davidson dealership, about a half hour on main roads.
That would be too far for a normal lunch break, since she doesn't return late from lunch, according to her manager. Not likely she'd have gone that far during lunch on her own.
I'm just researching based on the limited info in the articles, MO and please don't read too much into it. Just wanted to gather more info on Pennick Road.
Searchers were going to the Sansavilla Wildlife Management Area where there were some dirt roads with clay and along Interstate 95. They have their reasons for searching.

Another place mentioned in the Jacksonville.com article with smilar clay:
Georgia and parts of the south have a thick damp red dirt that resembles Play-Doh. When it's dry outside, it's hard to dig through it. When it's rained a good bit, this stuff is very thick and gooey and sticks on everything.
Does anyone know if LE has set up any searches for Amber?
Yes, I was thinking places like that also. My ex-husband hunted there a lot and he'd gotton 4 wheel drive on trucks because of the roads. So that is a good area now in the "off season" to search. It is secluded and you'd have to know those roads.
It is great they have such a good description. Somebody at the tattoo shops KNOWS who this person is, if he has both arms "sleeved".
The article makes me think that LE already knows who they are looking for in connection to this case.
There is a tattoo shop right up the road from where she worked at the Harley store.
