From the story above. Not surprising that there is conflicting information on this. I tend to believe that it came from a tip, from JAG himself. It just seem to be too coincidental coming so soon after the arrest and the fact that this place seems so remote.

I agree, that would be too coincidental for the hiker to find the body at this time, but stranger things have happened.
Maybe the lead came from someone else and not JAG? I think about the only thing they could entice him with is say they won't go for the death penalty for the Chelsey's case, and I really hope this isn't the case.
 
God Bless all of the family.
Now Amber can have a proper burial.
Amber's mom was right on about Jag.
How many other's may be his victims???
A year between is a long time............
 
Sweet, lovely Amber. We never stopped thinking about you...praying for you. I hope you know that your short life was not in vain and that you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, sweet girl. XOXO
 
Pala is in some very rough country. Looking for photos, I found this:

geology tour reminder …
Oceanview Mine in Pala, California
Sunday, December 2, 2007

The geology tour is filling up fast! The Oceanview Mine in the Pala mining district of northern San Diego County is the last operating mine from a region that once had 73 mines, producing beautiful tourmalines (some with “watermelon” colors of green and pink), lavender lepidolite mica, plus beautiful crystals of quartz, morganite, beryl, kunzite, garnet, spodumene, and many other rare gems. You get to screen as many buckets of fresh material from the mine as you like and keep any gems you find!

It is rugged and rocky, with parched, desert scrub and tall mesas that drop straight down to deep canyons. Very few people out there, except for those going by car out to the casino. I wouldn't want to hike out there.

What an odd place. I wonder what kind of ties JAG had to that area? Or was it just on the way home from his mom's place?

It's about midway between his mom's in Rancho Bernardo and Lake Elsinore. If he took Amber and then maybe couldn't figure out to where to put her, it's definitely got very desolate areas, yet the main road is one of the back ways to the desert (Palm Springs, etc.) and, really is a way they thought David Westerfield may have gone with Danielle Van Dam on his driving around in the motorhome, etc. So...maybe he thought about that?

Just got photos of the map uploaded for the thread, back in a minute.
 
Dogs had previously tracked Amber to Pala.

"Last summer, dogs from Texas hired by the family appeared to have traced Amber&#8217;s scent to the community of Pala, specifically to the Pala library. But no one in Pala remembers having ever seen Amber. Bloodhounds used by the FBI smelled no hint of her in Pala several months later."

I'm heartbroken. Prayers for Amber's parents and friends. RIP Amber.

Oh my thanks for all the map and info...........from his place to mothers.........
he was on a mission! TRAILS, huh? must of been familiar with them.
Amber looks like she was up in a mountain?

Well, I don't know exactly where she was found - they've not stated specifics (at least on the news) that I've seen.

BUT, a news helicopter just went racing over, so I'm guessing we're going to have an update at 5 with details and perhaps more on where she really was.

That road to Pala is flatish for a bit, but then does get curvy and up and down and all around. I'm curious if she was found close to a main road or not. That has the potential to be a much harder place to have put a body, because the main road, well more desolate than many places is definitely travelled, so it's not totally isolated, and the non-main road is something that'd it be odd for someone to know backroads, etc. through there.

So I'd think he'd have put her somewhere on a road off the main road, and not all that far off the road, because I think weaving way back in there would be an odd choice for someone who presumably doesn't know the area ::too:: well.

respectfully snipped from Coastal'spost

Pala, California is home to a total of 39 mountain summits and peaks...
 
To ME the thing that would seem likely is that he took Amber, went through Valley Center and up the back way to Lilac Road.

Anyone who's lived in Escondido know that road through Valley Center, and if it were an impulse thing with Amber, and he just kept driving past the school after he took her and on into Escondido trying to figure out where to go, it wouldn't be farfetched for him to have ended up on the road to Valley Center, and then dumped her off Lilac there as it reaches the 76 in Pala. So off the ::main:: road of 76/Pala Road, but not somewhere he'd have known. If that makes sense?

be sure to break out the discussion. thanks people.

Absolutely heartbreaking. :( I don't even know what to say.

Rest in peace Amber. :rose: You WILL get justice.

The Escondido police said they were following up on a tip but could not reveal the source of the tip due to the ongoing investigation.

It's nice to see that they are willing to follow leads NOW as opposed to when she actually first disappeared and they kept claiming they had information she had run off to Mexico. :furious:

.
 
I could not be more sad. My heart goes out to Amber's family.

I'm for the death penalty, but in California (where I live) he would die in prison before they executed him. A plea to find Amber is worth it.
