Summary

On September 23, 1998, 19-year-old Amber Wilde, a college student who was four and a half months pregnant, called her father after getting into a minor car accident near the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay.

Later that evening, she spoke to him one last time from her apartment landline, but the next day she never showed up for class or a doctor’s appointment.

A week later, her car was found abandoned near Lambeau Field, with her keys inside and her purse locked in the trunk. But Amber was nowhere to be found.

More than twenty-seven years later, Amber’s disappearance remains unsolved. Detectives believe she was murdered, but without her body, they’ve never been able to prove it. Her family is still searching, waiting for the answers that will finally bring Amber home.

If you have any information in this case, please contact Crime Stoppers at 920-432-7867.
