Police have issued a critical missing persons alert. Police said Amber was last seen near her home on Crosswood Lane in the Willowbrook subdivision. She received a liver transplant as an infant and recently has been battling rejection. Doctors told police Amber's health is likely to deteriorate rapidly if she does not get medication by today.
Police have no reason to suspect foul play.
The girl was last seen wearing a red Old Navy hooded fleece sweat shirt with dark gray pants and white, thick-soled shoes. She was carrying a gray purse. Amber has an abdominal scar from the liver transplant surgery and a faded birthmark on her right cheek. A former optometrist will get out of prison early after serving one year of his sentence for fondling children during eye exams. Judge Norbert Nadel had sentenced him to four years but agreed to cut the sentence short.
