Amber Marie Whitmer was 30 when she was last seen in Springfield, Ohio, in mid‑2016. The last confirmed family sighting was May 28, 2016, when she visited for her mother’s birthday; another account places her last seen on June 16, 2016, after being dropped off at the corner of Southern Avenue and West Pleasant Street. Reports describe her as between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches, 140 to 160 pounds, with brown hair (which she may have dyed red) and blue eyes. She was reportedly wearing a light blue spring jacket, a tank top and either white shorts or blue jeans with sparkles on the hip pockets, plus Nike tennis shoes.

Amber’s mother noted that Amber normally checked in at least every few months, and grew concerned when contact stopped. A local officer familiar with Amber reported seeing her in an area of Springfield known for sex work; that sighting and Amber’s history were recorded by investigators. A missing person report was not officially taken until nearly a year after she was last seen. Her case is classified as involuntary missing, remains unsolved, and investigators have Amber’s DNA and fingerprints on file.
