Amber Jenkins was 16 when she disappeared from Kankakee, Illinois, in the late summer or early fall of 2001. After that date she was never heard from again.

Born April 19, 1985, Amber was a student at Kankakee High School enrolled in the SALT program. She was five feet one inch and weighed about 125 to 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing features include a tattoo of her initials AJ on her upper right thigh, a burn scar on her left upper arm, and a tennis bracelet she often wore on her left wrist. She also spoke Spanish fluently.

The Kankakee Police Department is handling the investigation but has released little information. A police flyer mentioned an unconfirmed possible sighting after her official last sighting, but no public details about that lead have been provided. Does anyone from Kankakee in 2001 remember Amber or have information about where she might have gone?
