Amber Elaine Lundgren, 20, was last seen leaving the nightclub Bar Code in Asheville, North Carolina, on June 7, 1997, about 3 a.m. Witnesses said she was walking on Lexington Avenue and headed toward another bar, Gatsby’s. Later that day her body was found near Azalea Road, placed by a drainage ditch; she had been fatally stabbed in the neck. Investigators believed she was killed elsewhere and her body moved to that location.

Friends remembered Amber as caring, upbeat and innocent, and said she rarely drank and took care of her safety despite rumors about a wild lifestyle. She worked as an assistant manager at Pier 1 and was well-known in downtown Asheville. A man was reportedly seen near where her body was found. The case remains unsolved and her family and friends continue to seek justice.

If anyone knew Amber, saw her the night of June 7, 1997, or has information about a man seen near Azalea Road, please come forward.
