Ten-year-old Amber Renee Barker left a friend’s house in Oklahoma City on the evening of December 18, 1997, after a call from her mother telling her it was time to come home. She was last seen at about 6:00 p.m. riding her blue ten-speed bicycle in the 3000 block of Northwest 45th Street, heading toward her home in the 3100 block of Northwest 39th Street, but never completed the short trip.

Amber was described as a White female, 4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet tall, 70 to 80 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The next day her bicycle was recovered in Denniston Park about a mile from home. On December 20, her sweater, shoes, a sock, and a ring were found scattered along Drexel Boulevard and Northwest 12th Street. Investigators reported blood, hair, and fibers near those items; a tiny spot of blood on a shoe was too small for DNA, but a partial male DNA profile was developed from the sweater, which also contained blue fibers and material believed to include vomit and possible ejaculate.

If anyone knew Amber, saw her that evening, or has information about the location where her belongings were found, please share what can help the investigation.
