Amber Marie Arnett, 39, was last seen on June 25, 2023, at a Dollar Tree on South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Lansing. She was wearing a black tank top with white writing, blue jeans and black tennis shoes, and later sent a message from her Facebook account to a friend saying she was at the gate and asking to be let in. That message is the last confirmed contact anyone has with her.

In the weeks before she disappeared Amber had lost her job and her housing as a live-in caretaker and faced pending court matters. She had reached out to her mother, Marty, in late June asking to stay with her; her mother was out of town and expected Amber to make contact when she returned. Friends and family say Amber’s social media went quiet and calls and texts went unanswered, prompting a missing person report to the Lansing Police Department.

Her family reports rumors that some people in her circle suspected she might be cooperating with law enforcement about other criminal matters, and that she may have witnessed a serious crime and hoped to trade information for leniency on her own charges.

Does anyone who knew Amber or who was in that neighborhood on June 25 have information that could help locate her?
