On the evening of July 8, 2018, 18-year-old Amber Dawn Meadows was abducted in Beckley, West Virginia, after an encounter in the parking lot of a Little General store. Amber and two friends, Arileah Lacy and Destiny Conkle, were forced at gunpoint into a vehicle by four men — identified as Davide Hudson Jr., Tyrique Pearl, Jonathan Bird, and Antonio Williams — and taken to a Travelodge on Harper Road. Inside Room 48 the three women were held, their cellphones taken, and the night turned violent when an argument broke out over drug money.

In the early hours of July 9, 2018, Davide Hudson Jr. shot Amber in the head; her friends escaped and alerted authorities from a nearby restaurant. Beckley police found Amber’s body in the motel bathroom. Surveillance footage helped identify the four men and all were in custody within a week. Davide Hudson Jr. was charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy; the other three men later accepted plea deals for lesser charges and testified against him.

Does anyone have information about Amber’s final hours or memories of her that could help the record?
