The family of Amber Dubois wants the public to keep the missing teen in their minds and hearts.
A vigil is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, four months after the North County teen was last seen, at the Amber Dubois Search Center in Escondido, which is closing. Organizers said it was due to the fact that the number of volunteers is dropping.
The Escondido High School freshman disappeared on her way to school. Not long after, her parents opened the Amber Search Center in Escondido. The center was a place for volunteers to meet before going out to search for Amber.
Volunteers will still meet at local parks and restaurants before searching for Amber -- which isn’t to say they are giving up hope; they are just dialing down the expenses involved in continuing the search.
On Sunday, there will be a benefit concert in Orange County at the OC Tavern in San Clemente.
The family is offering a $60,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.
