Discovery of Amber DuBois Body Sparks New Fears

(1/1)

goinsfl:
The discovery of the remains of a second San Diego area teenager has raised more questions about a sex offender already in custody for the death of 17-year-old Chelsea King, but police aren't confirming the two cases are connected.

The skeletal remains of 14-year-old Amber DuBois were found in Pala, an Indian reservation north of San Diego, more than a year after she vanished on her way to school. Her remains were identified by the coroner through dental records, authorities said.

DuBois' remains were found less than a week after King's body was found in a shallow grave in a park where she was last seen jogging.

Registered sex offender John Albert Gardner III, 30, was arrested on rape and murder charges in the King case. He has pleaded not guilty. He is also charged with attempting to rape another woman in December. He could face the death penalty if convicted of the King murder.

Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher would not comment Sunday on whether the discovery of DuBois's body was linked to Gardner.
