About this episode

As Amber's hometown prepares to mark the one-year anniversary of her disappearance, a forest fire severs the connection to the community. Port Alberni quietly grieves her loss, still waiting for answers. In this episode, a woman believes she may have witnessed Amber and her boyfriend together the weekend after her disappearance. And a man who never knew Amber, becomes an online antagonist, provoking a response.

This episode was recorded and edited before news of Justin Hall's death became public. An update message has been added to reflect this most recent development.  

Thank you to CHEK News for the use of audio from archival news footage.
