Teen Amber Leann Hess Missing From Queen Creek, AZ Foul Play Suspected
Family members said Amber has never disappeared before and that it’s out of character for her to lose contact with her parents. Her grandfather said Amber does not have a boyfriend and her family has no idea where she could be. (National Ledger)
UPDATE I: Burned body found, possibly linked to a missing 17-year-old girl
This is not a very optimistic update in the case of missing Amber LeAnn Hess. Authorities have found a burned body and other evidence that lead them to believe it may be that of missing Amber LeAnn Hess. Although they are unable to confirm, the evidence (and we are speculating) might be that of her missing car.
Pinal County Sheriff’s officials say they’ve discovered a burned body and other evidence that indicates the victim may be a missing 17-year-old Chandler Heights woman. The body was found off the Hunt Highway near the Anthem development.
The Pinal County chief deputy says at this time, they’re unable to confirm the body is that of Amber Hess. (KOLD)
Originally, one would speculate that this could have been a random robbery where the person may have thought that the entire family had gone on vacation. However, it is hard to imagine that a burglar/killer would have gone to such great lengths to hide and dispose of a body. One would tend to think that the killer was known to the victim.
Teen missing; burned body found
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has ordered an autopsy on a burned body discovered Monday in the desert to determine whether investigators have found 17-year-old Amber LeAnn Hess, who was last heard from Friday.
The body was found in an area off of Hunt Highway, about five miles northwest of Florence. Investigators found evidence at the site that connects the case to the other crime scene – the home where Amber lives with her parents, said Jerald Monahan, Pinal County chief sheriff’s deputy.
Authorities declined to say what that evidence included.
UPDATE II: Could there be any Clues from Amber LeAnn Hess’ MySpace?

UPDATE III: Car of Missing Girl Found in Queen Creek
Pinal County deputies located Amber’s car Monday evening in Queen Creek. It is currently being processed for evidence.
Her parents should be ashamed of themselves. #1 for leaving her home alone for a weekend. #2 for that MySpace account.

teens arrested in death of QC teen
Associated Press

FLORENCE, – Two 16-year-olds were arrested today, booked for investigation of murdering a 17-year-old Queen Creek-area girl.
Pinal County Sheriff Chris Vasquez says an autopsy confirms that a burned body found Monday in a desert area near Florence was that of the missing girl, Amber Hess.
Vasquez says the two suspects apparently had planned the murder, that for some reason they didn’t like Hess.
He says based on statements made by the suspects, this was “one brutal, brutal murder.”
He alleges the two went to the girl’s home and beat, stabbed and choked her, and then took the body to a desert area and set it on fire.
He says the victim’s missing car was found yesterday near the home of one of the suspects.
He says evidence taken from the car and from a search of the suspects’ homes linked them to the crime, and that statements made during interviews with investigators led to their arrests.
Vasquez says he’s recommending that the teens be charged as adults.
Hess was reported missing Sunday night by her parents after they returned from a weekend trip. They had last seen her Friday afternoon.

I find the fact that this little girls memory is being tarnished by her myspace profile quote disturbing. It is of course very common for a teenage girl to portray herself in this manor for attention. It is also sad that someone (in the first comment) would have the bust or balls to dare blame the parents. I believe 17 is old enough to be left for a night provided the teen is responsible. And just how close to 18 was she? No one deserves to die for being a potty mouthed teenager. And you know what? We don’t know the real her, only what she portrays on her profile. I do hope someone is able to delete that for her parents.
Rest in piece little girl, my prayers are with you.
____________
M&E: you are correct. Nothing that she wrote could ever justify what was done to her. She was the victim.

you guys have no right saying anything about her parents or her my space account u didnt know her at all. no one should be judge by their web page! lets look at urs? i bet ur not all tht innocent! no one and i mean no one deserve what happened to her! she was 17 not 12 n graduated from high school n she has a job so she has every right to be home alone in her OWN home. i mean seriously take a step back and think about what ur sayin and who u r accusing before u say nething about this. these two teens knew what they were doing to her and they planned for heaven sack so plz think about who we should be accusing for this. these boys should get the death sentence!!! they r being charged as adults than they should get everything tht an adult would get! right??? plz plz be carful on what ur sayin about this case k

M&E: This is not about the parents … it is about the boys who did this henous act and the fact that they should be put to death for their actions.

17 is old enough to be left alone for the weekend. You can even serve in the military when you’re 17.
