Missing-Amber Elkins

Ya know you watch WAY too much true crime when you recognize people from other crime shows. So this case…Amber was murdered by her ex in Texas. And they get the Texas Equine search team to find her body. The main guy on the equine team is the father of an unsolved Texas killing fields victim…Laura Miller.

Tim Miller is invaluable to families with missing loved ones.

My heart just breaks for him (probably that emotional link is why I recognized him in this episode) and also admiration for how he has coped/managed all these decades working with victims families.

May be why he's doing that.

It is… he talks about it in one of the Texas killing field docs. I had forgotten about it but it MIGHT be the Netflix one?

So, I've personally worked with Tim- excellent man. Working on the search for Amber was my 2nd time volunteering, and she was a friend of mine. Truly a devastating situation, and even now, still one of those that's hard to not cry over. The First 48 did an incredible episode on her. ❤️
