Amber Manthorne was last seen in her Vancouver Island community of Port Alberni on July 7, 2022, leaving her loved ones and the community searching for answers. Her white 2021 Jeep Compass was found abandoned two days later, near a logging road outside Nanaimo. In a chilling twist, security footage shows her ex-boyfriend, Justin Hall, driving her vehicle and struggling with a suitcase and a large plastic tote in the early hours of July 8. The large black plastic tote seen in the footage has never been recovered.

The RCMP now believe that Amber was likely the victim of foul play, with Hall as a key person of interest. Yet Hall's own death in Merritt last year has left police with more questions than answers, and Amber’s family still waits for closure. In this episode, we speak with Laura Palmer, host of the podcast Island Crime, who covered Amber’s case in-depth. Together, we examine the events surrounding Amber’s disappearance, the disturbing details caught on camera, and the lingering questions that haunt those still hoping for answers.
