and I'm telling you right now

she's missing.

Something is wrong.

Can you just look

at the information.

That's all I'm asking you to do.

[instrumental music]

Okay.

I'm here with Amber's family

and the lead investigator

on the case.

Thank you all for being with me.

Can you tell me, is there any

new information

that you can share about

where Amber might be?

Are we any closer

to finding her?

Unless someone else steps

forward with more information

the last known location of Amber

is right where we're standing,

ma'am.

We just want her found.

If anyone knows anything..

...please..

Please help us.

Um, I miss my daughter.

Amber..

...wherever you are..

...we love you, we love you.

We love you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out

to 16-year-old Amber Stevens

who is still missing.

(Amber)

The line seems endless.

I can't see faces anymore.

I no longer have

the energy to cry

much less fight.

Fifty men..

At least 50 men

who have abused me.

Hey.

Hey, you watchin' this flick?

See, you can learn something

if you ever gonna

make it in this life.

Mm.

Yeah.

Hey, D, check this out.

It's local news.

Official missing persons.

[Big D laughs]

Yeah. Mm.

[cell phone vibrates]

Mm.

This one is good.

You do this..

...and you won't need

a website no more.

(male #6)

'Everybody,

I need your attention.'

This is the satellite feed

this is the overhead

of the hotel.

Our online search puts

Amber Stevens in room 117.

Room faces north.

We have a window

on the east side.

We'll be approaching

from the west.

Door hammer, team leader

officer two, three,

four and five.

Door goes down.

We're gonna push in.

Check the bathroom.

'I don't know how big

this wall is on the closet.'

Watch this wall.

Another entry point right here.

Anybody have any questions?

Guys, gather up!

Team, come together, let's go.

Okay, guys. Focus.

Be safe. Lock and load.

Let's go get Amber.

[instrumental music]

Listen to me.

- No.

Angel, unloosen your fist.

Unloosen your fist.

Stop, girl! Shh.

He's coming in a minute,

and if you don't cooperate

Big D is gonna whoop your butt.

[Amber screaming]

Shut up!

Shut up!

You better cooperate.

[music continues]

Knock and announce.

'Police with a warrant.

Breach, breach, breach.

'The bathroom's clear.'

Secondary complete.

Alright. We missed them.

- Call Forensics. Clear out.

- 'No.'

They gotta be close.

We gotta keep looking.

Clear out, officer!

She's not here.

[screaming]

On me, on me. Stack up.

[sirens wailing]

I need support.

It's okay. We got you.

We got you.

We're gonna get you home, okay?

We're gonna get you home.

It's okay. You're safe.

You're safe.

[Amber crying]

[instrumental music]

Do we have EMTs coming?

You almost there, okay?

Just a few more steps.

Just a few more steps, okay?

Watch your step.

Watch your step.

Watch your step.

You can lean on us.

You can lean on us, okay?

You're okay.

We're almost there.

We're almost there.

Can you get in there? Okay.

'You're gonna be okay.'

[music continues]

[sniffles]

Oh, it is.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

- We're here.

I'm so sorry.

[instrumental music]

[crying]

- Thank you.

- It's okay.

No, it's okay. I know.

It's okay. She's safe.

Ma'am, we're going to stay with

you through your whole case.

[music continues]

Let's get her in.

Thank you. Thank you.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

[no audio]

[indistinct]

Hi, my name's Dr. Burton.

Amber, my name's Dr. Burton.

I know this is a really

tough time for your family

but we do need

to get started

'on your sexual assault

examination'

'just as soon as possible.'

It's going to be fine, we're

going to take care of her, okay?

(male #9)

'We'll be right outside.'

Thank you.

(Tyler)

I'll kill you and your family.

(Bid D)

You live...

'cause I let you live.

(Tyler)

I know where you live.

[screaming]

No. No, no, no.

[instrumental music]

Here you go, baby.

Thank you, officer.

Son of a..

He's gonna rot in prison.

[music continues]

Am-Amber, do you want

some apple juice?

[music continues]

[sniffles]

I think your brothers made some,

uh, fr-fresh orange juice too.

'It's okay.'

'We can get that later.'

[music continues]

[sobbing]

[music continues]

[sniffles]

[sighs]

I love you.

[Amy sniffles]

[music continues]

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

[music continues]

I didn't know

what was gonna happen to her.

Honest.

It was just quick cash.

- If I'd had known--

- You'd what? Quit your gang?

What about the others?

Like I said..

...it's not my problem.

Why'd you sell her out?

[scoffs]

Do I look like I care

about some girl?

Tyler gave us drugs

and money..

...that's all I care about.

This isn't like selling

drugs, Justin.

You sold human beings.

People.

Someone's daughter.

Someone's sister.

It's your last chance.

[indistinct chattering]

- Drew Matlock?

- Uh, yeah.

I'd like to ask you some

questions about Amber Steven's

disappearance

from a few weeks ago.

Okay.

It's my understanding

you were with her

the night she disappeared.

Um, yeah.

Did you make prior arrangements

with Amber and her family

to take her to that party?

No, I mean...she..

I thought she called

her parents or something.

Hmm, so you're not aware

that she lied to her parents

to get there that night?

No.

You didn't have anything

to do with her going missing?

- Uh, no.

- Mm.

Well, I may have some

more questions for you.

We'll stay in touch.

Okay.

I'm watching you.

(Amber)

Drew...that brought me

to Jamie's party..

...and left me with Tyler..

...he never

admitted to anything.

[crying]

Uh, I hope you now know

what happens to a person

when they're treated

like a slave.

No better than an animal.

I wish to God I didn't..

...but he held a gun

to my head..

...and he,

he threatened my family.

'I c-I couldn't lose them.'

I don't know

what would've happened to me..

...if my mom didn't fight

for me.

If...she didn't have people..

'...that fought with her.'

They're saying

I'll have wounds..

...I may never

fully recover from.

Just eight days.

Eight days and so much happened.
