Twenty-three-year-old Amber Berbiglia spent a normal Friday running errands around Myrtle Beach—paying a bill, getting gas, a quick haircut—before she was due at work. She never arrived. Hours later, Amber was found beneath the Robert Edge Parkway overpass; her car was still running, her phone within reach. The autopsy revealed she’d been beaten and strangled. No robbery. No sexual assault. No clear motive.

In this episode, we trace Amber’s final movements, unpack the confusing surveillance footage (including the unidentified person later seen in her car), and examine the conflicting reports about DNA—asking whether modern tools like M-Vac, advanced sequencing, or forensic genetic genealogy could finally break this case. We also explore the leading theories: random attack, someone she knew, an abduction gone wrong, or predatory stalking.

If you have any information about what happened to Amber on May 3, 2013, contact Myrtle Beach/North Myrtle Beach Police or Crime Stoppers. Amber deserves justice.
