Amber's family shared in a Facebook post that their daughter always communicates with them each week.

She has lived in the Portland area for several years but last November became homeless due to her fentanyl addiction. She continued to check in with us at least weekly. She has never gone this long without contacting us so we have filed a missing person report with Multnomah County Law Enforcement. She is 5 ft 7 in, 115 pounds.
Amber usually frequents the downtown library, Rose Haven Day Shelter, or Burnside Shelter.
My wife and I are so thankful for the amazing outpouring of support. I know Amber would be touched that so many people care. We are encouraged that we have three recent reports from people who believe they saw Amber, and they are all in an area that she knows well.

Amber Abbott has some tattoos that help identify her. She has a "queen chess symbol" on the inside of her right forearm, and there are also floral tattoos above each breast.
