Kauaʻi police renews call for help in Amber Jackson homicide case

The Kauaʻi Police Department is renewing its request for information regarding an unsolved homicide that occurred on Jul. 3, 2010, saying authorities continue to pursue all leads that could advance the investigation.

The announcement comes exactly 14 years after Amber Jackson’s body was found in a remote and inaccessible part of the island in Kealia, after she had been reported missing on June 23, 2010.

A subsequent autopsy showed that she had died from blunt-force trauma to the head and had injuries consistent with an assault.

To date, no arrests have been made, and the case is still under investigation.

The Amber Jackson Justice Group (AJJG), formed by Jackson’s family and friends, continues to pursue answers for Jackson’s tragic death by working with various mainstream unsolved homicide media outlets. A popular podcast and television series called Unsolved Mysteries featured the 2010 unsolved murder of Amber Jackson.

KPD and the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney continue to invest resources in solving the Amber Jackson homicide. “Our goal has always been to find and hold accountable the individual(s) responsible for Amber’s death. We believe that there is someone out there with information that could help lead to the apprehension of the killer(s). If you have any information that could help solve this tragic death, we encourage you to come forward and speak with investigators,” said Assistant Chief Kalani Ke.

The AJJG is offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Jackson’s killer.
