Ten year old Amber Barker was riding her bike home from a friend's house on December 18, 1997 when she suddenly disappeared. Though never named a suspect in her case, her sister's husband, Daniel Smith, took his own life just days after Amber went missing. Was he involved? Did he know something? Were there more people involved? Or did Daniel Smith take all of that information to his grave?
