   A body recovered from the Scioto River in Columbus, Ohio on   
   Saturday, March 23 has been identified as activist Amber Evans.   
      
   “On Saturday, March 23, 2019 members from the Columbus Police   
   Special Victims Bureau were working in conjunction with the   
   Columbus Police Dive team on the Scioto River,” Columbus Ohio   
   Police Public Information Office said in a press release   
   Saturday. “Through the efforts of the detectives and dive team   
   members, a body was recovered from the water. The Franklin   
   County coroner’s office was called in to work with the   
   detectives. Additional information will be available pending the   
   outcome of the Coroner’s investigation and identification.”   
      
   An updated statement from Columbus Police on Sunday said the   
   body recovered had been positively identified as Amber Evans,   
   and police had notified the family. The cause and manner of   
   death have not yet been released.   
      
   “While this is not the outcome we hoped for, we understand this   
   brings closure for the family. Our thoughts & prayers go out to   
   them,” Columbus Police wrote in Sunday’s press release.   
      
   Brian Peters, Amber’s father, told Dateline, “I am just happy   
   that we have found her.”   
      
   After Amber’s body was identified on Sunday, her mother Tonya   
   Fischer posted a final message to her daughter on Facebook:   
   “Forever my baby to the moon and back I will always love you   
   Amber.”   
      
   Brian and Tonya’s daughter Amber was last seen two months ago on   
   January 28, 2019. After leaving work, Amber was captured on   
   security footage buying cold medicine and a candy bar at a local   
   store. Amber is seen leaving the store, but had not been seen   
   since. Later that evening, Amber’s car was found near the Scioto   
   River in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Her purse was in the trunk.   
   Amber’s cell phone was found the next day in the same area.   
      
   Earlier this month, Amber’s mother Tonya told Dateline her   
   daughter was a passionate and intelligent young woman. “Amber   
   was dedicated. She had passion. She had fire for the cause and   
   work that she did” and, “she was determined to heal pains of the   
   world at whatever it took.”   
      
   Amber’s father Brian echoed those sentiments, saying it “lifted   
   you up to be around her. She was just a ray of light – always   
   happy, always chipper, always smiling.”   
      
   At the time of her disappearance, Amber was working at the   
   Juvenile Justice Coalition in Columbus, Ohio. She had worked   
   there since 2015. In January of this year, Amber was promoted to   
   Executive Director.   
      
   On a Facebook Page created in Amber’s memory, her father Brian   
   wrote, “this is still an open and ongoing investigation” and   
   “Your prayers are welcomed and appreciated but please let us   
   mourn and let my baby rest!”   
      
   Anyone with information about Amber’s case should contact the   
   Columbus Police Department’s Special Victims Bureau by calling   
   614-645-4624 or 614-645-4545.
