KPD continues to seek clues in Amber Jackson homicide in cooperation with Unsolved
Mysteries Podcast
LĪHU‘E – On July 3, 2010, a local pig hunter came across the remains of Amber Jackson in a
remote wooded area in Keālia. Jackson, 57 of Kapa‘a, was initially reported as missing on June 23,
2010. An autopsy conducted revealed that Jackson suffered from blunt-force trauma to her head and
sustained injuries caused by an assault. No arrests have been made and the investigation remains open.
A group formed by Amber Jackson’s family and friends called the Amber Jackson Justice Group
(AJJG) continues to advocate and pursue answers for Jackson’s untimely death by working with various
mainstream unsolved homicide media outlets in an effort to let people know who Amber Jackson was,
how she lived her life and why her death was so tragic.
A long standing, popular podcast and television series called Unsolved Mysteries released a new
podcast on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, featuring the 2010 unsolved murder of Amber
Jackson. Unsolved Mysteries brings light to unsolved cold case homicides across the country.
“The Amber Jackson Justice Group (AJJG) is grateful to Unsolved Mysteries, the Kaua‘i Police
Department and the media for keeping Amber’s murder case in the public eye,” said Amber’s nephew
Matt Alexander. “We are still grieving our beloved Amber’s senseless and brutal murder and we are not
giving up. We know that someone out there has information that could help solve the case,” said
Alexander. https://www.facebook.com/rememberingamberjackson
“The Kaua‘i Police Department remains committed in continuing to seek justice for Amber
Jackson and her family and friends,” said KPD Investigative Services Bureau Assistant Chief Bryson
Ponce. “We want nothing more than to find her killer(s) to bring some peace, closure, and answers as to
why someone would want to harm a woman whom everyone describes as a kind, caring, and sweet
human being.”
The Amber Jackson Justice Group (family and friends of Jackson) is offering a $20,000 reward for
information that leads to the arrest and conviction of her killer.
Anyone with information regarding the disappearance or death of Amber Jackson is encouraged
to contact the Kaua‘i Police Department at (808) 241-1711. Those wishing to remain anonymous can
provide information by calling Crime Stoppers Kaua‘i at (808) 246-8300, submitting a tip at cskauai.org,
