She was reported as being missing June 11 at about 10:30 p.m. by her grandmother, who Amber lives with. The grandmother reported that Amber left this past Saturday, June 6, at about lunchtime to go camping at the Uwharrie National Forest in Montgomery County. Torrence advised she was going camping with someone, but did not provide information as to who it was, or any information as to the exact location of where her campsite would be. The grandmother said Torrrence is an avid camper and has been camping in the Uwharries many times. She left with a camping-style backpack with extra clothes, wallet, money, food, water and other various camping items.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Forestry Service and other search and rescue personnel were called in to assist with the search.
