UPDATE I: Hope Dim in Finding Amber Chantel Elkins, Mom says her behavior was unusual and she had new friends.
Her daughter, 20-year-old Amber Chantel Elkins, seemed out of character, hanging out with a new crowd including a new boyfriend, none of whom Kilpatrick knew very well. [...]
Elkins, who has a 9-month-old daughter, was last seen Sunday evening. Kilpatrick said Elkins was supposed to go to court the next morning to fill out paperwork for the beginning of custody hearings concerning her own daughter, Ava Ferrata, whose father had refused to return the infant after a visit. But Elkins never showed up to the hearing.
“She was trying to get her baby back,” Kilpatrick said.
UPDATE II: 31 year old James David Clark, boyfriend of missing Amber Alkins arrested for her murder. Clark has been booked at the Harris County jail. He is not the father of her children. Just another example of yet another senseless murder. James David Clark has a past record that includes assault, theft and drug charges. Seems like boyfriend material to me. What a sad, sad, situation.

Harris County LE must have enough information to make a charge of murder against the boyfriend.
Now the boyfriend needs to give up the information as to what he did with the body.
I feel sorry for her parents. A twenty year old with a child and divorced who suddenly changes her friends and plays the secret game has entered the realm of danger.
[...] Elkins vanished a week ago. [...]
