Murdered by a Monster Who Shouldn’t Have Been Free
Chelsea King and Amber Dubois were killed by a man already convicted of sex crimes against girls.
It was February 2010, and 17-year-old Chelsea King from San Diego was a senior in high school who looked all set to move on to great things. She was a keen track runner and a bright student who had already applied to 11 colleges in preparation for the following fall.
However, when she failed to return from one of her typical jogs, the desperate ensuing search would not only bring about devastating news for her family, but also solve a missing persons case from a year earlier and a terrifying attack just a few weeks before. This is the story of Chelsea, Amber, Candice — and the predator who shouldn’t have been free to target them in the first place.
Chelsea vanishes
Renowned for its gentle climate and miles of open parkland, the Californian city of San Diego is a runner’s paradise. On February 25th 2010, Chelsea King was making the most of the still-mild winter’s afternoon where she lived by going for a jog along the trails around Rancho Bernando Community Park, as she often did after school and at the weekends.
