The case has been managed by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, specifically the Coroner Division, which is responsible for investigating deaths that occur under certain circumstances, including those that are unclaimed.

Cases like Amber’s often underscore broader social dynamics, such as isolation or estrangement from family, and present challenges for county officials who are tasked with providing dignified final arrangements for those unclaimed. Efforts to identify next of kin or legal representatives for individuals like Amber are continuous but sometimes fruitless. It remains crucial to spread awareness about such cases in the hope of connecting unclaimed individuals with their kin or community organizations that might step forward to ensure a respectful conclusion to their lives.
