Studying abroad in London, Amber Berbiglia meets Jose Tolsar, and comes back home in love. After two years of dating, Amber and Jose make plans to marry weeks after she graduates from college.  One Friday afternoon, Amber Berbiglia leaves her apartment to pay bills and run errands. She stops for a fill up at Murphy Gas in North Charleston.   Amber is on her phone texting until 2:30pm and is due at work at 4pm, but doesn't show up. A co-worker calls to find out why she isn't at work yet, but the phone call goes to Amber's voicemail.   

On a Friday, a call comes in to 911. The caller says there appears to be an injured person outside of a car located on Old Sanders Road under the Robert Edge Parkway overpass in North Myrtle Beach. Officers arrive quickly and find the woman laying next to her still running car, and no witnesses. The woman has a cell phone inches away from her fingertips that is actively beeping with missed calls, texts, and email messages.

First responders find a female victim laying outside her still running car. Injuries to her face are so severe, at first glance it appears she has been shot in the face. The woman has dies before help arrives and no witnesses are around to provide any context for what has taken place. Investigators find the victim's purse inside the car with money still in it and rule out robbery as a motive. They also find the victim's identification, Amber Berbiglia.
