School staff at Grove Elementary in Tulsa, Oklahoma last saw twelve-year-old Amber Nicole Drummond on March 30th, 1994. Her mother, Priscilla Toussaint, came and removed her from class that day. The next day Amber disappeared. Priscilla reported Amber missing after she sent her to the store for cake mix on April 1st and Amber never returned. It was Priscilla’s 33rd birthday. At the time the family resided at 8102 E. 63rd St. They had moved to Tulsa from Youngstown, Ohio the year before.

On April 5th, 1994, authorities found Amber’s body on city property behind a water tank at 61st and Sheridan Rd. Cause of death was asphyxiation as a result of duct tape covering her mouth and nose. At the time they found them, authorities estimated that her remains had been at the dump site for 24-48 hours. The location of her body was 1.2 miles from her home. After the murder DHS took custody of Priscilla’s son Samuel, Amber’s little brother. No reason why was publicly given.

People described Amber as a ‘very intelligent girl’ who knew not to get into cars with strangers. Additionally, she was a good athlete and loved to read. Moreover, she loved everyone. However, in July of 1996, Priscilla was wanted for the kidnapping of a toddler named Aurienn Jones. According to newspapers, she was related to the child somehow. Subsequently, she took him from his home in Youngstown, Ohio, and boarded a bus for what investigators believed was Tulsa, Oklahoma. Nevertheless, authorities found no other information regarding the kidnapping.

Law enforcement named Priscilla as a suspect in Amber’s murder, but stated there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute her.
