Information about a decade-old cold case in Manatee County could come with a big reward.
The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office and the Gold Star Club of Manatee County are offering a $10,000 reward to anybody with information on the death of 16-year-old Amber Woods.
The teen’s body was found in February 2006 off of State Road 62, three miles west of the Hardee County line, deputies said.
Law enforcement said Woods died from a gunshot wound. Investigators said they did dozens of interviews but were never able to make an arrest.
Deputies said they think Woods left her home on her own and was not abducted.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 747-3011 Ext. 2551 or Crime Stoppers toll free at 866-634-TIPS.
