Florida woman Amber Renee Estep's body was found on January 20 after she was reported missing by her mother a day back

A horrific discovery was made by a property owner who found missing woman Amber Renee Estep lying dead off a roadway on Saturday, January 20. The same has been confirmed by Brevard County Sheriff's Office officials in a press conference on Thursday, January 25, 2024. The girl was first reported missing by her mother and was last seen by her husband, with whom she argued while returning from a doctor's appointment.

During an interview with investigating officers, Brian mentioned that he had dropped his wife off by a highway since she requested him to do so after the alleged argument. On January 19, after Brian's interview, authorities got a report of a burning vehicle that later turned out to be Brian's pickup truck. Police are trying to understand the reason behind the fire. They are investigating the same, along with the State Fire Marshal’s Office.

Law&Crime reported a statement given by Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey during the press conference on Thursday. Ivey said,

"Now, as many of you have seen on social media, and some of you have even shared with our agency, within several hours after our agents interviewed (Brian) Estep, his pickup truck was found in Port St. John completely engulfed in flames."
