times. the alleged shooter in this case is lindsay aguilar. >> she got into a confrontation with this person and then she called it quits. and then she kind of got away from the situation to remove herself from the area. >> an argument between the two teens started in the early morning hours. witnesses told police 18 year old lindsay aguilar first brutally beat ejdsell, but she wasn't done. >> ejdsell wanted no more of this fight and that's when she ran to this car and locked herself inside. now her friend, so-called friend jesus padilla, was there eventually. he is the one who actually gave lindsay the gun after she asked for it. and as she took that gun into her hands, is when lindsay allegedly fired multiple shots through the window, killing itself.

>> basically, it was giving her ultimatums or threatening to either harm himself or that she'd never see the kid again. and he made these type of statements. >> i think she was killed. i think she was killed, and her body was disposed of. >> when she mysteriously disappeared. highway 29 that runs through the heart of green bay, wisconsin, was under major construction. police and amber's family think she and her unborn baby could be buried somewhere under all of that asphalt. >> i know what a certain person was, where he was working at the time. he had access to that. >> that person is matthew schneider. though he claims he barely knew amber. >> we've pretty much been able to prove that that was a lie, that he did have a sexual relationship with her, and amber thought that he was the father of her child. >> police say amber's phone records, combined with her secret diary read like a road map. they believe all roads lead
