The rape survivor that Amber (Danielle MacDonald) is based on was, in 2011, a 26-year-old engineering student in Golden, Colorado. She helped Galbraith and Hendershot link a series of rape cases to a perpetrator who wore a black mask, used a pink camera, and targeted women living alone. The two officers connected the Golden case with other ones in Aurora, Lakewood, Kirkland, and Westminster based on the suspect's MO and trace DNA. Besides Amber, we also meet the other survivors on Unbelievable.
