Recently unsealed court documents show police have at least two persons of interest in the investigation into the disappearance of Amber Wilde.
Wilde was a 19-year-old student at UW Green Bay when she disappeared. She was 4 months pregnant at the time. She was reported missing in September of 1998. Eight days later her car was found in the parking lot of Lambeau Field.
In May of this year, those documents named the father of her unborn baby as a person of interest and also renamed the case as a homicide investigation. .
Now a man described as a friend of the unborn child's father is also named as a person of interest.
Both men have been known to the family and also the police since early in the investigation but unsealing the documents makes it open knowledge to the public.
NBC26 is not using the names because neither men have been formally charged in the case.
Amber's father, Steve Wilde, says while it is good to have new information he will not be optimistic about the case until he gets the call an arrest has been made.
Until then, the rest of the family remains hopeful and Amber's grandmother Jane Wilde says she helps keep Amber's story alive through pictures and posters.
Jane Wilde is glad that the names are finally surfacing as part of the investigation, and believes someone who knows more about the case will be able to lead police to new evidence.
