Where is Amber Wright Now? We explain where one of the killers of Seath Jackson is now and who her mother is. This article contains details that some readers might find distressing.
Amber Wright was one of the murderers of the teenager Seath Jackson. She lived in the rural Florida city of Belleview. She and a group of four others conspired to kill him and formed a part of an escalation between Seath, Amber, and Michael Bargo. The conflict was all about Seath and Amber’s relationship and its tragic end.
Seath was only 14 when he started to date Amber, and the two were inseparable. But the pair broke up in March 2011 and got caught up in a social media feud that unfortunately came into real life.
Amber would be the one to lure Seath to his death, and she was later arrested and jailed for her part in the murder. It’s a crime that shocked the local area, especially due to the brutal nature and the age of the assailants.
What happened to Amber Wright?
Seath Jackson was only 15 when his ex-girlfriend Amber, then 15; Amber’s new boyfriend Michael Bargo, then 18; Amber’s stepbrother Kyle Hooper, then 16; Justin Soto, then 20; and Amber’s female friend Charlie Ely, then 18, brutally murdered him in Belleview, a city in Florida in April 2011.
When Amber and Seath broke up with each other, the two exchanged horrible messages with each other on Facebook. Amber then started to date Michael, who incorrectly believed that Seath had abused Amber when they were dating.

At that time, Michael Bargo lived with Charlie Ely and Kyle Hooper in Charlie’s home.
Seath received death threats from Michael a week before his death, and Kyle was upset with Seath because he was in bed with a girl that he liked.
Court documents showed that Kyle had messaged this girl about killing Seath. On April 17, 2011, Michael, Amber, and the others came up with a plan to kill Seath.
Amber would lure Seath to Charlie’s home by messaging him, saying that she wanted to work on their issues and get back together again.
But when Seath arrived, he was ambushed by Michael, Kyle, Justin, and Charlie, who also tortured him. Seath was shot several times with a 22-caliber firearm and was kneecapped.
Seath’s body was dumped in a firepit and burned. The following day, Michael and Justin put the ashes and the remaining body parts into paint buckets and threw them into the water at a nearby quarry.
Amber, Kyle, and Charlie cleaned up the house, but evidence of the crime was later found.
Where is Amber Wright Now?
Amber Wright is currently serving her prison sentence at the Homestead Correctional Institution in Miami-Dade County, Florida. She’ll remain there until her sentence is finished.
How long will Amber Wright serve in prison?
For her part in Seath Jackson’s death, Amber was convicted of first-degree murder and received a life sentence in 2012 from Circuit Judge David Eddy. He said that the murder of Seath was the most heinous crime he had seen in his time as a judge.
This wasn’t the end of it, though. An appellate decision later overturned her conviction, meaning that in 2016, Amber was later brought back for a retrial. But she was again convicted of first-degree murder and handed a life sentence by Circuit Judge Anthony Tatti.

The Ocala StarBanner reported that Judge Tatti had said, “I have not seen or heard anything more despicable than what led to Seath Jackson’s death. I cannot imagine a circumstance any worse, and I pray to my God that the reason behind all this is some chemical imbalance or a brain that hasn’t matured. It’s really hard to deal with the notion that such an evil could exist without an explanation.”
Amber’s sentence will be reviewed in 25 years from when it started, which means that it will be looked at in 2041.
Who is the mother of Amber Wright?
Amber’s mother is called Tracey Wright. She was called by the court to give testimony. Wright explained that she had called Deputy Sheriff David Rasnick to tell him that Kyle Hooper knew something about Seath Jackson’s disappearance.
Tracey Wright was married to Duane Hooper, who also testified in court. He told them what he knew about the events in his neighborhood before the death of Jackson.
He explained that he had previously visited Jackon’s house to try and settle the disputes between him and Michael Bargo Sr, the father of the Seath’s murderer, though Jackson’s parents weren’t home at the time.
Duane Hooper said that he had treated Michael Bargo Jr. like his own son. Close to Seath’s murder, he noticed a change in Bargo’s behavior and suspected drug use.
