They had last been seen alive around 8am Wednesday when they left their home in Forney to attend a park playdate with friend in Grapevine, but failed to show.
Family and friends told InForney that they were immediately worried about Chamber's disappearance because of her history with drug and alcohol abuse.
A family member, who wished not to be identified, told the outlet she also struggled with bouts of depression which had been exacerbated recently by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and caused her to relapse.
