Check Out What Appears To Be Amber Guyger's Pinterest Account

In the hours and days between shooting Botham Jean and her name being made public, Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger appeared to scrub as much of her life as possible from the internet. By the time Guyger's name was widely known, she and her family had disappeared from Facebook, Twitter...
Dallas police officers ran to the South Side Flats on the 1200 block of  S. Lamar Street after off-duty Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger entered the wrong apartment after completing a 12-hour shift. Guyger was charged with manslaughter after firing two shots that killed 26-year-old Botham Shem Jean. She presumably walked into Jean's apartment having mistaken it for her own.

In the hours and days between shooting Botham Jean and her name being made public, Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger appeared to scrub as much of her life as possible from the internet. By the time Guyger's name was widely known, she and her family had disappeared from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram — the places inquiring minds would typically look for photos and anything else they could find.

It appears that Guyger failed to sweep up one trail of digital breadcrumbs.

A Pinterest account, under the username "guyger1" and the screen name "amber :)," can be found if one searches for Guyger's name on the website. A woman who looks substantially similar to Guyger appears in the account's profile photo. 
The account features much of what you might expect from a 30-year-old cop. There are boards for "life hacks," "Quotes and inspiration" and images about law enforcement. The woman behind the account is also apparently single, but she is saving ideas for her wedding on a separate board. Each of the boards on the account is between 8 months and a year old.

Given the circumstances and its content, the law enforcement board is the most interesting, but there are other pins of note scattered throughout the account's public posts. Many reflect the "civilians just don't get it" attitude that permeates the online spaces in which law enforcement officers gather, like Thee Rant, PoliceOne and pro-police groups on Facebook.

Incorrect — or at least misleading — statements about President Barack Obama make an appearance, too.

And no social media page is complete without a couple of Minions and complaints about Colin Kaepernick.
