Her husband, Matthew Tjaden, was then arrested on January 29 on the run to avoid arrest and child neglect after a deputy attorney general in Cass County went to their home to investigate.
Tjaden reportedly placed bail on Monday.
A black SUV of Amber Tjaden was found on a remote road on Friday. Shortly afterwards, a body was found.
The sheriff of Otoe province did not disclose the identity of the person found, but family members of Tjaden went to Facebook to announce her death.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my mother’s car has been found and that she has been found near and past,” her daughter, Savannah Suttle, wrote on the social media platform.

Amber Tjaden’s brother-in-law, Mike Lewis, also used the online platform to thank everyone who helped with her search.
“Through all your communication and placement, we were able to help the investigation and finally come to a conclusion, and therefore I sincerely thank you for your help,” Lewis said.
According to court records obtained by the Omaha World Herald, Amber Tjaden filed protection orders against her husband on two separate occasions in 2015.
She noticed that her husband would “rant and rave”, and was paranoid about cars driving by their house. Her petitions also allege aggressive behavior, noting that he would have hit walls, broken photo frames and threatened to kill her and her father, the newspaper reported.
