Death & Legacy
Amber Hagerman was a young girl whose abduction and murder led to the creation of the Amber Alert system. On January 13, 1996, she was kidnapped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas. Her body was found four days later. In response to her death, a local resident suggested to radio stations that they broadcast alerts when a child is abducted, similar to the severe weather alerts. This idea led to the development of the Amber Alert system, which is now used nationwide to help locate missing children.
