Episode 24: The murder of Amber Hagerman and her legacy


Listen Later

Most people know all about the Amber Alert. Whenever a child is abducted, there is an alert system that appears on our phones and outdoor road signs. It is responsible for saving hundreds of children. The system was legally enacted by President George W. Bush when he signed the 2003 Protect Act. The alert is named after a murdered 9-year-old girl named Amber Hagerman.

In 1996, Amber Hagerman rode her bike in an abandoned parking lot. A witness saw a man in a black truck abduct her. Four days later, Amber's nude body was found in a creek. Her killer had sexually assaulted and tortured her for two days before cutting her throat and dumping her body in a creek.

Today, her murder remains unsolved, but Arlington, Texas police continue trying to find her killer. Since their is no biological evidence, the police are hoping someone will come forward with information that could break this case.
