Amber Hagerman was a 9-year-old girl from Arlington, Texas, whose tragic abduction and murder in 1996 led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system. On January 13, 1996, Amber was abducted while riding her bicycle near her grandparents' home. A witness saw a man pull her into his truck and called the police, but despite efforts to find her, Amber's body was discovered four days later in a nearby creek. Her killer has never been found.

Amber's case deeply affected the community and inspired the development of the AMBER Alert system (America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response) in her memory. The system uses emergency broadcasts and other alerts to quickly notify the public when a child has been abducted, helping to increase the chances of a safe recovery.

The AMBER Alert system has since expanded across the U.S. and internationally, credited with saving hundreds of children's lives.
