EXTRA! Jan. 13, 1996: Amber Hagerman Abducted


Ten-year-old Amber Hagerman of Arlington, TX, was last seen riding her bike on January 13. 1996. Eyewitness testimony said that a man in a black pickup truck grabbed her from the parking lot where she was playing and sped off. Her body was found four days later. Despite the additional efforts of the FBI, the culprit has never been found.

Hagerman's abduction inspired both the national sex offender register and the AMBER alert system, which aids in helping to locate missing children.
