Description

Have you ever wondered why Amber Alerts started? How the idea came about? I know I have so I started digging. In 1996 a little girl named Amber Hagerman was abducted while riding her bike without a trace of evidence left behind. Just four days later she was found, beaten, bruised and dead. It's been 26 years since this case began and they have had 8000 leads but still are empty handed.
