On January 13, 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was riding her pink bicycle through an abandoned grocery-store parking lot in Arlington, Texas, when a black pickup pulled in. A witness watched a man grab her, force her into the truck, and drive away. Four days later, Amber was found murdered. Investigators would eventually learn something even more devastating: she may have remained alive for as long as two days after she was abducted. At the time, police had no way to instantly warn every driver, television viewer, and radio listener in North Texas what vehicle to look for.
Ten days after Amber vanished, one woman called a radio station with a simple question: why not use the emergency broadcast system for missing children?
Tonight, we tell the story of Amber Hagerman, the unsolved murder that still haunts Arlington, and how one black pickup truck changed the way the world searches for abducted children.
