Show Notes
In 1996, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted while riding her bike in Arlington, Texas. Her disappearance shocked the nation and her mother's fight for justice led to the creation of the USA's AMBER Alert system, now credited with saving over a thousand children.
This episode unpacks the haunting details of Amber's final moments, the community's search and how an important legacy was born from a tragedy.
