Amber Alert: How a Nine-Year-Old Girl's Murder Created a Child-Rescue System That's Saved Thousands
The Amber Alert system takes its name from Amber Hagerman, a nine-year-old girl abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas in 1996. Her killing prompted local authorities and radio stations to create a rapid public alert system for child abductions, which eventually spread across the US and to many other countries. The system has since helped reunite thousands of missing children with their families.
