The AMBER Alert Abduction: How One Girl's Tragic Death Inspired this Life-Saving System

The AMBER Alert Abduction: How One Girl's Tragic Death Inspired this Life-Saving System

Every child remembers riding around the neighborhood on their bikes with their siblings or friends. You felt free, you could go as fast as you wanted, and you could do it for hours without getting tired. Most parents, however, usually have two rules when it comes to riding your bikes: Don't go too far and stay together. This is what Donna Williams told her two kids, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman and 5-year-old Ricky Hagerman. They agreed to follow these rules and set off on their bike ride. But kids will be kids, and they decided to push the boundaries a little. Ricky, afraid of getting in trouble, decided they should head back to the neighborhood, as they had strayed away from where they were supposed to be. Ricky heads back to his grandparents' house, assuming Amber was right behind him. All seemed normal and Ricky felt like they had dodged being caught. That was, until, he turned around and realized he was in his grandparents' yard alone. Amber was nowhere to be found. Take a DEEP DIVE to find out how a young girl's tragic kidnapping and murder inspired the creation of a revolutionary database dedicated to finding missing children.
