In 1996, Amber Hagerman was kidnapped and murdered and now her death is remembered nationwide through the Amber Alert program. Amber's image became so widely known during the investigation following her abduction that the local police chief would later call her "Arlington's child."

The AMBER Alert program began in Texas in 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters teamed up with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. It has had a significant impact in bringing abducted children home.
