40 Unsolved Mysteries: https://youtu.be/q2etXJESahI

Amber Hagerman was a 9-year-old girl living in Arlington Texas. She was just like any other young girl. She was a part of the Girl Scouts and loved riding her bike with her 5 year old brother.

On January 13, 1996, Amber Hagerman was driving her bike in the parking lot of an abandoned store. There was only one witness that saw what happened next, Jimmie Kevil.

There was a man driving a black pickup truck. He got out and pulled Amber off her bike and put her into the cab of the truck. She screamed and kicked at the attacker.

Jimmie Kevil immediately called the police. There was 50 police officers and federal agents looking for Amber.

Unfortunately 5 days after she disappeared a passerby found Amber's body in a creek. Her throat was cut. The police believed that her body was swept by a thunderstorm into the creek.

Apartment maintenance workers in the area didn't see anything strange before the thunderstorm. Amber's parents Donna Whitson and Richard Hagerman were distraught when the police officers told them the news.

Amber's dad even told the media that his daughter was still alive after the police left their house.

To this day the person responsible for Amber's death has never been caught. Detectives still gets leads every now and then however and they try to remain positive.

A few days after Amber's funeral a woman named Diane Simone called into a local radio station with an idea she had. She thought that since local media could send out weather alerts they could also send out alerts for missing children.

Since 1996 the Amber Alert system has gone nationwide. More than 800 children have been found safe thanks to the alert.

This is an extremely sad case, which did lead to something great however. Let me know down in the comment section below if you have ever seen an Amber Alert before?
