S. 8 Episode 10: Amber Hagerman's Legacy: The Story Behind the AMBER Alert

In this week's episode, Ashley discusses the abduction and murder of Amber Hagerman, a 9 year old child from Arlington, TX in 1996. Her case led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system as well as the national sex offenders registry list amongst many other positive law changes involving how we treat child abductions. We discuss some of the laws plus international variations of the AMBER alert system. Amber's case is considered a cold case. If you have any information please contact the Arlington Police Department or Crime Stopper's anonymous hotline.Resources:1.      https://www.fox4news.com/news/amber-hagerman-alert-anniversary2.      https://people.com/what-happened-to-amber-hagerman-118837083.       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert4.      https://www.missingkids.org/blog/2021/still-searching-for-ambers-killer5.      https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/amber-hagerman-amber-alert-system/269-f881cfac-8c55-4665-989c-97157bfa9def6.      https://www.fox7austin.com/news/amber-hagerman-murder-amber-alert-missing-in-texas7.      https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/iii674/extensive_write_up_the_murder_of_amber_hagerman/8.      https://amberalert.ojp.gov/news/active-AMBER-alerts9.      https://www.missingkids.org/gethelpnow/amber10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_offender_registries_in_the_United_States11. https://www.fox13now.com/good-day-utah/its-amber-alert-awareness-day-heres-how-the-emergency-system-impacts-utah12. https://thebarbedwire.com/2026/01/13/amber-alert-30th-anniversary/Please like, follow, and share this podcast - we're on all of the platforms!
