The Amber Alert system is named in memory of nine-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas in 1996. Her body was located four days after she was reported missing. She had been brutally murdered. These events inspired Dallas-Forth Worth broadcasters to team with local law enforcement, creating a warning system to aid in the search for abducted children.
