The Amber Hagerman Story

On January 13, 1996, nine-year-old Amber Rene Hagerman (November
25, 1986 – January 17, 1996) was abducted while riding her bike in
Arlington, Texas. A neighbor who witnessed the abduction
called the police, and Amber’s brother Ricky went home to tell his
mother and grandparents what happened. It’s often believed
that Hagerman’s murderer kept her alive for at least two days.
Richard Hagerman and Amber’s mother, Donna Whitson (now Donna
Norris), called the news media and the FBI. The Whitsons and their
neighbors began searching for Amber. Four days after the abduction,
near midnight, her body was found in a creek behind an apartment
complex – with cut wounds to her neck. The site of the discovery
was less than five miles from where she went missing. There are no
suspects to her abduction and homicide. Learn more about your ad
