Episode 22: Amber Hagerman

Amber was 9 years old when she was abducted from a parking lot near her grandparent's house.  Law enforcement and the community rallied immediately to find Amber.  In a time when there was no way to put out alerts to notify the community to be on the lookout, this town rallied.  Join us as we share Amber’s story and how the family changed how information about missing children is shared with the community by creating the “Amber Alert”.
