Jun 15

In 1996, Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas. Today her case remains unsolved. While her death was horrific and tragic there was a silver lining, the creation of the Amber Alert System.

If you have any information about Amber’s abduction or murder, please call Arlington PD detectives at 817-575-8823. There is currently a $10K reward offered by Oak Farms Dairy, for new information leading to an arrest and indictment.
