- Twenty-six years ago, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman went to ride bikes with her brother Ricky in their hometown of Arlington, Texas and she never came back. While her case was never solved, the little girl’s legacy has been a long one - inspiring the Amber Alerts that have since helped more than 1,000 children return home.

I remember that a woman was interviewed after the little girl was found and she said “why there is weather reports and alerts in the news but not an alert when a child goes missing?” And that’s why the Ambar alert was created in her name.RIP Amber , I hope the responsible for this gets caught.
You think that would be common sense but.. It was Diana Simone she suggested Go to the radio stations An Etc Because they didn't have social media back then An All Other Outlets . Because Amber was killed 48 hours after she was kidnapped so maybe she could have been saved!! If a alert's have went out all over about A black pickup truck white male 20s To 30 Yrs Of Age. God Bless
Whoever it is has to face judgement from a Higher Power. God will get him. Amen🙌🏾
oh my god
Please God
Please put Stewart Kock in prison for murdering this little girl, Amber Hagerman

So sad. Her family deserves justice for who did this to Amber!
It was an Arlington police officer who kidnapped her!! Justice is coming eventually I just don’t know when!!

Stewart Kocker murdered Amber Hagerman
Stewart Kocker should be locked up for killing Amber Hagerman
My mom taught me about Amber. She sparred me the horrible details but made sure I understood how important it is to just look around or keep your eye out
Whenever I see the billboard on the highway that lists what kinda car I always check all the other cars around.
How do you prove an abduction? That’s ridiculous. What stand out there with a camera at all times? That’s so cruel and also the first 24-48 hours are the absolute most critical for those children.
I agree missing or ubducted it don't matter an amber alert will help bring them home to
Arlington police officer kidnapped her and its an actually an easy situation to prove!! Justice is coming!! Arlington police are going to face humility with the situation
I hope you all make some sense to me and others soon because huh,a police killed her? No one anywhere stated this and ,I don't get any of ya all,
It wss someone who very well knew the neighborhood and looks like they knew the family and was scoping them out!!!
It's been 27 years. I wish this bastard is caught. He took a beautiful 9 year old girl from this world. 😢 I hope 1 day Amber gets justice. ❤❤❤ As well as Jaclyn Dowaliby ❤❤❤
Admittedly I never knew that Amber Alerts were named after a missing/murdered child. This is insane. There’s so much to learn still in the true crime community and I’m both glad and upset that I am apart of it. I hope we can collectively start to make a bigger change for the victims of these true crime stories. Justice for all, respect and peace be with their loved ones for years to come 🥀
U must be young
Well yeah your generation doesn’t have normal names so understandable…
@@MsTinkerbelle87 your comment makes ZERO sense. literally. wtf are you talking about?!?!
As technology continues to develop in advancements of science in medical, law enforcement & birth documentations. You'll supposed the future will be more like the movie JudgeDread? and all people will documented with DNA profiling
Must Be A Yr 2000 Baby
I wish there was something for teens or young adults missing… nothing is labeled for teens or young adults when disappear 😢
They do amber alerts for teens I got an amber alert sent to my phone for a 17 year old girl that was taken by some man I'm not sure about other states tho but I know they use the amber alert for teens here in tennessee
Not for 18 or 19… young adults. 17 is still a minor that falls under the amber alert system still
I’m in TN as well. And it almost takes 24 hours just to get the amber alert out. Every state has different channels. But our local police, TBI and then FBI has to approve
Personally I think if anybody is missing they should find them weather there a child or not. Nobody should never ever get murdered!
@@abigailcunningham379 you missed the point of my comment… of course everyone deserves to be found and brought home regardless the circumstances…. My point in this comment is the fact there are amber alerts for children… 18-64 is nothing… 65 and up is a silver alert. Yes there should be a bill passed as an adult alert or something
And to think that the killer might actually be walking right in front of her memorial on a daily, given that it could possibly be someone from the same area.
That's crazy he was never caught
Especially with advances in forensics/DNA technology.
@@addicted367 yes, exactly
@@addicted367 Plus having an eye witness. You'd think this guy could have gotten caught in the matter of hours.
If the killer is watching: karma is always around the corner,hope it has already caught you

Amber went missing right across the street from where my mom would take us shopping when I was a kid. We always drove by her her memorial.
RIP Amber.
November 25th, 1986 died: January 17, 1996 cause of death: Murder
I just wondered, the never found this truck. They said he must be a local. I my opinion, the truck never exists. The only eye witness brought this story up. If the abductor was a local, the truck must be found. Dig deeper and think about the eye witness. What about he brought thus story up to cover his crime.
They should exhume the mans remains, the man who said he witnessed the kidnapping. He should be the main person of interest being HE WAS THE LAST PERSON TO SEE HER ALIVE, so how did they eliminate him as a witness? I read in the comments he was an ex cop. They should also interview his family and see how he was acting after her body was found. If it were my family, I would not care if they exhume my loved ones remains especially if there was a possibilty they were involved in a childs rape and death...and I just read the report. What the witness said does not sit right with me. He said, “He pulled up, jumped out and grabbed her. When she screamed, I figured the police ought to know about it, so I called them.” Jimmie Kevil, ex navy an sheriffs deputy, saw her riding her bike alone up and down, then minutes after her brother left saw her get kidnapped and "figured" the police ought to know about it." Something is not right with that.
I remember when this happened. I lived in Texas at that time. I am so glad you are shedding some light on where the Amber Alert came from , and her killer never being caught.
Amber Alerts need to go out ASAP, no more waiting.
The Amber Alert is international now.
We need to have Ambler alerts sent out right away for all kids that went missing
I hope the one(s) responsible pay for their crimes!!!!! Poor little girl!
I pray the killer gets caught one day, rest in peace little one....
Justice has to de served.God protect all children and make justice for Amber an angel in heaven .
I pray all the time for this family. God bless them for there work. This man who took this little girls life. This man is sick Individual I would have so many questions to ask him so many whys. This girl deserves Justice praying that time comes ❤️
I’m crying right now because this girl needs justice…
I would go back to the documentary makers. There was no evidence of sexual abuse, she was obviously targeted. Someone seemed to know where she would be. Who had the most to gain? A documentary about a family on welfare, or the very first documentary in history to see a real life murder happening whilst being filmed? Which would make the most money? Now, with the new documentary featuring some of that footage, even more money can be collected.
I believe there was sexual abuse. It was reported she had been kept alive for 2 days and she had been sexually assaulted.
I swear if I had to make a birthday wish it would have to be world peace such as peace for kids, country’s, I can’t believe people like this would do anything like this with no reason for murder.
4 days waiting for an Amber Alert 💔 We will NEVER be desensitized, trust me!!
They should issue an amber alert for a child that is missing no matter what I don't care if they think their just missing or not those children deserve the same amber alert as the ones who were taken. Cause someone could have seen them to
The limitation is difficult and frustrating but the idea of issuing one is that there are details on a vehicle/vehicle plate and/or person for the public to look for. It started out on the highway signs. If they issue an alert too often when there is no way the public can help the fear is that people may stop paying attention to Amber Alerts or shut the phone notification off altogether. The Amber Alert doesn't really have to do with what the police think has happened. It's whether they can provide details that can help the public find the child.
@@SheilaLS I'm sorry that I can't agree with you cause I'm a mom of 3 and as a mother my kids would deserve the same. Amber alert as anybody else cause kids get curious and wonder off they could walk by somebody or have been seen walking somewhere it shouldn't matter because either way somebody somewhere could very well have seen a missing child no matter what...... you can give details of what they were wearing what color clothes they have on plum down to the kind and color of their shoes hair and eyes it don't have to be a vehicle or a tag number theirs more ways than one to describe a missing child no matter the situation
@@countrymom2023 Yes they certainly can and do put those descriptions out as they should and search immediately locally but I'm referring specifically to how the Amber Alert was intended. It refers specifically to an abducted child vehicle description and suspect description intended to alert people what to watch for on the roads to help recover the child asap. In this way a much wider area of people can be alerted to watch for that plate etc. I get alerts from vast areas of Texas east of where I live in New Mexico because I live near interstate 10 as well as my own area. It's only one tool used to help but if you broaden its mission it will lose effectiveness. It's not whether a child deserves something. They all deserve to be found and protected. A missing child is not necessarily an abducted child. Someone witnessing a parental or stranger abduction reports the vehicle and suspect information and the Amber Alert is issued. Perhaps something needs to be developed to bridge the gap between local authorities and Amber Alert. I don't know what that would be but I just wish with all my heart kids could be safe and not need any of this.
new info for me, thank you.
I've seen the movie sad story
Thank you for sharing Amber's story and how Amber Alerts came about. I somehow thought it was related to Adam Walsh, didn't know it was a real little girl. I hope for her Mom there will be an answer soon. In my state, there isn't any hesitation, as soon as LE knows a child has been taken, the Amber Alert goes live.
Code Adam was named after Adam Walsh. If you lose a child in a store, tell security and they will do a Code Adam, informing customers over loud speaker a child is missing and they will do security checks at all exits.
I just feel so heartbroken for her family
So the solution is underuse then? Unbelievable
No little girl deserves that really
I can’t imagine having a child and not knowing where they are
Soooo do they have to have a video for proof? That's dumb
I also feel bad for the man that witness Amber being taken from so far away. To live with that the rest of your life knowing justice was never served that's a heavy burden to carry. I would feel horrible if I witnessed something like that and couldn't do anything.
Kind of weird that no one in the parking lot saw anything, but this man sitting across the street witnessed it??
@@addicted367 I believe it was a vacant parking lot of a closed grocery store. There wasn't people around. It was very secluded.
He passed away like four months after Amber was abducted. :(
@@vickieclark5931 it wasn’t vacant. There was a laundromat in the complex and police believe they’re could’ve been patrons who witnessed the kidnapper, his truck, maybe the abduction, but were afraid to report anything to police out of fear of deportation.
@@addicted367 Right! And he was very slow in making a call to the police.😪
We have to go through all this advertising solicitation to get Amber updates? WHY????
Apparently she was beat an assault for two days and her body was so messed up when they found it that they couldn't identify her
I went to her funeral and she was not beaten beyond recognition. Her face was just as beautiful as the pictures I lived a few blocks away from her.
Every time I hear an Amber alert I look up and think of little Amber..we love you Amber!! 🙏
Odd she and her family had been followed by a camera crew just months before her murder. I woukd would hope they have investigated each and every person that was involved recording them. I hope the police didn’t get tunnel vision and only looked for a black truck.
I remember this in the news I was a senior in high school.
Sometimes I wish there was a hunter that would track down serial killers such as the one that killed Amber track them down and kill them and do this to a bunch of serial killers but then when you think about it it would become one of those situations you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain cuz you either die knowing that you brought so many people Justice or live long enough that you see that you're just as bad as the serial killers
Sound is Horrible. Echo.
Why is the guy that reported her being snatched not a suspected he could of done it and covered his tracks he knows too much
The elderly man who witnessed the abduction could barely walk and saw it happen at a distance, through his backyard chainlink fence. His eye sight was not the best, and what he did make out, was only the color of the truck, and that it was a Hispanic or white man with dark hair. He died four months later. We should be asking why no one in the laundromat, which was right in that parking lot, ever came forward with anything they saw. At the time, police figured witnesses were afraid of getting deported, but since then, they’ve explicitly stated that they don’t care about immigration status.
Rip lil angel
😢😢
I watch the video and never had the police investigated the first witness. That’s just odd to me. Also his house was right behind the abduction. What bother me was during the video I saw that man Fance was high. How did he see through the fance and saw the abduction. I believe he was a former deputy, if I was a former deputy I would have try to go after the kidnapper myself! Just some thoughts. Justice for Amber! PS I believe they said the man is dead. So I don’t know what evidence they can find now 😢.
Did they find the black truck?
I feel so bad
Her younger brother, Ricky returned home, whilst Amber continued riding her bicycle
Very sad they still have not solved Amber's case.
It does not work enough.
I get tons… of Amber Alerts… and it saddens me… but if it wasn’t for these Amber Alerts no child would be found…and I’m grateful for that alert, it saves children… but to think that there are such sick people that take children… for absolutely no reason but to torture and MURD3R them… some people make me sick…
I agree. They willl definitely have to answer to god very soon.
I’m predicting Amber will never get a justice😩
Why in 2023 have we not found that child killer?
The alert helps so many.
Lamo
RIP
R i p amber have fun in haven:(
I cant even watch this without crying. This little girl had to lose her life and her mom had to struggle while mourning to get a law passed. Thank you donna for your tears, effort, and not giving up. I know for a fact when kidnappers see that amber alert...they know they're cornered❤❤❤😢😢
This case sounds similar to the Jennifer Schuett case Amber's case was in 1996 and Jennifer's case was in 1990 Jennifer was 8 years old at the time of her kidnapping Amber was 9 years old at the time of her kidnapping they were both found with their throats cut and both kidnappings happened in Texas Amber was taken in Arlington Texas and Jennifer was taken in Dickinson Texas just 4 hours away from each other and they look identical the differences are that Jennifer was taken from her bedroom window in the middle of the night she was found 12 hours later in a field 4 miles from her house barely alive with her throat cut she survived and her kidnapper was found 19 years later thanks to the advances in forensic DNA testing Amber was taken in the middle of the day while riding her bike in a nearby parking lot just blocks away from her house unfortunately she was dead when the police found her and the person who kidnapped and murder her still hasn't been caught I'm praying that they will be able to find the person who was responsible for Amber's murder and disappearance like they did for Jennifer DNA testing has improved a lot over the years and I'm hopeful that they will be able to solve a lot more cold cases as Technology advances
Oh my gosh your right. What a coincidence. Their situations were very similar. They looked so similar too and were close in age
in my opinion only, what if the killer its just a family member
Never forget amber hagerman
Amber Hagerman, she's not a little girl anymore. She's an angel 😇!
I'll watch this again
She was a young girl riding on the streets
The scariest thing to me has always been they never ever got a good look at this creep to provide a sketch no one ever came forward with suspicions of someone. If I recall correctly it didn’t happen again how it happened to amber in AR. The pervert just vanished yet, he’s still out there if he I sn’t rotting in hell yet. Very scary. this is why those animals need to be locked up forever or executed. Still sowing fear in communities especially when they r faceless.
Was that the same man that took misty too??
The mans name is pan man from Arlington,tx
U sure
Her story is just so vile
I got one and sent it to places hmm..yup 💯
This happened 2 days before my second birthday
Little white girl gone missing and people made a alert after her name. Asian, black, Mexican, and Muslim little girls and boy gone missing all the time and don't dont even get this name on the news. Lmao
There killer probably got caught but amber was murder and her killer was never got caught sooo that’s why
So everything has to be racial today? Guess what? I am white. When there was a war in my country and when someone was trying to kill me, did you know my name? Did you care? You didn't
In Loving Memory Of:
Amber Hagerman
😢😢😢
Is this DNA in Codis and other DNA systems?
Pretty sure, it was an evil cop....with all of her mom's info being televised...I wonder, did they EVER look THERE?!
The footage never aired, if anything, could of been someone from the crew.
Think about the future...
So, Sir what if I told you I can cut the murder rate of children in half within 2 years. Would you be interested?
Right now, I'm trying to build enough power so I can take over control of our government and justice system and put in effect my new laws. The one that will apply to this case would be called The Shaka Zulu Law.
This law will state that if a child under the age of 18 is killed or murdered and there is no dead guardian who attempted to protect that child then both biological parents at that dead child funeral will be placed in the grave with their child and buried alive. I promise you once the videos of parents screaming while they are being buried is shown on news stations in 2 years the rate of child murders will be cut in half. This is just one of the laws I will put in effect once I come into power. I have about 6 more. ....................GRIM
😢🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
😱
An innocent young one had already been robbed of living
I know who killer is it’d an Austin singer
I suspect that the man who made the report about the black truck is most likely responsible for the kidnapping, sexual assault and murder
he was an ex cop who knew how the investigation would most likely go and he probably used that Black truck as a red herring
You covet what you see (Silence of the Lambs)... he could see when kids were playing there, and probably had been waiting for someone to be left alone
Her remains were dumped nearby
He died two months later
I don't know if that's ever been looked into but I don't see anything about the cause of his death. Suicide perhaps feeling guilty or that he was afraid of being caught.
He was almost blind and a very old man at the time. No way he could’ve done it.
Yeah dumb shit instead of blaming old man in this crime how about blame you self lol
@@zakironldo4783 I think that he may have been involved or working with someone... or someone else who could see that there were kids back there.. and that she was alone.
You covet what you see!!! silence of the lambs
The person who kidnapped her was an Arlington police officer but it had nothing to do with the witness!!
