--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In January 1996, Amber Hagerman was riding her bicycle on a warm Saturday afternoon when a neighbour heard the girl scream. He saw a man pull Amber off her bike, throw her into the front seat of his pickup truck, and drive away at high speed.

While he was able to give police a description of the suspect and his vehicle, he was unable to provide much else. Arlington Police and the FBI interviewed other neighbours and searched for the suspect and vehicle. Local radio and TV stations covered the story in their regular broadcasts.

Four days later, Amber’s body was found in a drainage ditch four miles away. Her throat had been cut. Her kidnapping and murder remain unsolved.
