The history of the Amber Alert
The first Amber Alert was issued on January 13, 1996, after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was reported missing. The body of the little girl who lived in Arlington, Texas, was found four days later in a creek.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children shares the story of a woman in the community who called for a public Emergency Alert System.
Diane Simone wanted community members to be alerted when a child is missing so they could help in the search. She requested it be named after Amber Hagerman, and hence, Amber's Plan was created in her memory.
