28 years ago today, Amber was kidnapped while riding her bike with her brother just outside of Dallas, Texas. Her body was found about a week later. This tragic loss of life led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system which now operates internationally to ensure a quick and speedy response - as well as leveraging the public’s eyes and ears - when children go missing.
