######## LICENSED EXCLUSIVELY UNTIL NOV OF 2023 ####################### On the afternoon of January 13th, 1996, Amber Hagerman, 9, and her brother, Ricky, 5, along with their mother, Donna Hagerman, were in town visiting their grandparents, Jimmy and Glenda Whitson. Amber and Ricky spent time playing in the parking lot. And after a while, Ricky decided to head back home, leaving his sister to enjoy cycling on her own. Minutes later, Amber was abducted. Four days after Amber’s kidnapping, a man walking his dog stumbled upon her body in a creek behind Forest Hills Apartments, an apartment complex less than five miles from the parking lot where Amber had last been seen riding her bike. An autopsy later revealed that Amber had been kept alive for two days after being taken. She had been beaten and sexually assaulted before her throat was cut and her body was tossed into the creek. Amber’s murder remains unsolved.
