When Amber Hagerman was abducted in 1996, there was a witness who saw a man and a distinctive car near where she was taken. But there was no way to get this information out to the mass public in time, and to this day, the mystery of what happened to Amber still remains. But her story changed the way the country handles child abductions and a precedent to issue an Amber Alert in situations like hers was made.
