Amber is remembered by friends and family as a bright, kind and energetic young girl. But for the United States and in some way, many other countries across the globe, her legacy lives on in the AMBER Alert system. Over one thousand children have been saved from abduction and returned to their families because of this system.
Join us as we discuss this precious little girl and how she lives on through the emergency alert system that bares her name.
Sadly, Amber’s case has never been solved and the man responsible has not been brought to justice. It’s been 29 years and there is still hope that it can be solved.
If anyone has information on Amber’s abduction or murder, there is a number to call. 817-575-8823 will connect you to the Arlington Police Department.
This week, we featured a sneak peek into another podcast. Please give Simone with 90s Crime Time a listen. It is available anywhere you listen to podcasts. Tell her Jess & Brice sent you!
