Amber Rene Hagerman, 9, was abducted while riding her bike in Texas in 1996. Her naked body was found in a creek with severe laceration wounds to her neck. Amber's parents established People Against Sex Offenders (PASO) to raise awareness of sex offenders. Amber Alerts were sent to radio stations, television stations, surrounding law enforcement agencies, newspapers and local support organizations. Alerts sent all at once via pagers, faxes, emails, and cell phones with the information immediately posted on the Internet for the general public to view.
