Amber Hagerman was a third grader from Arlington, Texas, who disappeared on January 13, 1996, while riding a pink bicycle she had received for Christmas. She and her younger brother Ricky had been visiting their grandparents and were allowed to ride near the house; Ricky left the parking lot and Amber stayed. A neighbor watching through a chain link fence heard her screaming and called police after seeing a black pickup truck — possibly a 1980s or 1990s single-cab, short-wheelbase truck with a clear rear window — and a white or Hispanic man in his 20s or 30s, under 6 feet tall with a medium build and dark hair.

Police arrived within minutes. Amber’s bike was left in the parking lot; four days later, on January 17, her body was recovered from a creek. Investigators believe she was held alive for two days and that her cause of death was cut wounds to the neck. Limited physical evidence survived recovery from the creek, though some DNA was obtained. No arrest has been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone remembers seeing a short-wheelbase single-cab pickup in that Arlington neighborhood on January 13, 1996, please come forward with information.
