| Amber Alert Forum The AMBER Alert System began in 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnaped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and then brutally murdered. Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation. |

Authorities say they have not identified a child's body they found Wednesday in a landfill while searching for a missing 7-year-old girl. Family members were hopeful the girl is still alive, though neighbors in the girl's community feared the worst. The partially covered body of the child was found in a Georgia landfill near the Florida state line, after investigators followed garbage trucks leaving from the neighborhood where Somer Thompson disappeared Monday. It's not looking good. Whether it's Somer or not, it's sad that a child's body has been dumped along with the trash. ![]() Last edited by Peg; 10-22-2009 at 05:02 AM.. Reason: fixed link |

Re: Florida Amber Alert
This sucks!
I wonder if they suspected someone in the neighborhood from the beginning since they followed the garbage trucks or if that is standard procedure. ![]()
