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.

ELKHART, Ind. -- A mother and her four children were found safe Tuesday night at a motel, three days after police said they were abducted by the woman's former boyfriend.

Wargo said investigators were able to trace the family to the Sleepy Hollow motel on the city's north side because Walker had made three calls to family members from a nearby pay phone saying they were safe.
