#9 Amber...Alert!











Kidnapping a child has always a tragic outcome for a victim, the child is murdered, assaulted, harassed hours after it has been gone. The case of Amber Hagerman had been long and its end was fatal for her, her closest relatives, everyone who had been involved in the search and help.



Amber and her brother were cycling toward the abandoned grocery, Amber was heading for it at the front, her brother, turned back just a block of flats away from it. There were many witnesses who had seen Amber cycling back and forth, all the way long … there was also an eye witness who saw the kidnapping. Shortly after it happened he called the police. The search was instant. 





By the time Amber’s brother reached home, the police had already been there, questioning Amber’s grandfather and the locals. The police tried to explain the motive, the reason, the possible Amber's location, they were almost sure it was a random grab, an impulse, the kidnapper simply decided “It is She”. Four tremendously difficult days … and an outrageous discovery, the Amber’s body had been found. She died on January 17, 1996 . 





During the autopsy, the truth had been revealed, the girl had been sexually assaulted, she lived for two days before she died, before the nightmare eased.



The investigation had many angels, the FBI traced many traits,  none of them directly led to the murder. The killer had not been found. However the case is not cold … the police believes one day, the right day comes ….

Chemical Weapon

                                                Chemical weapon is the most dreadful of all weapons of mass destruction. Its power and devastating input could be seen and be very much aware of in Iran and Iraq. Its overwhelming impact on human body was reported and acknowledged in 1984. Early 1980s Iran and Iraq were fighting over the land and domination over the ideology and oil fields – somewhere in the middle were civilians and soldiers who were about to find out what the chemical weapon may do, its destructive notion was irreversible and inevitable – avoided and prevented.

How They Get It Right and When They Don’t

In most serial homicides, FBI agents do not actively participate in the investigation, secure evidence, or pursue the suspect—that is the responsibility of the local police agency. Nor is the FBI called in if serial homicides occur in different jurisdictions—that is a myth. The FBI analysts act in an advisory capacity, only at the request of a local police department that submits a standard, thirteen-page Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (VICAP) analysis report to the FBI. The data from the VICAP report is fed into a computer known as Profiler, and the output of the computer is then elaborated on by the analysts in the form of a profile before being sent back to the local police department. FBI analysts sometimes travel to the scene of a crime or assign one of a team of specially trained local FBI agents, known as field profile coordinators, to work at the scene. The average FBI agent is fairly well educated—a university degree is required of recruits. The agents...
