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 ….
