Amber Hagerman Part 1: The Abduction

When Amber Hagerman was born, her parents’ relationship was still relatively new. In spite of the many challenges her mom Donna faced, particularly after becoming a single mother, Amber and her brother Ricky were happy with strong emotional stability and love in their lives. By the time Donna was ready to give the kids’ father a chance to continue to be in their lives, she’d agreed to take part in a local television news docuseries about the struggles of being a single mom. After filming wrapped, and 100s of hours of footage had been shot, it was nearly 1996 and Amber was 9 years old. Everything was looking up for the family in this new year until the unthinkable happened.
