Amber Hagerman was draggedfrom her bicycle and never seen alive again.
Police have no suspects, but they think the crime was committed by a sexual predator.
Her killer had been out on parole for three months and twice before had been arrested for kidnapping. As evidenced by these tragic events, there is a need to arm communities with information about the where-abouts of previously convicted sex offenders. In many instances, lives could have been saved if only communities had known about these dangerous predators. After the death of Megan Kanka, her parents mobilized New Jersey and the nation in the fight for community notification provisions. Had they known that an offender lived directly across the street from them, the Kankas would have been able to protect their daughter from harm.
