there was some question apparently in this case that an Amber Alert was not called, even though a neighbor heard a scream and gave a great description of a car fleeing the area without its lights on.....
If this girl was killed well after being taken, then the Amber Alert could have saved her...because people had identified the car near where the girl was eventually found....
there was a petition going around recently to make Amber Alerts for adults the norm...I signed it...hope all freepers would sign it if it comes around again.....
I don't know what the problem was in not calling the Amber Alert in this sad case, but if we would make the Alert system available to all then perhaps there would have been no hesitation on the part of the Nebraska police.....
God Bless this young girl, and her family,another victim of our culture of impulse, obsession, and death.....
You should see the BIG friggin' electronic signs we purchased for road conditions/amber alert (I'm in Omaha). If you've ever driven out of Denver towards the mountains and have seen the road condition signs, we have those. I'm sure they weren't cheap.
The signs laid on the side of the road for ~6 months before they were installed because the Department of Transportation poured the wrong type of footings. I have yet to see these signs in use. But smile, you help us pay for them.
