    100: MURDER: Amber Hagerman
    Aug 11 2025
    On the afternoon of January 13, 1996, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was riding her bike in the parking lot of an abandoned grocery store in Arlington, Texas, when a man in a black pickup truck pulled up beside her, grabbed her off her bike, and drove away.

    Four days later, Amber’s body was found in a creek just a few miles away. She had been murdered.

    Twenty-nine years later, Amber’s case remains unsolved. But her name has never faded. And her legacy continues to save lives.

    Amber Hagerman was abducted at around 3:18 p.m. on January 13, 1996, while riding her bike in the parking lot of an abandoned Winn-Dixie store in Arlington, Texas.

    A witness saw a man force her into a black pickup truck and drive away. Four days later, Amber’s body was found in a creek about five miles away. Her killer has never been identified.

    If anyone has any information, please call Arlington police at 817-575-8823 or Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at 817-469-TIPS.

  • 99: MISSING: Danielle Bell

    99: MISSING: Danielle Bell
    Aug 4 2025
    On the night of September 28, 2001, 14-year-old Danielle Bell attended a party in Cantonment, Florida.

    By the next morning, she was gone.

    Investigators later learned Danielle believed she was pregnant with a 24-year-old man’s baby. She was scheduled to see a doctor the following week to confirm the pregnancy, but she never made it.

    More than 23 years later, Danielle has never been found. Police believe she was murdered, but no one has ever been charged, and those closest to the case say the people who know what happened are still out there.

    14-year-old Danielle Bell was last seen at around 2:00 a.m. on September 29, 2001, at Robert Bassett’s home at 588 Cedar Tree Lane in Cantonment, Florida. At the time, she believed she was pregnant with 24-year-old Alfredo Sanchez’s baby.

    Alfredo’s brother, Alex, told investigators he dropped Danielle off at Bassett’s home and never saw her again. That was the last time anyone reported seeing Danielle.

    If you have any information about Danielle’s disappearance, please contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 850-436-9620.

  • 98: MURDER: Trish Haynes

    98: MURDER: Trish Haynes
    Jul 28 2025
    In January 2018, 25-year-old Trish Haynes returned to New Hampshire for a court date. She planned to stay just a few months and then head back to Florida, where her grandparents were waiting for her.

    But that return trip never happened.

    After moving in with an old classmate and her husband - Ashley and Doug Smith - Trish’s contact with her family dropped off. And by July, she was officially reported missing.

    Weeks later, investigators found her jawbone inside a washer that had been dumped in a nearby pond.

    To this day, no one has been arrested. And Trish’s family is still waiting for justice.

    Trish Haynes was last heard from on May 16, 2018, during a brief phone call with her grandmother. She was staying with Ashley and Doug Smith at their rental property in Grafton, New Hampshire.

    In late August, police searched the Smiths’ home. A second search led them to Grant Pond, less than a mile away, where investigators recovered a washer containing Trish’s jawbone. The rest of her remains have never been located.

    If you have any information that could help this case, you can call the New Hampshire State Police at 603-223-4381.
