The AMBER Alert was born in 1996 when local media teamed up with local police to develop an early warning system to find abducted children following the abduction and brutal murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, of Arlington.
The Rowlett Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating 15-year-old Colton Kahan, who was reported missing Monday morning.
Kahan was last seen around 7:52 a.m. walking away from the 4700 block of North President George Bush Highway in Rowlett, police said.
