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.
Two children who were the subject of a Texas Amber Alert on Wednesday morning have been found safe in San Antonio, officials said.
According to the DeWitt County Sheriff's Office, the two boys, aged 4 and 5, were found safe on Wednesday shortly before noon.
"The children have been located and are safe. We are working to reunite them with their mother," officials said in a statement.
Officials said the boys were last seen at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, in Yorktown, Texas.
