Over Memorial Day weekend in 1995, Arizona’s Tonto National Forest became the scene of a perplexing mystery. Devin Williams, a 29-year-old father of three, inexplicably drove his ten-ton semi-truck off the highway and crashed through the woods, alarming campers and witnesses. Eyewitnesses described his bizarre behavior, with no attempts to communicate or seek help. Devin had vanished without a trace..

For two years, searches by authorities and rescue teams yielded no results, leaving his family and the public baffled. Then, nearly two years later, hikers discovered a human skull just half a mile from where Devin had last been seen. Dental records confirmed the skull was his, but the cause of his death and the reason for his strange behavior remain an unsolved mystery to this day.

Amber Hagerman & Amber Alert | Origins | Ep.91 Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Amber Hagerman was a 9-year-old girl from Arlington, Texas, whose tragic abduction and murder in 1996 led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system. On January 13, 1996, Amber was abducted while riding her bicycle near her grandparents' home. A witness saw a man pull her into his truck and called the police, but despite efforts to find her, Amber's body was discovered four days later in a nearby creek. Her killer has never been found.

Amber's case deeply affected the community and inspired the development of the AMBER Alert system (America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response) in her memory. The system uses emergency broadcasts and other alerts to quickly notify the public when a child has been abducted, helping to increase the chances of a safe recovery.

The AMBER Alert system has since expanded across the U.S. and internationally, credited with saving hundreds of children's lives.
