The article i chose is about a Dallas mother's mission to create an Amber Alert style system alert for adults. D'Lisa Kelley was found murdered a week after she disappeared in March 2014. It took Dallas police several days to issue a critical missing alert. Kelley's killer has never been found. A bill delivered to Governor Greg Abbot's desk this week would establish an adult missing person alert system Amber and Silver alerts in Texas. Kelley's mother has been pushing for the state to create an adult missing persons alert system since 2015. All it needs now is the governor's signature and Kelley is hoping the missing adult notification will carry her child's name and be known as the Kelley Alert.
This relates to U.S History because of the Amber Alert System that began (in 2002) in Dallas-Fort Worth when broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response.
Emma Burkey: I hope that after all this mother's hard work Abbot will sign the bill. I am surprised that a bill like this hasn't come up sooner because it is something that is necessary for adults and not just children.
