Did Amber’s Family Know Bill N. Fry?
Jackie Mitchell, niece of Wanda June Mitchell, posted this on The Ellis County Observer last year:“LOTS [emphasis hers] of people had the same kind of [black] trucks in Arligton those years. Hell there was about [eight] on my block alone... and I was just a few away from where she [Amber] lived.”
After this was published in sister publication The Ennis Examiner, the Hagerman family requested (via the Arlington police) that this publisher not contact them anymore. Amber was the second child of Hagerman’s father to have been abducted.
Unusual Irony
15 Years Ago: 9-year-old Amber was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a man driving a black truck that resembled a Cheyenne
15 Years Later:
Bill N. Fry had a 9-year-old and a 15-year-old named Cheyenne taken from his custody
