Authorities have issued an AMBER Alert for a 10-year-old Texas girl who was reported missing on April 30.
The girl, 10-year-old Skylar Beach, was reported missing out of Hamlin, about 46 miles northwest of Abilene, according to officials searching for the girl.
Beach is believed to be riding on a black motorcycle with a 43-year-old man named Terry Jeter.
Beach is described as a white female with auburn hair and brown eyes. She weighs 78 pounds and stands at 5-feet-2 inches tall. She was last seen wearing a navy blue shirt, pink shorts, and red Converse shoes.
According to authorities, Jeter and Beach are on a black 2002 Suzuki Intruder with Texas license plates 138A4V.
Authorities ask that anyone who sees the girl call the Hamlin Police Department at (325) 823-4604.
The AMBER Alert program is operated within the Office of Justice Programs. It was created in 1996 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The program name, AMBER, stands for "America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response." The acronym is a tribute to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnapped while riding her bike in Arlington, Texas, and murdered.
Since then, other states have created their own AMBER Alert systems.
As of Dec. 31, 2024, 1,268 children have been successfully found through the AMBER Alert program, and 226 children have been rescued due to wireless emergency alerts.
