The state of Washington will now send out an AMBER Alert if a disabled person goes missing more than six hours. “Kimmie's Law” passed in February and expands AMBER Alerts for people with disabilities involving age, health, mental or physical issues. The law was created after the rape and murder of 16-year-old Kimmie Daily. The victim had the mental capacity of a 10-year-old, and police considered her a runaway during the first 24 hours she was missing.
