The story of Adam Walsh

[Pete]

​

For those of us that grew up during the 80s particularly in America the kidnapping of Adam Walsh was a real big thing. I remember seeing it all over tv and teachers in my school talking to us about being careful and what not because of this. On July 27, 1981 Adam with his mother went shopping at the department store Sears. Adam’s mother left him by the Atari video game display while she went to inquire about a lamp. When she returned to get him he was gone and never to be seen. Two weeks later his head was found in a drainage canal alongside Highway 60 / Yeehaw Junction in rural Indian River County, Florida. Many years later convicted serial killer Ottis Toole confessed to he murder of Adam but the case was dropped due to the lack of evidence and he recanted his confession. Some people were convinced that it was Toole that committed this heinous crime but in the end we will never know.

That was a great show. Lots of fugitives were apprehended because of that show.
