Adam Walsh murder solved


A 27-year-old child abduction case-turned-murder has finally been solved. Adam Walsh, the son of America's Most Wanted host John Walsh, was abducted and later decapitated back in 1981. The case launched the show that John hosted and also brought more focus on how to deal with child abduction cases. John was both emotional but relieved that police fingered Ottis Toole, who died over 10 years ago, as the killer.

Who could take a 6-year-old and murder and decapitate him? Who? We needed to know. We needed to know. And today we know. The not knowing has been a torture, but that journey's over.

I can only imagine what that's like and hope i never have to find out first-hand. Our thoughts go out to the Walsh family and we're glad they finally have some closure.
