One of my dearest friends' sisters is a producer at "America's Most Wanted". Sometimes we forget that John Walsh's television program began with his very private pain. Today, Hollywood, Florida Police officially closed the case of murdered son Adam Walsh, who was abducted and decapitated by drifter and convicted pedo Ottis Toole, who was never prosecuted for Adam's murder, although he confessed to the crime multiple times. Six year old Adam's head was found in a river. His body was never recovered. I suspect he was violated in so many horrible ways. I'm glad we'll never know and hope his death was swift. I cannot even type this.
The Police also admitted that they bungled the investigation. Watching Mr. Walsh speak today, I am glad he still has his grief and his anger. No one asks him to forgive. A monster took his child in the most horrific way.
John and Reve's marriage didn't survive (how could it?) but they remain friends and the staunchest advocates for missing children and capturing criminals.
My heart just breaks for this family. I will not soon forget Adam, either. He is one of God's angels and I hope he is happy.
