America's Most Wanted
- A career in fighting crime is one John Walsh never expected. In
1981, Walsh was a partner in a successful hotel management company.
He and his wife Revé were living the American dream in southern
Florida with their six-year-old son Adam. But then violent crime touched
their lives. On July 27, 1981, Adam Walsh was abducted from a suburban
shopping mall. For 16 days, a frantic search followed until Adam's
remains were discovered more than 100 miles from his home. The
prime suspect in Adam's murder, Ottis Toole, was never charged in
the case. He died in prison while serving life for other crimes. Toole
took the truth about his possible involvement in Adam's murder to
his grave -- denying John and Revé an opportunity for closure.
The Walsh's
turned their grief into action and without a badge or a gun, John
Walsh quickly became a nationally recognized leader in the push for
victims' rights. In 1987, FOX contacted John about hosting a groundbreaking
new reality show designed to track down the country's most notorious
and dangerous fugitives by profiling their cases to a national audience.
Using AMW as his vehicle for justice, John now brings to other victims
of violent crime the closure he never found.
