John Walsh triumphed over tragedy. He has taken down so many evil bastards. Such a great man!
Hes a true hero and warrior! Hes fought the good fight!
Still fighting for justice the guy is amazing
AMEN,!!
So true
That's one way to look at it... or you could look at the reality of who that creep really is: he took a minor across state lines to have sex with her (by his own admission) and destroyed the lives of millions of people through the Nazi-inspired law he pushed to have passed in his son's name. I guess it depends on which cup of Kool-aid you choose to drink.
Mr Walsh stated himself the police did not treat him or this case seriously in the beginning. Ironically Mr Walsh is being asked by law enforcement to help them with cases for over 35 years.
It's easy to say out or anger but dozens of Police immediately joined the search and a nationwide bulletin was issued for poor Adam.
Ironically the last few dahmer victims could have been stopped too if it weren’t for the incompetent policemen that gave konrad sinthasomphine back to dahmer. Later to kill him
@@oblongfan1 Look at Gacy, he picked up and raped/tortured a couple of men and ended up releasing them instead of killing them and both men went to the police and they didn't take them seriously.
@@joanna7350 right. I still need to study more of gacys victims
Seems like decade after decade, there’s a consistent need for police reform. Maybe these cops would’ve done things differently if it had been their child or loved one.
How could anyone ever go back to their regular work after losing a child like this. John had no choice but to make this his life work. God bless Adam, and his family. Thank you John for all you do.
He was a coke head who owed tons of money so they paid someone to off his kid
@@Rightopinionhaver ok troll
Will his dad pull so many criminals in prison after this case this went down a history
I would make it my life mission like he did to take down murderers and pedos if something happened to my kids.
terrible but I believe many was used for human organ traffic
John Walsh turned tragedy into triumph. He's helped take down a lot of evil monsters over the years. Rest in peace, Adam. No 6 year old should never have had to endure such brutality
That picture of little Adam with his baseball uniform and bat .Always breaks my heart seeing it ! RIP Adam angel!
Its a profoundly real and tangible
I agree, such a beautiful photo!!!! 😞💔
It's an eerie feeling everytime I see it 😔 poor baby
Yeah Me too :(
Check out Amanda gaeke
It’s disgusting that any human could do that to a little six-o year-old child!
Rips a deep hole in your heart!!
This still bothers to this day..😢
The human race is capable of unspeakable evil!
They aren't human
I was disgusted what he did to Adam was horrified and sickening
I was only 6 years old when Adam Walsh was kidnapped. I’m 46 and to this day I get a knot in my stomach whenever I hear his name. RIP Adam 🙏
same here
Same age as Adam then.
Same! 😢 i lived in Orlando when this took place.
My mother was visiting Florida and was in that Sears the day Adam disappeared. She remembers the search going on in the mall for him. 😞
That's so sad. :(
😔
🥺😢
Bullshit..
Did she see Otis Toole or Dahmer there??
This is one of them stories you just don’t ever forget. RIP Adam.
I agree
Just started watching. Oh boy this isn't going to be fun.
How awful to lose a child to abduction. My brother lost his 2 children of separate auto accidents 3 months apart. That was bad enough. Poor Adam, an INOCENT child, what he mustve felt, I cannot even fathom.
There should be a memorial for Adam. I know a lot of people have had their child abducted, so maybe that's the reason they dont have a memorial?
The dad hes a suspect i believe, confessing to a murder is not hard evidence
This is why I tell my children, monsters DO exist.
😭😭😭
Yap and it not always strangers sadley can be yo fam friends or who ever closse to you
My dad was a homicide cop. He told us kids the same.
Same.
And they and their supporters are all Democrats!!
The fact that 2 different killers were in the same drainage bridge is so surreal
What do you mean? Which ones?
Wonder what attracted them there?
Just wondering what Dahmer was dumping out of the bucket anyway?! I mean WTF?!?
@@NASTYVEGASNATE just in general very interesting
@@FrankFromL.A yeah not sure either scary what the minds of killers think
The people driving past would have no idea that a child's head was thrown in a ditch just beside the road. Disturbing to think about how often we drive past crime scenes like this without knowing.
Seriously. Just a couple months ago my dad told me that a piece of land right next to a highway we drive down all the time was the scene of a crime (a women's body was either in or underneath one of the trees). I had zero clue
There was a park I would walk through every day to get to a bus. It was within 500 meters of my home/only way to get to the stop without walking many km out of my way. One weekend, a 17yo girl was stabbed to death there. I still had to walk through that park, it looked the same. You would never think some child’s life had been taken so violently. It never felt the same. Such sadness. But I know most people would see that park the way people see that roadway. No one would suspect anything unless they knew the story.
My mother used to use this story to scare me into not messing around in stores. I'm a parent now, I totally understand her fear.
this is upsetting .i need to share. Fedco store in San Bernardino. Had a toy store dept. It had a ramp that went into toys dept....parents would let their kids shop for toys while parents shopped. so sad
@@maryschneider2759 I'm sorry, what are you trying to say?
@@catsmith3771 I guess I grew up in a time where the Fedco dept store had a toy dept. It was on east side of building with a ramp...one way in and that way out. kids would be there will parents shopped. Never would we think someone would hurt us. What happened to Adam was so tragic and really made people aware. thank you.
When I was little I used to wonder off my mom used to tell me this story . After that I stop
My mother did the exact same thing
Calling a CODE ADAM also closes all entrances and exits and begins a security check of all parking lots and walkways.
I have a small son. So does this actually work to tell someone who owns or works in stores?
That's true. I was at a Barnes N Noble several years ago with my boyfriend and teenaged children. We had all separated and were looking at books of our own interest when a "Code Adam" was called. Knowing what that was I immediately began looking for the child they described over the intercom, along with the staff. He was found safe and unharmed, TJTM, However, my boyfriend and my 2 pre-teens had no idea what was going on. Now they know, so if they hear that announcement they know to begin looking quickly.
@@bsoz9759 yes this was the case at Kroger Company as well. We had certain trained Staff members who would respond to a Code Adam. Even some customers knew what a Code Adam was and helped looking out for lost misplaced children. Adam Walsh is flying high with the Angels. John Walsh has done so much to help keep children safe and John dedicated his life to put away these monsters that done horrible crimes against children and families. While it was terribly sad that Adam was murdered but it was the start to help many future children to get the Justice they so deserve! ⚖ John Walsh is definitely a National Hero!!! He has brought something so positive from Adams death and I am sure that Code Adam will stay with us for many years to come. May God Bless John and his entire family for his devotion and may Adam rest in peace.
It’s used in schools as well. RIP Adam
My son triggered a Code Adam in a SuperWalmart. They take this VERY seriously.
John Walsh is truly an America hero in my eyes. He took an unimaginable, horrible incident and made the best of it. Adam did not die in vain.
My family lives in Vero Beach, Florida. Not too far from where his head was found. My family is good friends with John and Reve Walsh. My father actually use to babysit Adam back when he was still alive. This story traumatized me as a child hearing about it due to my family being friends with their family. It’s crazy to think that I know them and have been to their home in Florida and know his other kids Meghan, Callahan and Hayden. Awesome family and what John created after this happened has helped find so many more children and brought together an amazing system for missing persons. I feel blessed to know John. The memory of Adam will always be alive within my family, theirs and many others. God bless you all and keep a close look on your loved ones. ALSO READ THE BOOK - TEARS OF RAGE by John Walsh himself. Every little detail about what happened is in this book and even a written letter to John from Otis Otoole (murderer) Some parts of the letter are horrific but a must read!
Hayden. How horrible 🤢
I'm very very sorry Hayden I saw little Adams Walsh movie and I cried wow I thought that I would actually meet someone who new little Adam Walsh again I m very truly sorry John Walsh lost if you see it then give them my simplys I was ten years old in eighty one
My husband is named after adam. His mother was watching the case of adam on the news & it touched her so much, she named my husband adam. & our son is adam jr. Little adam walsh has touched many people's hearts. So has his father. Bless the walsh's hearts.
That almost made me cry. Im holding back. I hope John walsh and his wife see your post/ comment.
OMG that's Soo sweet..😘😘❤
Bonnie May Adam is my husbands name too 😘
THAT IS SO TENDER
Ms. Elite huh?
I lost my son at a sears for 10mins back in the early 2000s.. I was looking at the new HD TV at the time. I turn around and he was gone. I ended leaving sears thinking we ran off with his mom which she was shopping a couple of stores down .. we had cops and sears security looking all over for him.. my wife spotted him peeking out of the entertainment center shelf .. but those 10mins seemed like an hour.
That is the worst feeling !
💕 glade it had a happy ending hope you hug him every time you see him even if he is 30
@@willeysingleton3057 he's 20 yrs old now.. and I still do daily
@@heidiwalker7123 yeah I know.. my wife still brings it up..
@@jerryhdzNtexas that's good glade to hear it, the world needs loving father's.
This story has been one of the defining events of my adult life. God bless John & Reve. They are two of my biggest heros. Very brave people. I could not have survived the experience let alone gone to have 3 more children. They took their horrifying experience & used it to literally help millions of other parents & children. God bless you for your work.
My Heart Breaks for John Walsh, I just can't imagine.
Me too, that security guard chase that little boy out. I felt so bad for the parents .
I'm 45 and I still remember 😢💔you are not forgotten Adam.
Interesting factoid: Bizzy Bone from Bone Thugs n Harmony was abducted by his mom's boyfriend along with his sisters and was missing for two years. During one of the tv showings of the movie ADAM (1983), his photo was shown at the end. His babysitter recognized him and called it in to the show and they were recovered. He went on America's Most Wanted in 2002 to thank John Walsh for all of his work to find abducted children.
I watched the video where bizzy bone talks about this
Wow. I did not know this. Very interesting
❤❤❤ that's great. I hate that this happened to the Walsh family and any other family that has had family murdered or disappeared. It was such an awesome thing that John did out of this tragedy. He has helped so many people. I wish the show was still on.
Wow.... I had no idea, 2 long years smh. Thank God Bizzy and his sister were found.
Used to love that group back in the day. I had never heard about that. Thanks for the interesting tidbit. I’m going to check out the story.
As a parent myself…I wouldn’t have the strength of one if my child went missing…
It’s literally my greatest fear.
Thank you both for recognizing and respecting these kinds of crimes.
Holy shit that Dahmer coincidence is actually insane.
Yeah, that part just blew me away when I saw his name on the crime scene map
Why was Dahmer there with a bucket ,something is not right with that story...
Maybe he was told of the body and ate parts of it.
@@jameswallingford5597 he was driving by and saw a man dumping something out of a bucket. The reason his name is on the sketch is because they initially thought he did it.
@Jeremy I will have to check that out..
He would have just celebrated his 47 th birthday. Rip
45. He was born in 75

Rip kid just fck up sick people
Man, this horrific story is every parents nightmare. RIP Adam.
The saddest story ever...... makes me sick for John and his wife thinking of the brutal way he was killed..... makes me cry...
Absolutely heartbreaking... my heart goes out to Mr. Walsh, he turned his pain and I'm sure anger into something good by trying to help others going through the same pain.
Damned security guard. Adam was so young. Why did he put him out of the store instead of asking him where his mother was? It makes me so mad every time I hear this part of the story repeated.
Yes, older teenage boys or boys older than 12 might be safe in looking for their parent but a little 6 year old. You say he shooed the children outside? Common sense would tell you not to do that although the security guard was unaware that maybe the little boy was with the older boys. Nothing changes it now but people need to be alert.
It was the 80's. Horrific situations like this never occurred here in Hollywood.
@Sue Schaff
There was a security guard that kicked him out of the Sears. And it was a female security guard.
@Sue Schaff
It's been documented that there was a female security guard on duty. Who else kicked Adam out of the store?
That guard is guilty of negligence
I will never forget Adam Walsh. That year I was just 5yrs old and cried and prayed for him.
Wow, I was 5 years old as well and will never forget about this case. I remember watching the TV movie about it and it was just so scary to me.
me too
Bc of adam I was taught stranger danger and bc of adam I wasn't abducted ! I was about 6 yes old in kokomo indiana.
I was one I don't think they ever found out who killed him
Well just think of all the children that are in the hands of monsters right now ......and yet hardly anyone even mentions there names ...
I've been in a Walmart when a 'Code Adam' was called. It was mind-boggling the lightning speed in which all exits were sealed and nobody was allowe to leave. Thankfully in the case, the child was found wandering in another area of the store.
So sorry to John Walsh for the loss of his son & to see him up on that car not giving up hope was powerful!!
It takes a real coward to take a helpless, defenseless little boy, I cant even begin to process this, just pure evil lives among us RIP Adam Walsh
Yes and social workers do the same trauma to kids with no good reason, but instead of the relief of death the traumatised child grows up to suffer for years n years. Almost worse
I'm glad John and his wife stayed strong and moved on...they didn't let evil destroy them...Adam will never be forgotten...he is a beautiful child...
Yeah? Look up what's going on between him and his daughter and her children online.
When John is speaking during the confirmation of Toole being the one who killed Adam, it brought me to tears. The raw emotion and deep pain in his voice. I cannot even imagine the devastation and depth of his loss. #RIPAdam and may GOD bless John and his family 🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔
My oldest daughter was born in early 1982 and this affected every moment of my life since the very first time I heard he was missing.
Adam... your dad is a Legend! You don’t think of John without thinking of You. Rest easy Adam. We love you ❤️
Adam and God know what John is.
Being born in 1976, this was my first introduction to how evil and scary the world could be. It scarred me as a child.
Me too (1976). I remember hearing it about it on the news when the TV was turned on.
I bet you also trusted your parents not to harm you .
@George Westinghouse Do you have access to a photo of the child to examine? If you do I would like to explain why I feel that Adam was murdered by someone he knew.
Everyone has a larger and smaller side to their face and torso. Normally all the features ( hands, eyes, feet,etc) match in size.
In Jimmy's case the larger eye is located on the small side of his face,which is not the norm.In my research I have found that it indicates on victims of homicide that they didn't know who murdered them. Case in point Jimmy didn't know that man.
Now with Adam, there was no difference in his features indicating he knew his killer.
So unless he had met any of the suspects accused of his murder, then it would be impossible that anyone besides someone he knew to have murdered him.
Tell me what you think after checking it out.
Born in 77. Same.
Me too, and myself and 2 friends were almost kidnapped in 1985 by 2 dudes in a van with adult magazines.
Growing up in South Florida as a kid I remember when all this happened. I was only around eleven years old at the time but it was all over the tv back then. When my family would travel on the turnpike my Dad would always point out that's where it happen, we would all say a prayer while passing the area. I still wish they would put up a little sign just for his memory. Rip Adam you will forever be missed, and thanks for your father helping so many other families 🙏
I can’t imagine what John and his family went through. After watching this, I hugged my son tightly. John is a much better man than I am because if I were in his shoes, I’d be taken over with vengeance. My son is my world as I’m sure Adam was to John. Bless him and his family,
I watched ADAM, and had to go and get my son from his crib as I cried and cried.
@@ldolan4051 as in babysat?
I’m a mother myself. I cannot imagine how his parents must had felt. This is one of the saddest cases I’ve heard. RIP Adam 🙏🙏😢
The really sad fact is that there are thousands just like it.
In today's times I don't understand how anyone can just let their children wander off! HOWEVER PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES, so you people who think you are so PERFECT good for you. MOST OF US HUMANS ARE IMPERFECT!!!! I was working at a WALMART years ago and found a little girl wandering around by herself. I asked her where was her mom/dad & she didn't know. I took her to the service desk and told my manager that I saw her walking around by herself. The boss called on intercom about anyone looking for a child to come to the service desk. Her mother came & was frantically looking for her daughter. She said she turned her back for a second and her daughter was gone. Kids wander off, it doesn't mean that it's the parents/ or other family members fault!!!!
@@rhondagrider4803 well he didnt exactly wander off. He was in the video game department when the idiot security guard made him go outside. When we were kids my mom would plant is in the tv section while we shopped.no security idiot kicked us out, but being kids I'm sure we would have followed the instructions
It's bad enough but then the lawyers for Sears really tried to tear them apart especially Afam's mother
All because of Adam's tragic story, I refused to let my kids stay from me in stores. It was always on my mind. I remember it like it was yesterday. My oldest daughter was born in 82, so it was very fresh in my mind. Rest in Paradise Little Adam.
I met John in Hollywood during a red carpet premiere. I reached out to shake his hand as I said "John Walsh AMERICA'S MOST WANTED every Saturday night channel 11 at 9 PM!" John held my hand tightly as he made a speech. The way he held my hand during his speech, said a lot to me. Mostly it said "Thank You so much for paying attention! It's people like you who keep my son's memory alive & help it so my son did not die in vain!" After John made his speech, he looked me in the eye & said Thank you. I really felt that he is a very good man, & I've always wished he never went through what he did. . .
Wow said a lot in one hand shake
Rest in peace little angel. Thank you John Walsh for everything you've done.
He looked just like his dad what a beautiful child and a great man who helped so many people this is sad
His brother Callahan looks almost identical to their dad John. Callahan is doing amazing work as well with National Missing and Exploited Children.
@@Palmetto-J thank you dear for that bit of information. Adam Walsh God bless him and now his brother out there saving lives. Amazing family💕✝️
Adams life was snuffed out by a monster....But thanks to the John Walsh family..it wasn't in vain..they have done so much since then to prevent this from happening to other kids...👍👍
When this happened I remember my parents didn't leave us in cars any more while they shopped. Many parents didnt
I don't even think
Parents should be leaving their child in cars while shopping 🤦
@@anadelia8053 they shouldn't, but it was a different time
Learning about stuff like this, now that I have my own kids, makes me feel like my parents didn't love me. I was out wandering the neighborhood alone from a very young age. Or playing in my yard on a busy road with no fence, and no one ever checked on me. I actually got lost twice. Once in a Kmart and once at the beach. I don't remember my mom being upset 🤔
My grandpa left me in the car one time it was freaking scary I thought someone was going to come and kidnap me
I was born in 1982, I started watching America's most wanted when I was about 8 years old. I can't imagine the pain Mr. & Mrs. Walsh lives every single day since Adam was Murdered like that. For 27 years to go by before finding out who killed Adam was definitely driving John crazy.
I was born the same year as Adam. When I was 10-11 I took risk by not coming home before sun down and I would take long walks by myself in dark roads from the mall. Men in cars would stop and offer me a ride and I would turn it down. There's one particular white guy in his 20's who offered a ride and then came back 5 minutes later and insisted giving me a ride but I declined. Looking back, that was very risky that is why I will make sure my kids don't do what I did when I was a young boy. I could have ended up like him if I wasn't so persistent in saying no I don't need a ride and I was ready to run if they got out the car. Adam could have been a husband and father himself. Its crazy thinking about it. Talk about wrong place at the wrong time.
To imagine the fear & pain little Adam went through probably just wanting his parents just guts me ! Rip little man ! 💕😢💕
I agree and Adam had to feel all alone during his murder not knowing where his parents were. Rest in peace Adam! Thank God for his Dad being a champion for the country.
I found a book that someone wrote about Adam's disappearance and death called Finding Adam (I found it once at my local library and I haven't had the nerve to read it again). If what Toole said he did to Adam is true than that truly horrifies me, I like to brag that true crime stuff doesn't bother me but when I read what Toole claims he did to Adam I had to stop because I started to feel sick to the point where I was dry heaving and almost threw up two or three times. I did end up finishing the book but after that part I had to take constant breaks. And then there were pictures to go along with the story and one of them honestly looked like the bloody imprint of a little face crying out in pain on the floor of the car that Toole was driving that day. After I saw that picture I would break out into sobs at random points because the image would just pop up in my mind for three days straight.
@@Iyasha2008 .. I never known about the book you are speaking about but I agree, Otis toole, Jeffrey dalmer at otis's former cell mate all involved with such crimes are totally evil. I wished police identified Otis as the killer earlier instead of his death bed confession as he deserved to face capitol punishment in Adams death. What I am shocked about and still questioning is how did Jeffrey dalmer know the location where Adams head was found to be spotted there? It was either a network between these sick killers in communication with each other or someone is lying since Jeffrey dalmers original arrest and people known Jeff's activities from the news and just said Jeff dalmer was seen there being fresh in everyones minds. My heart breaks for the Walsh family even today being Adams age, from Adams area where he was kidnapped and killed and now a young grandfather, I really can't imagine my kids or grandkids being in a parents worse nightmare. the only good thing that ever stemmed out of this mess is with John Walsh saving and fighting for children everywhere with his show. May God be with him and Adams mother.
@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 Adam was killed eight years before I was born but I grew up watching America's Most Wanted and I remember my dad always telling me not to leave his side when we'd go shopping because he didn't want me to be taken like Adam was. When I got older I asked him who Adam was and he told me the story. If I went somewhere that had games to play both my parents made it clear that I was to stay near the games until they came to get me and if a worker told me to leave that section for what ever reason that I was to meet them where ever they were going to be at and to make it clear that I was going off to look for them. Basically neither one of my parents allowed me to leave the building without them.
That's why they are inhuman monsters!!
This story breaks my heart always has
Yes remember this as a small kid.
That's unbelievable Jeffrey Dahmer was in that area.♏
@@nicholasshade Yes Jeffrey could have been the killer instead of Otis.
Nah...just a coincidence. C’mon, Dahomey would never cut this kids head off and leave it there. Are people really that fughkin stupid.
@@marcuslaker5876 is your last name really laker? Im not asking in disrespect. I just want to know is that your real name or just your computer name?♏
As my son was growing up, (he's 22 now), I reminded him about this little boy and what happened to him. If we ever got separated at a store or wherever, to go to a cashier or a police officer, that they would know what to do.
Gosh, I never knew this is what happened to Walsh’s son. What a horrific crime. Especially as a parent. As much as an awesome advocate Walsh I bet this is a daily haunting to him and his family.
There was a tv movie called Adam and Adam…The story continues that tells this story
What a beautiful child. John Walsh has helped so many to be found. Adam is surely proud of his Daddy. RIP sweet Adam..forever young

Just the worst. I'm A parent ,this was very upsetting. My daughter never ran off or would never go with anyone. I used this as an example. I'm glad the Walshes were able to have several more children. 🌹🌹🌹
I have grown up hearing this story, I was born and raised in Hollywood, FL. I remember everything you have talked about, it's very accurate! Great video!
I believe a piece of John Walsh died with his son. It’s sooo heartbreaking 💔
John Walsh is an amazing man he has done amazing things. I am so glad he’s back on TV now catching these disgusting horrible people. I pray that little boy didn’t suffer my heart hurts thinking about how terrified he was. This story really stuck with me. It’s still does to this day💔
Every grieving parents dies a little when they lose a child...I speak from experience
It was his innocent demeanor that died. Maybe brought on by guilt.
U asked for this reply he was strangled to deat of course he suffered smh
I agree hes a good man
@@anthonyvinetta1718 You really got your response to the Wrong person
Not only do I believe he and his mentally disturbed wife had a hand in Adams murder but had the audacity to try to blame Dead men for their murder.
Wow Adam was adorable.... why is this world so evil
Good question !!!!
It started when a woman ate a fruit. she ate it thinking it was going to make her all knowing. Then her husband willingly ate from that fruit because he loved her more than he loved God.
@@itsjustnopinionok you poor deluded cultist. I bet you believe transgender is wrong too? Even tho god supposedly took a rib from man and built woman out of it? Y'all are a joke.
There are so many evil people in this world. I think it is the devil!!!
Human behavior leads depraved acts of cruelty. Sick minds are the root of all evil.
I was told by many people I was over protective as a mother. At that time a program came on about protecting your child from potential abductors. What did that police detective say? You CANNOT be protective enough when it comes to your child! Thank the Lord everyday for my now grown children!
Adam Walsh sparked a movement that made a huge difference! Good work, John, and Adam...rest in peace and power.
Michael, I know your heart is in the right place but I disagree with you saying there should be a memorial where little Adam's head was found. He was no doubt killed elsewhere and this part of his small body dumped in a ditch. As a mother I can tell you that I would not want a memorial to my child in such a place. I read his head was cremated and the ashes given to his parents. This story is beyond horrific and yes, people are interested in what happened. But an ugly ditch where a body part was found of a six year old child is not where a memorial should be placed. Just my opinion.
I do agree with you on that. Honestly, I was just really surprised that there is nothing...anywhere.
He is honored everyday with everything John has accomplished for other missing kids
I totally agree! Like the Anthony's, where Caylee's body was found, they removed all the memorabilia from that spot. I also as a mother, wouldn't want that either.
Agree wholeheartedly!
I agree as well however if you think about it, there’s many other areas children (and adults) have died horrifically weather it’s by rape, murder, body parts, car crash, burned, drowned...and they make it a memorial.
He in heaven in the arms of Jesus .and he will never be harm again
Justice comes when those who do evil have their last breath on earth! Confess and repent to Jesus!
@Black Phillip Why did Jesus tell the thief beside him at Calvary, "Today, you will be with me in Paradise." Also, what, then, did Apostle Paul mean when he said, "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord"? Are these verses unbiblical?
amen and working through his dad and brother to help others
🙄
@Black Phillip Whatever floats your boat is a passive aggressive statement.
It shows your hostility towards those of faith. My question is why the defensive attitude? Im not a man of faith, but I do respect those that are, simply because they base their lives on solid ethical principals. Im pretty sure, the morally bankrupt liberal left in this country are the same folks burning our cities and communities down, the places that families go and count on for income.
Why comment at all if its just to show the world your fear of being held accountable.
I remember this like it was yesterday.. Being a kid myself when this happened, it scared the crap out of me when I watched the movie when it came out..When my kids were young I always talked about stranger danger, and let them watch the "Adam" movie.. RIP Adam
Thank you both for making this video! Well researched!
They should have water boarded all these killers to get the truth out.
This was one story that till this day hits me!
@@robd1329 me too I read the tears of rage book years ago it was rough still remember it well
@@robd1329 Me too!
They should have water boarded his parents for letting this happen.
@@HolyGhostMoneyShot Well his father was at work so it wasn't his fault at all.
I was in the 9th grade with a six yr old baby brother and this story came on the news and scared me to death. I remember daily asking did they find Adam yet? I never forget seeing his father crying when they found what was left of him. This was the first time I had paid attention to the news and I must say being as young as I was it was traumatizing. I cried and cried for him and his parents. The Walsh family made such a difference with their work for families, Bless them.
If you can find the clip of him crying, look closely, they were crocodile tears, he was even looking out of the corner of his left eye to see if people were watching.
@@jasonlindsey9946 So you don't think he was upset?
@@taco2947 I'm sure one of the two was.The other probably help cover up. One thing I've learned about murderers is police should always be skeptical about the exact time of the crime because some killers take time to plan before calling in a murder or in this case a kidnapped child.
I remember this tragedy like it was yesterday. John is truly amazing and has caught so many evil people. I just wish he never had to suffer such loss and pain.
You handled this story with class and grace. Well done. 🙏❤️☺️
It's important that you are doing things like this. There is a movement in this country to bury any part of history that people find offensive and uncomfortable. Things like this need to be remembered.
The past has to be remembered for us to learn from it.
R.i.p Adam
Isn’t it sad for those lives lost? How they want us to forget those things horrible happened to innocent people, and kids. They’ll never be forgotten.
Tearing down racist man statues is a history all of us can live without. I'm SURE that's what you're referring to. 🤣🤣🤣 Way to encite hateful conversation.
Because of this case, I applaud parents who put leashes on young children. I do NOT care how it looks. I care that the child has NOT become lost or STOLEN.
God bless.
When my daughter's were young One would cling to me and the other was just going where her mind let her, I lost her in a Macy's store while shopping, she was list for almost an hour, I lost my mind but she was found in the middle of the clothes rack hiding, the circular kind. I bought her a leash, I received many stares and bad looks. I would do it all over again now that she made it to her 30ties. I can't imagine how much turmoil and hurt these parents feel even to this day. God Bless them
@@wilmaflintstone3247 I'm thankful you shared your story. Safety is first and foremost over embarrassment and ignorance. The same thing happened to my sister-in-law. There one moment and gone the next. The terror felt never leaves. God bless.
Yep,my three year old grandson has the harness because he tends to take off running without warning.At least we know he's safe and that is all that matters!!
I put a leash on mines when she was 2 yrs old she ran in Sears store under the clothes rack i was crawling like hell to catch her bought the least at that moment and cashier help me put it on her befor i paid her.That happen 38 yrs ago and i still have my daughter by my side.I hope every parents does this.
I remember the Adam Walsh case . As a child I prayed for his safe recovery and cried when he was found dead . Thank you for sharing this special story. 🖤🦇🖤 Poor boy 💔
I can’t even imagine the pain and the horrible nightmares this family has suffered. God bless John Walsh and the good he has done catching monsters and putting them away.
This is the 1st time hearing about Dauhmer being at the crime scene. Thats one hell of a coincidence.
@Kelly McDaniel , Dahmer admitted to being at that exact spot though. Out of miles and miles of highway, you just happen to be right there with a bucket. I know Dahmer confessed to his crimes but denied this but maybe he has a reason for denying this one.
@Kelly McDaniel They found many severed heads in Dahmer's apartment. He even kept one in his locker at work at a chocolate factory. I've never heard nor have I verified that Dahmer was in fact at that drainage at same time the Adam was missing. But coincidence that he just happened to be there? The odds are astronomical. I just started looking into it and this blue van this guy mentioned Dahmer was driving in the video... One witness states a blue van was illegally parked outside Sears that day and they almost hit it with their vehicle, another witness states he saw someone throw a struggling kid inside that same blue van. This Otis guy is out of his mind and confessed and then denied being involved in hundreds of murders. He could never give an accurate location of Adams body and he has never been found to this day.
I don't believe in coincidences. no one shows up to the same place three days early with a white bucket and drop something in the water. and then three days later a severed head is found. in the same exact place.
Dahmer was only 19 or 20 at the time. He may have not yet established his routine. When he was asked if he had murdered Adam he was in prison. He said that child killers don't do well in prison. His denial may have been an act of survival. At the time of Adam's abduction, Dahmer worked as a delivery driver for a delicatessen. One of their vehicles was a blue van. I'm not real big on these types of coincidences. Too bad there's not enough evidence to test for DNA today. I don't think we'll ever really know the truth for certain...
Also, when Dahmer was arrested and made national news for his crimes in Wisconsin, a couple of witnesses from the Hollywood Mall parking lot immediately and independently recognized Dahmer as the man they saw driving the blue van and talking to a small boy outside of Sears. The Walsh's certainly know more about the investigation than anyone outside of law enforcement and they find comfort in believing that crazy Otis did it, but the witnesses were sincere, decent, regular people. Between them immediately and separately recognizing Dahmer years later without provocation, and Dahmer being at the location of the site of the remains, I think it's fair to doubt the official findings of an investigation...
I have a weird connection to this horrific story, although I never met the Walsh family. I lived within walking distance of the same mall Adam was taken from and I shopped there with my daughter many times. The story of Adam hits very close to home for me because my little girl was the same age, went to the same school and was in same class as Adam, so this was extremely chilling to me. Heartbreaking, terrifying situation.
I was replying to a comment on here about someone calling the “thing” that killed little Adam Walsh a human. That was no human that did that to him, that was a evil demon individual! Beyond horrendous! R I P Adam Walsh❤️🌺
Thank you for this video. Thank you to Jessica for staying safe in the car and thank you for taking the risk to show us this sad place.
As a child in the 1980’s my parents never allowed me out of sight. Because of the Adam Walsh story there’s been a lot of criminals brought to justice and parents kept their kids closer
i dont let my nephews or nieces out of sight when they go with me
John Walsh is so strong . he lived a parents worst nightmare. He was able to turn his grief into strength and help children and catch criminals. I'm just sorry he's not able to see or hold his son
Good video ! you’re a natural host!! Thanks for keeping Adams memory alive
There are way more unknown people who murder and are never known about. I think it's more likely someone not famous that targeted kids at public places. Watching John standing on that car trying to hold it together was heartbreaking, strength beyond strength.
I was born in 79 and still know this case from watching John show growing up. Never knew about Dahmer that’s like the weirdest coincidence ever...almost too good of a coincidence.
Exactly I was born in 79 also December lol.
This hurt my heart. Rest in peace little man.
Love your videos because you do your homework and are so thorough!❤
You did a great job of covering and explaining that alful event. I am the mother of 2 son's ages 32 and 36. As they grew up and even today I tell them to be careful and be aware of their surroundings. Thanks for your commentary.
I was almost abducted by a man in a white van. He said he had a puppy and asked me if I wanted to see it. I thought about what my parents told me and said no and ran. He then hopped into his van and peeled out! When I think of Adam, I think of how he could have heard the same type of thing and he went to check it out and was taken. I feel sad about adam.
@Raylee Irvine Thank God your okay! These predators still lurk out there. It was easier to get away with crimes back then but there are still crimes today.
Same happened to me. Older white male in red older model car. I ran.
@@InMyPOV2u Wow. It's amazing how much this happens. I'm so happy your safe and got away!
Same happened to me when I was in the 5th grade after school I was walking to my aunt’s house who stayed in walking distance of the school. A blue car pulled up and a white man said that my mother was in the hospital and he was there to pick me up I asked him what was the password ( My parents set up passwords for me and my sister we use if someone other than them were picking us up) the man said “No time to play secret agent kid” I then said again what’s the password and he got angry and said get in I ran back towards the school screaming and two teachers who were on bus duty saw me and came to me and took me to the principal’s office and the principal called the police. The man was gone before police arrived and after that police officers were stage in the area before and after school.
@@americanoutdoorsman_1133 Wow. I once read a story of a kidnapper/killer knowing the password because the father was friends with him and told him drunk in a bar. The result was his child getting killed by a pedofile. People reading this, never tell the passwords to anyone, not even a family friend! I am glad you asked this guy about the password and only your parents knew it. It's important to give kids that safety measure that only the parent and kid know. I almost became a casualty later in life at 14. My uncle told my mom he would pick me up from my friends. He was visiting us. My mom thought nothing of it. I came outside from my friends and thought great, I'm hungry and can hardly wait to get home so mom can make me a sandwich. He drove and asked if I want to practice. I said sure! We switched places and I drove and then he said, we need to switch again because I don't want your mom to see your driving. I said okay. When I hopped back into the passenger side, he pulled a knife out on me and told me in a screaming tone to take my clothes off. I was shocked! I pretended with my left hand I was going to and with my right hand I unlocked the door and jumped out. He sped away and a man from a business ran over to me and said are you okay. I told him to call the cops because he attempted to rape me. I went home, feeling upset and confused. I cried and my mom cried and held me while we waited for the cops. They never got him because he fled to mexico. He died years later from a child he had sex with that was a prostitute over there. The irony of him getting tb. Well I went to that funeral and was going to spit on him. Turns out his daughter beat me to it. Any parent reading this, you never know who you trust to be around your kids, don't trust anyone because you really don't know how they act when not around you.
I met John Walsh at an “ Eagles “ concert in DC, nice man.....horrible tragedy he and his family had to endure....RIP Adam.....
No you didn’t.
I met him at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Baton Rouge years ago!
I grew up in Hollywood Florida and am just now learning about this tragedy. I recognize so many of the spots you've shown. Heartbreaking.
I can't believe this, it's so horrific, the strength John found, with his wife to go on and fight the evil is commendable, I wouldn't of been able to help myself, my heart goes out to them,he is a true hero, RIP Adam
This case is so interesting and weird for me since I grew up in Sunrise, close to Hollywood. The work that John Walsh has done is so heroic stemming from such a horrific act.
John fought back for other victims
It is...John Walsh is a True hero!
Such a wonderful dad and such a tragic story 😢
He is not the hero you think he is.
@@HolyGhostMoneyShot elaborate
Having a son that is almost 4 years old and with all of his love and personality if that happened to him I would cease to exist.
Yes this is my very thought… I’d snap and start offing people with a gone for not knowing and friends and family strangers it wouldn’t matter who you are but I’d probably off myself for letting it happen as well lol really not funny because it hurts my heart
@@aliciagreen3374 how do people show so much compassion but think abortion is ok. i know this isnt the place. But I simply don't get that.
@@nonameyet9165 yeah it's really isn't the place. Don't use a boys death as an excuse to vent out your hatred and insecurities.
@@nonameyet9165 Absolutely not even remotely similar. And a horrible place to even mention something like that.
I couldn’t bare to live after, if I ever lost any of my boys :( . In fact I wouldn’t ever ever want to feel that pain of losing a child in such a tragic way. RIP Adam !
This one struck home because I was born in 77 in Louisiana and I remember my mom watching this investigation on the news and me thinking " why would you kill a kid " and it's just stuck with me ever since.
I love how you do a whole background on everything. You are so articulate in your story telling. I love watching your video's.
I grew up there. Went to that Sears location dozens of times. Eerie reminders. I was about Adam’s age as well. I used to always hang out at that video game section like he did. It was an old Atari 2600 display. All the kids hung out there while their parents shopped.
My sister and I used to hang out in the arcade or the toy store while my parents did their Christmas shopping at the mall. That was the 80’s.
We moved to south Florida in june of 81, ill never forget Adam Walsh
South Florida was cocaine-ville back then. Rape. Murder. Machine gun capitol.
I repaired John Walsh's hurricane shutters many times while living in Vero beach. Him and his wife are wonderful people. I saw piles of old family photos in the garage of Adam and the family. John's wife even made us lemonade. I feel so sad for them. I could tell by the photos laying around that it is something that has ate them alive for all these years and has never been forgotten. Great people.
The absolute VOID something like this would leave in a parent. Even after all the questions have been answered, I can only imagine there’s still a huge abyss in the very soul of the parent. The abruptness of it and the horror of how your precious child was found.
As a teenager in the late 90's & early 2000's The Americas most wanted was my favorite TV show whatever u wanna called it to watch👍
RIP Adam and thank you John Walsh for helping in catching criminals!!!
Brings it all back...but even worse now with details I didn't know back then. So horrible...so heart wrenching...so tragic. My heart breaks for this family to this day. Thank you, Mr. Walsh for helping so many other families since then. God Bless.
The intro to this channel is that absolute BEST.
