HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - Authorities in South Florida announced Tuesday that they've finally solved the 1981 killing of Adam Walsh, whose father later gained fame as the host of "America's Most Wanted."

Hollywood police held a news conference to close the case of the abduction and homicide of 6-year-old Adam. They identified the boy's killer as Ottis Toole, a drifter who confessed to the murder, then recanted before dying in prison in 1996. Toole's niece told the boy's father, John Walsh, her uncle gave a deathbed confession.

Adam's parents, John and Reve Walsh, long ago derided the investigation as botched. Both attended a news conference and gave a tearful account of what's it's been like not knowing for decades who killed their son.

  • How is this solved? The cop said they only have circumstantial evidence! They lost the only real evidence they had (toole's car and a sample of blood soaked carpet) and toole is dead. This is nothing but a publicity stunt.

  • @midnightmandi Actually ottis toole did admit to what he did to poor!

  • 27 years of an unsolved until 2008!?!? OMFG!!!

  • @DefinitelyNotLying  wh...at?

  • Southport you're a fucking lame and I'm sure your life sucks... good ;)

  • John Walsh should be ashamed of himself for making the loss of his son personal. The world doesn't owe him a damn thing. Does he think he's the only one that's ever suffered a tragedy? He should have just gotten over it and let it go instead of profiting from his tragedy. Screw John Walsh and his dead son. Adam's birth and death means nothing. 100 years from now nobody will remember or care anyway!

  • @phorse Hell, ever hear of a guy named Albert Fish? He did this same sort of thing about half a century before Tool, Gacy or Dahmer! You'd think THAT should've been when people got wise to it for the first time!

  • How do they know that Toole was the murderer? He lied about so many cases.

  • Can we bring Amber Hagerman
