Taught TRAGEDY

BATTLE OF FATHER AND THE BIRTH OF THE KEY ADAM

It happened in 1981, a child disappears from a mall in the city of Hollywood, Florida, and the case ended in tragedy for the parents, but momentum took his father to become a fighter of missing children, here is the story.

His name was Adam Walsh, son of John and Reve Wash., was a middle class family who lived in the Florida city of Hollywood, his father loved him very much, but because of his work could not be with the child anything he wanted even so when I finally managed to have spent big time and his son.

It was July 27, 1981, Reve and Adam arrived at the Sears Mall Hollywood for the lady had bought through catalogs a lamp she liked, but they sent a different model, so he suggested that could change in your local store, so Reeve was with his son and when they were always coming and going through the same door, even though the center had more hits, went to Sears and there Adam asked his mother to let him in front to what was then a novelty: a video game, so his mother leaves him there and is heading the department of household items, a few meters from there, once settled the matter of the lamp by his son and returns no longer found in the game, turns to look and ask employees if ever had seen, the response was negative, and then turns to the local sound system to call his son to no avail.

Meanwhile, Reeve's wife's mother appeared who coincidentally went to the same mall and found his daughter asked So just in case Adam was not with her, which puzzled her, and already desperate mother and grandmother run through the mall and asked a passerby were crossed as if they had seen the child there, then the manager of Sears finally called women to submit to a guard about 18 years old, who said he had thrown four children of local scandal that made in video game, two whites and two blacks, who were separated and the whites them out through a door and black on the other, was not sure but thought that the youngest of the whites seemed to Adam.

Reeve then asked the woman to show him the door guard where she threw the white children and was alarmed to see that was not what they used to use, so we were now to walk the mall parking lot to see if there you could find, and not giving the result was then and only then decide to call the local police.

John Walsh and then had been aware of the disappearance of her son and went to get his wife to comfort her and ask the police was being done to find him, and were surprised that the police had no idea how to find a lost child, and father took questions from the officers about what they believed he would do to find the child.

John decides to campaign to search for her son and is close to local media, but they closed the doors on the grounds that the local stories were not of public interest, John will not surrender and continue their search until several days after the disappearance of Adam does a space in a national news program and presents its case.
Before that he had met with the county coroner in Hollywood who brought a folder with pictures of pedophiles who were on probation and asked John if any had seen one of those guys hanging around the neighborhood, John was indignant learn that such offenders was at large in the streets.

Days after the same coroner called urgently to his office in the county morgue, and there tells John to accept that maybe his son was already dead and finished by saying that whoever does not believe that the devil was loose in the world is that he had not seen what I had to do, and I mentioned that there was the possibility that in case his son was found dead on the other hand there was no possibility of knowing that the law did not require medical examiners to make information exchange on unclaimed bodies, although they did so as a means of cooperation.

After John and Reve finally be presented in the national television program dealing with the case of Adam and two other missing children got a terrible call, was the forensic pedia child's dental records to verify the identity of a human head that was found floating in an irrigation canal in Vero Beach on August 10, after completing these records and facts relevant tests and the avoidance of doubt, had been killed Adam Walsh.

Never found the rest of his body, and after the funeral John launched his campaign for missing children more strongly than ever, fueled by the desire that Adam's death should serve as a watershed to create laws to protect parents in disgrace and be included in the databases of the local police and the FBI all about missing children and / or forcibly disappeared (so not to well) and challenged the local congresses to enact such laws.

Meanwhile, Adam's murder linked to a guy named Ottis Toole, who at first admitted he who saw the boy walking disoriented the day of his disappearance on the outskirts of the mall, and subsequently rose to his car, raped and decapitated body, but later retracted that statement and while serving sentences for other crimes died of cirrhosis in September 1996, it also appeared to relate to the case called Butcher of Milwaukee Jeffrey Dahmer, whom two witnesses place him at the center business on the day of Adam's disappearance but has not been able to consolidate this test, all they had against him is that when these events he lived in Miami Beach.

As a result it is now possible to see some regular retail product labels which include photographs of missing children and a number to call local authorities if there is a suspicion that has seen one of these children, for their part major U.S. supermarket chains, including Wal-Mart, Adam created the key in its memory and, when activated, serves to close all access to the shops and check in detail every corner to find missing children, as result of the creation of this key has trapped many who have tried to take children without their consent, among them are parents who have custody disputes surprised at the time of kidnapping the children.

Meanwhile John Walsh was united to his wife Reve in this hard trance and I have three more children and are called Cal, the boys and two girls, Megan and Hayden (all of them and more today), has written three best books seller: Tears of Rage (tears of rage) in 1997, No Mercy (Without Mercy) in 1998 and Public Enemies (Public Enemy) in 2001, and also hosts the wildly successful TV show on FOX America's Most Wanted (the most Wanted U.S.) program that is in the air since 1988.

If something can be learned from this is that children should never be neglected, the life of a child is priceless.
