John Walsh, the host of TVs America's Most Wanted became an advocate for crimes against children after his own son Adam was kidnapped and murdered in Hollywood, FL in the early 1980s. Adam was taken from a department store with his mother nearby and was found much later decapitated. Walsh suspected that a drifter named Otis Toole was the murderer and just recently was proved by DNA testing. Toole wandered the country with another murderer name Henry Lee Lucas murderering and robbing any number of people. When Adam Walsh was taken, Toole had been left by himself because Lucas was finally arrested and was in prison in Texas. Toole was finally arrested himself and was sent to prison but was never charged with Adam's murder. He died in prison never admitting any guilt in the Walsh crime. Interesting fact:Lucas was originally given the death penalty which was later commuted by then Texas govener George W. Bush. Lucas and Toole claimed to have killed hundreds of people all over the country. When discovered that they had grossly inflated the number of murders they committed Bush felt he could not be executed for crimes he may not have committed, hence the commuted sentence. Lucas died in Huntsville prison in Texas without a true body count.
