Primetime TV's leading reality crimebuster and victims' rights activist returned in tears to the horrific murder that launched his career. Florida police made the formal determination that the late Ottis Toole had been the assailant who kidnapped John Walsh's six-year-old son Adam from a Sears department store back in 1981 and beheaded him. ABC's Pierre Thomas (embargoed link) paid tribute to the decision by Walsh in his grief to turn "unspeakable pain into something positive." In 1984 Walsh co-founded the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and in 1988 his TV show, a "national neighborhood watch," went on the air. CBS' Kelly Cobiella quoted the still-bereaved pursuer of America's Most Wanted: "There is no closure. Only justice."
