HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (Dec. 16) – Authorities in South Florida say they’ve finally solved the 1981 killing of a boy whose father later gained fame as the host of “America’s Most Wanted.”
Hollywood police said Tuesday that a man long considered the lead suspect in 6-year-old Adam Walsh’s death has finally been named as the man responsible for the crime. But he won’t be tried: Serial killer Ottis Toole died in prison more than a decade ago.
