Adam Walsh: The Murder That Built the Missing-Children Movement

Adam Walsh: The Murder That Built the Missing-Children Movement

Think about the last time an AMBER Alert lit up your phone, or the last time you heard a Code Adam announcement at Walmart. All of it traces back to one crime and one father who refused to let his son's death be the end of the story. In 1981, 6-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears in Hollywood, Florida. The investigation was a disaster, but his father, John Walsh, took that failure and built an entire national system for finding missing children. Because of him, hundreds of thousands of kids have come home.

This is the final episode of The Crimes That Built America, a special four-part series on Murder: True Crime Stories hosted by Carter Roy.
