Serial Child Killer in Florida
« on: December 17, 2008, 01:26:55 PM »

Adam Walsh murdered and decapitated 27 years ago.

A serial killer who died in prison in 1996 was guilty of the murder and decapitation of a six-year-old boy 27 years ago, say Florida police.

The naming of Ottis Toole as Adam Walsh's killer brings an end to one of America's best-known unsolved cases.

Police said the discovery was made after a thorough review of records.

The case radically affected police procedures over missing children and inspired the TV show "America's Most Wanted", presented by Adam's father.

Adam went missing from a shop in Hollwood in 1981. His head was recovered from a canal two weeks later but his body was never found.

Toole, a convicted killer and paedophile, had long been suspected of involvement in the murder and had admitted guilt at least twice, but later recanted.

At a news conference, Hollywood Police Chief Chad Wagner said that as Toole was dead, further legal action was not possible and the Walsh family were not seeking it.

"However, in the interest in justice, the Hollywood Police Department is announcing today that it is our determination and conclusion that Ottis Toole was the abductor and murderer of Adam Walsh," said Mr Wagner.

Journey over

John Walsh, Adam's father told the news conference: "For 27 years we've been asking, 'Who could take a six-year-old boy and murder him and decapitate him?'.

"We needed to know and today we know. The not knowing, it's been a torture, but that journey is over."
