Adam Walsh

Adam John Walsh 

November 14 1974 - July 27 1981

Age: 6 years old 

Adam was born on November 14 1974 to John and Reve Walsh in Florida, USA. Adam, nicknamed "Cooter" was described as a happy and kind-hearted little boy, who could light up a room with his sweet smile. He loved "Star Wars", playing baseball and listening to bedtime stories created by his father.

On July 27 1981, Adam and his mother, Reve, went to a shopping mall. While in a shop, Adam asked his mother if he could go to the arcade area to play with some older boys. Reve reluctantly said he could. At one point, the older boys was being very loud and the security told them to leave. It is believed that Adam got confused and thought that he had to leave aswell.

Once Adam got outside, he was abducted by Ottis Toole. Ottis told Adam he had candy in his van and Adam went with him. Adam wanted to go home and he started crying. Ottis said that he then punched Adam in the face. This made Adam cry more so Ottis thumped Adam on the head so hard that he knocked him out. Ottis drove Adam to a abandoned store where he raped Adam repeatedly for over 2 hours. When he was done, he decapitated Adam with a machete. He then threw his head in a canal. It is unknown where the rest of Adam's body is and it has never been found.

Adam's severed head was found in the canal on August 10 1981, 120 miles away from where he was last seen. Ottis Toole was sentenced to life in prison but he died in prison on September 15 1996.

Rest in peace Adam.
