Adam John Walsh disappeared from a the mall in Hollywood, Florida on the afternoon of July 27th, 1981. He was six years old and it's believed that he got kicked out of the Sears store with a group of older boys. On August 10th, a severed head of a child was discovered in a drainage canal and it was identified as Adam. There were a few suspects early on, but nothing panned out. It took 27 years for the police to find the killer, Ottis Elwood Toole. He confessed, but later recanted and died in prison. After the case was closed, it was discovered that an autopsy wasn't performed, and several pieces of evidence disappeared, including a whole ass car! Even though the case is closed, some people believe that another serial killer was involved, Jeffrey Dahmer. And what if the skull that was found, didn't even belong to Adam?
