Adam Walsh Crime Scene Locations - America's Most Wanted

is it's been a frustrating five days since six-year-old adam walsh was last seen his disappearance has prompted community-wide concern in south broward late this afternoon volunteers met with adam's parents to continue their search close to tears john walsh stood on a car asking people not to give up hope searched and searched for adam and we haven't found a body so everybody thinks he's alive we do too and uh we feel that since you people have searched so hard the best thing we can do now is get these flyers in everybody's hands because the police are so frustrated nobody's really come forth and the clues that we have really we haven't been haven't come up with anything substantial [Music] so for this portion of the video jessica is gonna be sitting this one out mainly to watch the car because we aren't parked on the side of the turnpike i don't recommend doing this folks today we find ourselves on the side of the road of florida's turnpike going north mile marker 174. august 10 1981 adam walsh's severed head was found in a drainage ditch alongside the florida's turnpike just outside of vera beach we're heading to that drainage ditch right now it's loud but i'm being safe now at the time of adam's death in 1981 this mile marker 174 was a completely different number but over time over years things change the road expands now it's mile marker 174 and straight ahead just beyond the speed limit 70 sign to the right is where adam's head was found it's crazy to think that such history dark history happened right here we're going to talk about it a little bit more but this is the scene right here looking at old photos from 1981 of this area and a police diagram of the actual crime scene just sitting here it's easy to see well to piece together the crime scene that pipe that you see sticking out that was there just beyond the pipe it's a little hard to see but i will point it out very soon there's a broken down bridge you can see some wood from where i'm sitting but that fence that you see in about the center of your screen right about the center of your screen is where adam's head was found august 10th 1981. [Music] on august 7 1981 a publix delivery driver noticed a blue van parked right in about the center of your screen and down here in the drainage canal just behind that pipe that we were just pointing out the bridge they noticed that there was a man standing down there with a white bucket dumping something into the water are you ready for this craziness that man turned out to be through investigation jeffrey dahmer the cannibal from milwaukee he was actually living here in florida at the time adam walsh went missing they thought jeffrey dahmer killed adam walsh and even though jeffrey dahmer was actually placed at the scene of the crime three days before he didn't do it i could be wrong but i do believe that there is an interview where jeffrey dahmer is stated as saying listen man i told you everything that i've done the names of the people and how many i would confess to killing that boy if i did it i didn't do it i honestly don't know why there's not a memorial here for adam walsh i feel like there really should be i mean i get it a lot of places want to forget about things that happened and to be honest to get to this actual location where adam's head was found it's actually pretty dangerous and i don't recommend it so i can see why they don't want to have a memorial stating that this is where this piece of history happened sucks it does [Music] there was a killer by the name of addis tool or otis tool depending on who you talked to who was in cahoots with another serial killer by the name of henry lee lucas at the time of adam walsh's death artist tool was living in jacksonville he was spending some time down in hollywood florida and it is believed that outside of the hollywood mall in front of a sears artist toll abducted well lord adam walsh into his car with the promise of toys and candy hopped on the turnpike adam walsh started freaking out and tried to quiet him out his toe punched adam walsh in the face still wasn't crying while still wasn't behaving he was crying even more so so he strangled him with a seat belt and then from that point the events of adam's death get pretty grisly this is otis tool whom the law has judged seine of mind he is currently serving a prison term of over 300 years at stark penitentiary in florida he granted us an interview uh you're responsible for close to 700 murders what do you have to say about that i ain't done one hour when gonna do 700. honestly not in here for a parking ticket how many crimes have you confessed to artists i don't know i ain't counting more than 125 i don't know i see you're smiling uh honestly confessed to the death of adam walsh but eventually denied it so nobody really knows the hollywood police department and adam's father the guy who created america's most wanted closed the case and artist tool is listed as the man who killed adam walsh [Music] for uh 27 years we've been asking who could take a six-year-old boy and murder him and decapitate him we needed to know we needed to know and today we know that not knowing has been a torture but that journey's over and a lot of horrible memories in this police department looking for that little boy and now i think it's uh it's only fitting that it ends here in this police department it's very murky his body was never found just his head and it's very sad and it all happened right here [Music] we decided to stop and visit this location on the way down to hollywood florida which is where adam and his family actually lived also where the hollywood mall the sears department store was that adam was abducted from the mall is no longer there but let's go visit it anyways [Music] it's crazy i'm on a very well relatively quiet street in hollywood florida i can hear the interstate off in the distance behind me is an elementary school but that greenhouse right there that's the house where john his wife and adam walsh lived when adam disappeared in 1981. that's no secret you can find it on the internet but 2801 mckinley street here in hollywood florida this small three-bedroom house is where the walsh's lived where everything started lives were changed [Music] it's crazy to think that so much can change in one morning it really is just a quick stop that we're making here but i felt that it was necessary this this house this street hollywood florida is where it all began even before they knew it was going to begin america's most wanted happened well started because of all of this [Music] hey would you look at that it's florida it decided it was gonna start raining and that's okay because you know what i kind of like the lighting when it rains here right now i'm standing in the target parking lot here at hollywood florida not too far from where the family house is back in 1981 when adam walsh and his dad and his mom were living here in hollywood florida this was the hollywood mall that's where the sears was where adam was abducted from the old hollywood mall has been torn down and from what we could tell from reading online the reason being that they tore it down was a teenage girl fell down an elevator shaft so this place has not been too kind to children i don't know if you can hear it but it is starting to rain a little heavier so we're going to go ahead and finish this segment in the car now keep in mind everything that we're going to talk about took place back when times were a little bit different back before america is most wanted adam's abduction happened in broad daylight in the middle of the day the police station is right across the street i'm sorry the police headquarters is right across the street there were people throughout the entire mall and their security guards present adam and his mom came to sears that day because she wanted to look into buying a lamp that was on sale when she did that she left adam with a bunch of kids a couple aisles over in the entertainment the video game section there was a new game that was coming out so adam and a bunch of boys hung out there when she went shopping for a lamp after a little bit of time she came back adam and the boys were gone she asked the security guard hey where's the kids that were here and he said and i'm not gonna quote this i don't know what the exact quote was in the police report that there was a little bit of a disagreement over who was going to play next so he had the kids find their parents and he had them leave them all adam was one of them and that was the last time anybody has ever seen adam walsh alive absolutely horrific history i know but something did come out of it that was good the tv show america's most wanted which was started by his dad as well as the the foundation that you were looking up earlier also something called code adam which is an alert that when a child goes missing in a department store like sears or target or walmart i see it mostly in walmart a code atom is called saying that a child has gone missing so that's because of adam is you
