The Adam Walsh Story
On July 27, 1981, 6-year-old Adam Walsh and his mother Revé went
to a department store about a mile away from their home to shop for lamps.
When they entered the store Adam saw several children playing video games
on a television monitor and asked if he could stay to play. His mother
let him stay and went to the lamp department, which was about 75 feet
away. Because the lamp she wanted was not in stock she returned rather
quickly, less than 10 minutes later, but couldn’t find Adam. After
looking for Adam on her own for two hours, someone finally called the
local police department. By the end of that week thousands of fliers with
Adam’s photograph were distributed through the local area. Sixteen
days after Adam disappeared from the store his body was found and identified.
