John Walsh is a modern day hero and has changed the way America fights back!

John Walsh is a modern-day hero. He took a tragedy in his life, and he (and his wife) turned it around and in doing so, helped to bring thousands of victim's stories to light.

In 2008, Fox News broke the story of how John's son's suspected murderer, Ottis Toole, was announced to be his son's killer. Police Chief Chad Wagner told the press 'the serial killer who died in jail in 1996 was the man who kidnapped and decapitated John's young son, Adam Walsh.' (Fox News)

At the time, some viewers thought that perhaps John Walsh would retire, but his fight lives on.
