I just saw a blurb that they think that Jeffrey Dahmer may have killed John Walsh (Americas most wanted) son. Do you think that he did it? He admitted to the other murders but would not admit to this one.

It was confirmed by police that Dahmer was living and working in the area that the walsh's lived. Also, there are witnesses that saw him at the mall that day.

According to the reports coming out Dahmer WAS living in the same area of Florida during that time, and people are reporting seeing him there-at the mall where he vanished from. But...on the other hand. How on earth can these witnesses remember such detail from so many years ago? Also, a little boy doesnt really fit in with Dahmers profile-of who he liked to kill.
But look at it this way. Its pretty much accepted that Dahmer probably killed many more people than we will ever know of. He only confessed to the crimes in the state he was captured in, because that state didnt have the death penalty. It is pretty much known he did kill in other states such as Ohio and others, but he never confessed to those because he was trying to avoid the death penatly. He is even suspected in killings over in Europe when he was stationed there in the military.
Dahmer was so mixed up, that he might not have had only one type of victim he went after. He might have liked grown male prostitutes, and then again he might have also liked little boys as well.
Even though both Walsh and Dahmer are dead now they do need to investigate any possible leads.

No one knows for sure, as all the evidence is circumstantial. Adam Walsh's murder occurred in 1981 and to this day it is not known who killed him. Adam's father, John Walsh (of "America's Most Wanted") believes Adam's kidnapper and murderer was a man named Ottis Toole, who died in prison back in 1996. He described Adam's kidnapping and murder exactly (with details never released to the public) and confessed to it. When I read John Walsh's book on his son's case, it was clear that in his heart he believed it was Toole. Is it possible it may have been Dahmer? Sure, he lived in the area at the time. All I hope is that the FBI isn't opening another can of worms here. John and Reve Walsh have been tormented by shoddy police work and nowhere investigations for 26 years now. I certainly wouldn't believe a thing until I heard John and Reve say that they approve of this investigation. The mistakes made by the police in Hollywood, FL were awfully incompetent, and may very well have cost this little boy his life. If this investigation gives John and Reve some peace, so they don't always have to wonder, then I'm all for it. However, all it is doing right now is reopening wounds. It would be terribly unfair for the Walsh family to go through having Adam's body exhumed again just to learn that this agent was mistaken. This tragedy and their grief would be insurmountable for many of us. If they decide they don't want to go through this rigamarole again, I hope the media leaves them alone.

Absolutely Not!!! Besides the fact that Jeffrey Dahmer was not in Florida in 1981, Adam Walsh did not fit the victim profile that Dahmer preferred.
Dahmer was quite selective, in the fact that he chose victims that he thought that no one would miss. (For example, male prostitutes. A young child would have definitely been missed.)
Further, it is widely believed that a convicted serial killer by the name of Otis Toole killed young Adam Walsh. (Toole has confessed several times to the killing--later to recant each time.)

NO,
Jeffrey liked prostitutes, of ethnic backgrounds, not white children. he had a certain type he liked to abuse.
I doubt Jeffrey Daumer killed poor Adam Walsh. Adam's family was suburban, not urban. This filthy trash Jeffrey Daumer liked garbage people, the dirtyer the better for him. Not clean and neat.
God Rest Adam's soul
Poor darling endured more torture than any human should.
Rest His Soul
