Answer 2

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.
