WHO REALLY KILLED ADAM WALSH? Maybe it was Ottis Toole, as police say. But more signs seem to point to Jeffrey Dahmer. "Had authorities fully explored Dahmer's time in South Florida, they would have found more evidence implicating him than Toole, The Miami Herald found." --The Miami Herald DID DAHMER HAVE ONE MORE VICTIM? Witnesses Say They Saw Dahmer in Mall Where Adam Walsh Disappeared "Did Jeffrey Dahmer confess to all his crimes? A Miami author is making the case that Dahmer may be responsible for the Walsh slaying. WISN 12 News dissected his argument and has detailed the never-reported evidence that has at least one career FBI man calling to reopen the case against Dahmer." --WISN-TV Milwaukee DECADES LATER, NEW CLUES IN A COLD CASE "Now a fascinating new theory has surfaced: Could one of the most famous murders of our time have been the work of one of the most famous murderers of all time? For the past 11 years, a true-crime author named Arthur Jay Harris has been investigating the case on his own, and he has uncovered a shattering revelation. Who was working only minutes from that mall that morning? Jeffrey Dahmer, the serial killer." --ABC News Primetime WHO KILLED ADAM WALSH (AND IS HE REALLY DEAD?) THE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH BEHIND THE CRIME THAT LAUNCHED "AMERICA'S MOST WANTED" A two-book series (with a separate Single Edition, a condensation of both books) What if almost everything most everyone thinks about the Adam Walsh case is wrong? Here is the case's conventional knowledge: In Summer 1981, drifter Ottis Toole stole Adam from a mall in Florida and killed him, say police and Adam's parents, John and Reve Walsh. Although Jeffrey Dahmer became a suspect and was then living nearby, he couldn't have done it because his M.O. wasn't children as young as Adam, 6. But ten years of book research shows that most of this case's long-accepted basic facts are dead wrong: -Seven independent witnesses, their names found in police investigative files, identified Dahmer as who they saw at the mall either with or close by to Adam. -There is a problem, never before reported, with the identification of the child who was found and said to be Adam. After more than 30 years, this case has never come to trial -- and it never will because the case files are inexplicably missing their most essential forensic documents: A medical examiner identified the found child as Adam strictly by its teeth, but Adam's dental records, which he used for matching and was handled by three official agencies, is gone; there was never any forensic dental report; and worst, there was never even an autopsy report. That, especially, should never happen. As a result, prosecutors will never be able to establish in court that the child who was found is, in fact, Adam Walsh. -And most shockingly, it is extremely unlikely that the found child is Adam. When the positive ID of the found child as Adam was made, it was done quickly and announced hastily. But photographs and documents recently released in public records show that the found child has a top front tooth grown in almost all the way. That is much too far to match Adam. In his famous "Missing" picture, taken only a month before he vanished, Adam had neither top front tooth. His best friend last saw him a week or two before he disappeared, and he still didn't have them. After that, one front tooth did erupt. When the found child was discovered, Adam had been gone two weeks but the medical examiner said that he (Adam, he said) had been dead probably for all that time. Teeth don't keep growing after death. In the space of up to two weeks, the time after his friend last saw him and when he disappeared, top front teeth just don't grow that fast, from eruption to in almost all the way. If that's not Adam, who is it? And could Adam, incredibly, be a
