Bringing Adam Home

Before Adam Walsh there were no faces on milk cartons, no Amber Alerts, no federal databases of crimes against children. His abduction and murder?unsolved for more than a quarter of a century?forever changed America. Shocked by Adam's murder and the inability of the police and FBI to find his killer, Adam's parents, Revé and John Walsh?who would go on to create America's Most Wanted?became advocates for the transformation of law enforcement's response to and handling of such cases.Bringing Adam Home is the definitive account of this horrifying crime and its aftermath, a true story of tragedy, love, faith, and dedication. It reveals the pain and tenacity of a family determined to find justice, the failed police work that allowed a killer to remain uncharged, and the relentless efforts of one cop who accomplished what an entire legal system could not. As harrowing as In Cold Blood, yet ultimately uplifting, Bringing Adam Home is the riveting story of a triumph of justice and the enduring power of love.
