After Etan: The Missing Child Case That Held America Captive, by Lisa Cohen:

Cohen: It was the Friday before Memorial Day weekend and this was going to be one of his last opportunities and they finally relented and said he could go. According to author Lisa Cohen, Etan's mom kisses him goodbye and watches him walk toward the bus stop. Everything seems fine, so his mother runs back upstairs to take care of her two year old. At the end of the school day, when he didn't come home, his mom calls police. Cohen: By that time several hours had past, before anyone had any idea that something was wrong---those were crucial hours for an investigation Etan's dad, frantic, starts grabbing photos to show people in the neighborhood. Investigators interview the parents and start canvasing the area for the youngster.

The story For nearly three decades, John Walsh's black leather jackets and swagger have made him a crime-fighting cultural icon. But when he returned this week to the Hollywood police station, he was once again the father of a murdered child. His face was ashen. His eyes were red and brimming with tears. He clutched the hand of his wife, Reve, as police closed the books Tuesday on their 27-year investigation into his boy's abduction, murder and decapitation. Ottis Toole, a convicted pedophile and murderer who was a partner of serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, was officially named the killer. Toole died in prison for an unrelated crime in 1996.

All About Adam WalshAmerica's Most Wanted Don't Miss Cops close books on Adam Walsh murder JON M. FLETCHER/The Times-Union Jesse "Buddy" Terry is a retired Jacksonville homicide detective who interviewed serial killer Ottis Toole after Toole was arrested in Jacksonville in 1982 in an arson murder. Toole confessed to Terry that he murdered other people, including 6-year-old Adam Walsh, who he beheaded in South Florida. South Florida police later accused Terry of feeding Toole information about the case to get a movie and book deal. Terry said he was a scapegoat because police struggled with solving the slaying. On Tuesday, Hollywood police closed the case, saying Toole was the killer, despite no new evidence.
