BREAKING NEWS: Florida police solve Adam Walsh killing
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities in South Florida plan to announce that they've finally
solved the 1981 killing of a little boy whose father later gained fame as the host of "America's Most Wanted."
Hollywood police have scheduled a news conference this afternoon to close the case of the abduction and homicide of 6-year-old Adam Walsh.
Adam's parents, John and Reve Walsh, long ago derided the investigation as botched. Both were expected to attend the news conference.
The boy went missing from a Hollywood mall on July 27, 1981. Fishermen discovered his severed head in a canal 120 miles away two weeks later. The rest of his body was never found.
