0:00.0	It's the image of Adam Walsh that everyone's seen, a smiling little boy in a baseball cap
0:26.0	with a T-ball bat and missing baby teeth, wholesome, all-American, fresh-faced.
0:32.4	It's hard not to look at Adam's face and picture the man he would have grown to be.
0:37.1	What would he be doing with his life? Based on all of the things that he loved,
0:41.2	drawing, video games, soccer, lunar eclipses, what would he have grown up to be?
0:47.5	An artist, an athlete, a game developer? When you're six years old and if you have nurturing
0:54.3	loving parents, like Adam did, your life is all about exploring and growing into what will

1:52.4	Kaley Anthony, Madeline McCann, and so many others. These cases get the world invested in their
2:00.2	outcomes. And the murder of Adam Walsh left an indelible cultural impact. Has there ever been a
2:07.5	missing child case whose parents' pain and anguish was so thoroughly documented in the media?
2:13.8	Whose cultural impact was so enormous? You already may know much of the story,
2:20.0	and how Adam's father, John Walsh, became one of the world's most famous crusaders for justice.
2:26.4	And the show he created, America's Most Wanted, has led to the capture of over a thousand fugitives
