Serial Killer. He was the man responsible for the kidnapping and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh on July 27, 1981, the son of television's "America's Most Wanted" show host, John Walsh. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, his alcoholic father soon abandoned the family, and he was raised by a religious fanatic of a mother and a Satanist grandmother. To further compound his identity, his mother and sister would dress him in girl's clothing. With an IQ of 75, he was considered intellectually disabled and dropped out of school in the 8th grade. His first murder took place when he was 14 when he murdered a traveling salesman who had molested him. He married briefly, but his wife left him after three days, repulsed by his overt homosexuality. Unable to keep a job, he began to drift about the Western US in an old pickup truck, and later evidence suggests that he began his serious murder spree at this time. Two years later, Toole met serial killer Henry Lee Lucas at a Jacksonville soup kitchen, and the two became fast friends, sharing sex, robbery, and murder together. Finding work with a Jacksonville roofing company, the two men would frequently disappear for several days, while they would pick up a woman, rape, and murder her. During this period, Toole supposedly introduced Lucas to a satanic cult, the "Hand of Death," which practiced human sacrifice and murder. When Toole's mother died in 1981, and his sister died shortly afterward of a drug overdose, while Lucas was in jail for a minor crime, Toole was alone for the first time. It was during this period that Adam Walsh was kidnapped and murdered. All that was found of Adam was his head, ripped from his body, and left in a Florida canal. When Lucas returned from jail, to slip away with Toole's niece, Frieda Powell, Toole felt abandoned and betrayed. He went on the road to forget the betrayal, taking his revenge out by killing 9 people between January 1982 and February 1983. In May 1983, he was arrested for torching two houses (arson) in Jacksonville, Florida, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Shortly afterward, Lucas was captured in Texas and confessed to multiple murders committed with Toole. As police investigated both men, Toole also confessed, admitting up to 25 murders in 11 states, and participating with Lucas in an additional 108 murders. Convicted of two murders in Florida, he was sentenced to death, but both sentences were commuted to life imprisonment. He died of cirrhosis of the liver in September 1996, while in prison. His friend and partner in crime, Henry Lee Lucas, would also die in prison. On December 16th, 2008, the Hollywood Police Department finally identified Adam Walsh's killer as Ottis Toole.
