But, that’s not where Harris’ story and investigation ends.
Indeed, if you follow Harris’ work with ABC and The Miami Herald, you too may come to the conclusion that police fingered the wrong man. Harris’ evidence included seven witnesses that saw Dahmer at the mall around the time of the disappearance, along with a police report that stated that the infamous killer was living and working a mere 20 minutes away from the Hollywood mall where Adam was abducted from. True-crime author Arthur Jay Harris has been following the Adam Walsh case almost since its inception, and he first challenged police’s official statements when he posited that Jeffrey Dahmer, and not Toole, was the likely culprit for the crime. This is the story we know well, but, everything may not be what it seems. In 2008, Ottis Toole, a serial killer who died in 1996, was recognized as the man behind the grisly murder. John Walsh, Adam’s father, went on to champion unsolved crimes in his America’s Most Wanted television program, using his son’s loss as the impetus for his campaign. Two weeks later, Adam’s severed head was found in a canal, and to this day, the rest of his body has never been recovered. His mother, Reve Walsh, left him unattended for several minutes, and when she returned, he was gone. On July 27, 1981, six-year old Adam Walsh vanished from a Hollywood, Florida shopping mall.
