After recording and releasing the S/T, they took the band to the stage. Recruiting Matt Of Two Inch Winky to play guitar and Eric’s brother, Andrew, to play bass.

The live shows are fond memories for the handful of fans. Instead of a mosh pit, Mike would lead the crowd in a high-five pit. The band would play CincyPunkFest multiple times, a few regional festivals and many basement shows.

Personality clashes with Eric led to guitarist Matt leaving, and vocalist Mike leaving while the band was playing a show.

Eric did carry on with additional musicians: John on guitar, Jon then Ryan on bass, and Dan on Vocals. The band eventually disbanding after two reunion shows.

Positive Hardcore.

@nevadatan7323

Firstly, my absolute condolences to every direct and indirect person affected by this horrific case.

I will probably edit this as I watch through the video when ideas cross my mind. It's a LONG ASS POST.

1] Could the white ceramic fragments likely be from decapitation upon a tiled surface, eg bathroom? That could somewhat explain how the positioning of the cuts shifted as head would reposition itself. To me that's far more likely than a ceramic/enamelled 5inch bladed instrument right? They moved the body into a kitchen or bathroom for ease of clean up.

2] re: Adam would follow directionsof an authority figure"
I think seeing as its very easy to jump to it being an inside job, authority to a child could just be something as simple as a polite adult, or even the authority of another child.

3) I can aaaabsolutely understand why the police went after the morally questionable adult man who lived at the home. However its also such a trapping to be tempted by the clear cut options of a case in order to close it. That's totally understandable in terms of small police forces with the eyes of the world on you (think Lesley Molseed/Yorkshire ripper UK cases). We ought to remember the balance between frustration of local forces vs ineptitude and funding vs eyes of world vs injustice.
Not just injustice to the victim, but society is at risk if the case is closed and a killer is free to kill again.

I'm so late to this but ...
1. Monsters are real.

2. Sometimes they're not strangers waiting outside of malls. Sometimes we share the same name. There's never an untrained 17 yr old security guard to blame. Even the most vigilant parent has buried a child because.. it simply happened. Over time I've wondered what is luck, fate, negligence, accident. It all becomes muddled. My story is similar to many others. It does not hold a candle to what little Adam endured.

3. As a true crime junkie, I appreciate videos that are informative and open minded. Even if some details are dark, or some information isn't popular to hear. You're clear, efficient, and detailed. I love it and just subbed up. Excellent presentation.

4. As a kid, I wasn't made to wear a seat belt, I literally stood up in the car ...my parents way of keeping me safe was to stick their arm out across me as a reflex. They chain smoked like fiends with the windows up both in the car and in the house. Liquor was left out in glass decanters, prescription pills were easily reachable in medicine cabinets, fire arms were out in the open. Lighters and matches were accessible. I walked alone for a mile at the school bus stop (latchkey kid). If anyone was home, our doors weren't locked, and windows were left open. If someone knocked ... I answered the door if my parents were home (I still could have been snatched up). I swam unattended and played with other kids outside for hours until it got dark. Depending on the friend, we were in and out of each other's houses and I didn't stop to alert my parents. If we went to a mall or department store, I ran to the toy section of stores to hang out. There was a jar of change on the counter and I took the city bus across town to see my Grandma once a week. Walking to/from the bus stop alone, riding it alone.

Interestingly, my life was not much different than my other friends. My parents were seen as "good people" and "good parents". I have no idea if it falls under the category of, "Those were different times" ... or ... "It depended upon where you lived" etc. Technology has evolved to help solve crime ... and it has made crime more feasible as well.

I guess I got lucky. That said ... I am a survivor of childhood physical and s**ual abuse. My monsters were not strangers. They were relatives and "close friends of the family". My parents unknowingly had predators among them ... blending in with us. Right under their noses. I recall even small things happening momentarily just feet away from them. They were none the wiser. I never said a word -- because of threats and warnings the monsters had given me early on. The scariest being that if I told my parents, they'd k*ll my parents. I believed them.

I survived obviously and as an adult I regularly see a therapist. Enough about me. I think you see where I was going with that. Point is, I got lucky all those times I was left alone. Adam was not lucky. He didn't have the luxury of growing up to share childhood trauma stories. Adam's murder horrifies me. It always has. All crimes against children affect me worse ..but his demise makes my blood run cold. Certain elements make a bigger imprint on me. Either way... thank you for sharing his story. I'm going to listen to part 2 now. Regards.

That's a giant omission if you ask me.

When Dahmer came back from Germany and lived in Florida he did not kill children. He was quite forthcoming and open about his killings. He said he would admit if he had murdered Adam and denied it.

I met John Walsh at a Florida theme park when I was 14. I saw him in the food area and then in the bathroom and he shook my hand and talked to me briefly. I only knew him as the host of America's Most Wanted and didn't learn until years later what a horrifying and personal toll he paid to BECOME the host. The man is my hero because while his own bloodlust and revenge and JUSTICE for his son Adam had been taken from him, he instead used his life to putting slime like that back in prison. He likely prevented this horror from happening to others.

It was always 2 different kids on the cartons. Mom never talked to me about strangers and also never talked to me about good touch/bad touch but I instinctively knew. I think in her mind, she was trying to shelter me. FF to when I was in jr high, a man pulled over with NY plates (lived in vt at the time) and asked if i wanted a ride. I said no, kept walking and as soon as i was far enough away from the car, i ran for my life thru neighbors yards. Waited a while, hiding in a back yard, didnt want the man to know where I lived. Then ran home about 10 mins later. Told my mom, she called the cops but nothing more was done about it, at all! I was afraid walking to and from school for a while after.

John Walsh is just a wonderful man he really really is. I have looked up to that man since I was a kid. I was a victim of child sex abuse and I never got Justice they never identified my attackers I was 8 years old. I ended up surviving my ordeal. but I know a lot of people who have a lot of respect for John Walsh because of what he does and the fact that he turned grief into something to save lives.I enlisted in the army after high School I served honorably and then fell into trouble with drugs that led me to a two-year prison sentence for stealing jewelry. And even in prison I saw guys who were in prison applauding the efforts of John Walsh on TV because even a convict hates a sex offender. We always used to wish we could get our hands on the sex offenders if we could I would probably still be in prison now because I would kill a sex offender without a second thought. Poor Adam Walsh he did not deserve what happened to him. his father didn't deserve it either and he had a good father. I have good parents it was not my parents fault when I was victimized we had recently moved to 2 Maine from California and we didn't know anybody and my family needed to work my parents need to work so they left me in the care of an elderly lady that they did not know very well. She had some grandchildren two grandsons they were teenagers and I was 8 years old. They decided to take me into town we were riding bicyclesand that's when they seemed to recognize two other teenagers two teenage boys. Anyway long story short they grabbed me off my bikeand I'm not going to go into any detail about what happened but I was angry for so many years after that fights in school. My father died a couple years after it was just a nightmare and although it seemed clear that the babysitter's grandchildren knew who this guy and his friend were my attackers, I did not report what happened for about a year after I was ashamed of what happened I was 8 years old and I didn't get it. By the time I told my mother my father had passed away my mother contacted the old lady she brought her grandchildren over to talk to the police and they said they did not know these other teenagers. it could have been telling the truth I suppose but didn't seem that way to me definitely seem like they all knew each other. it also was strange because the two grandchildren just left me stranded with these other two teenagers. They claimed not to know their names a description was all that was given and it didn't lead to anything thank God for John Walsh and rest in peace Adam

Very well researched and presented, thank you. In my mind I see very little reason to believe Toole was involved, you have to ignore that he got pretty much every detail wrong, and had at least one police officer working with him on a imagined book deal, just crazy land.

In my mind, 5% chance toole did it, 45% chance Dahmer did it, 50% chance an unknown person did it. Dahmer makes much more sense to me than Toole, and Dahmer not having a car just makes it more likely he’d use the work vehicle which may or may not have been available…

I know it was the 80’s and a different time, but I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Mrs. Walsh left her 6 year old child unattended while she went to find a lamp. My child no matter what age is always with me, riding in the cart or holding my hand. I am not particularly blaming her but that was neglect on her part for just walking away trusting that her little one would be okay playing video games without adult supervision. Overall it is sad and I am sure the mother feels some guilt, which is also sad.

where did the kids go that were kicked out? Who were they? I think it'd be odd for teenagers to leave the kid alone too. Even teenagers would've known to help him find his parents. Did he go somewhere with them? Also are they sure he was decapitated? He could've just decomposed in the water and been subjected to wildlife too. I'm more inclined to believe his whole body was tossed in there. maybe the teens did something to him. Did they determine who those kids were and interview them? They were obviously the last to see him.

I think it's easy to be an armchair detective and try to come up with plausible suspects and scenarios. The police aren't going to reveal all their cards as to why they settled on Toole. I've read some of the forensic data they've gathered. It sounds like that they have more than they're telling us, but based on what I've been able to get access to, I wouldn't have gone to court with it as I'd have no faith on getting Toole convicted let alone indicted.

I had no clue this happened to John Walsh America's most wanted! I was born in 82. I just looked up mall lost kids because I just recently was in a terrifying situation. I have 4 kids, we went to the mall quickly to return a shirt I had bought. Upon exiting the mall, I made sure my kids were behind me. I turned around and my youngest 5 year old was gone!

For about 10 minutes me and the other kids could not find him! At this point I almost blacked out because of panic and stress but I knew I had to stay calm and keep it together to find him! I yelled screamed my kids were all frantic looking around. We asked around but everyone was minding their own and said they had no idea they had not seen him. I chased down mall security and I reported missing child the. I raced back into the mall to look EVERYWHERE. I knew the longer the time went the worse it was. I was almost going to the worst place that some sicko stole my child. I almost lost it, and the. I looked over and saw him!!! An elder lady with her grandkids was holding his hand!!! She said he came up to her and said I lost my mommy. She asked him what's his my mom's name ,and he told her. She said she was looking around. Thank you Jesus!! I cried so hard, and now I'm still crying all throughout this documentary. I feel exactly what it's like to lose track of child even in that split moment, even though my child end up being withba safe stranger!! I hugged the lady and cried! She ended up being a retired kinder teacher. . It's terrifying to know what could've happened if he went to the wrong person or down the wrong stairwell into the garage. and I'm thinking of what horror Adam was going through. Calling out for his mommy!! I can't stop crying for Adam 😭 Rest peacefully little one.

It was in NTC California when I read his book. It was the very first true crime I ever read. I was Army during training in the desert. We repaired the imaging and laser symptoms on the M1A1 tanks. We had lots of downtime and someone loaned me the book. I read it in one day. I say all these details in my life bc I was so affected by this book. I remember where I was on 911. The space shuttle disaster. This book also made me remember many details since then. It was 2002. Since then I read dozens of true crime. Many gruesome. I always reflect on this tragedy esp now I have a 7 year old. But progress has been made. We still have a ways to go but this family changed and saved lives. But I can’t imagine it helps the horrors of their nightmare although saving lives has given them purpose.

The first true crime book I read was on the Dr. Jeffrey McDonald murder of his family. His father-in-law wrote the infamous book on it - Fatal Vision. The forensics involved at the time got me absolutely hooked. The murders happened at Fort Bragg. Do you remember that?my grandfather was stationed there a very short time around this period and I was extra hooked. [Note: I read this as a CHILD - 12 years old!

Why didn't the lady working at the store try to contact any of the parents before forcing the boys outside? I've run across situations like this. I would always ask someone as little Adam where his parents were. Not assume he was with a bunch of older kids.

Easy to say I know, but common sense would point me to that action. I would never force a six year old boy outside where his mother wouldn't know whwre he was. Make an announcement. Get the mom to collect her child, even if he was causing some disturbance. A see six year old is too little to just kick out. Even in '81, there are weirdos everywhere .

I think a lot of youtubers are younger sometimes and don't realize that the way the world is now wasn't the way it was then... even in the 90's I used to walk all over our end of town and my parents didn't really think anything of it... I also remember getting kicked out of stores, it was a pretty common thing even in the 90's, long after this had happened to little Adam. I don't really blame Reve for leaving him to play in the store, every other mom was doing the same thing... and you had the little boy in New York who was abducted walking to school, I'm pretty sure BEFORE this case.

People knew about this stuff but it was so rare nobody thought it would happen to them. Once people saw Adam's face on t.v., and the avalanche of missing kids that came later, people started changing what was acceptable and what they'd let their children do, most people would never let their kids just wander around the store at 6 years old now, but back then it was very common. I don't blame the security guard either, like I said I got kicked out of stores as a kid... people kind of assumed that all the adults were looking out for all the kids. If the guy at the grocery store saw yo udon't something stupid he might tell your mom, or whatever.

It's pretty amazing that John and Reve stayed together, their marriage was already about over when this happened! Very admirable people in my opinion.

If you think about it, T.V. came around in the 50's, this was the first time that people made a big deal out of some little kid going missing, everybody heard about it and it's basically all because John Walsh made it happen. Now if a kid goes missing, of course the news runs with it 24/7. John made that happen. Very impressive.

I went to school with Adam, my first grade photo we’re standing next to each other. My family also knew the Walsh’s. I walked that mall at least once a month so I’m familiar with the layout and the Atari stand. One crucial point is that the lamp isle was a mere feet from it and if Reve was there it’s impossible she didn’t hear the kids arguing and would’ve peaked around the corner to check on Adam. Reve and James were having an affair but John had kicked him out a couple weeks prior so why was he at the house after John left for work for breakfast and Adam was given an orange popsicle and watching tv, not eating with them. I doubt they were eating breakfast… Adam was by far the most shy kid I’ve ever known. The teacher wouldn’t call on him to answer a question because he was so shy he never spoke. Adam would have never stood at that arcade with older boys alone, he didn’t even play with the boys at school. And Reve provided a timeline saying James left at 10am and she left at 11. Reve says she went to St Marks, my school, to drop off a tuition check but the school was closed in July for summer break, then went to the mall but she didn’t get there until 12:30, the timings completely unrealistic. Oh I can go on and on but I can say that throughout these years, I’m now 47, I’ve had time to process what happened with my own thoughts, what I remember about Adams personality, how Reve was absent for school meetings - we all thought Adam only had a father since Reve was never there and the conclusion I come to is, James Campbell and it doesn’t end there but due to my thoughts only being my sole opinion, I won’t comment further.

When he smiled, I smiled. Our class was small, 10 kids in the same classroom 9 months a year, it was one big family. Our desks were the kind that opened at the top and our lunches, books, etc went in the storage area so we’d even eat our lunches together. The school was closed a few years ago, it broke my heart, it was my church as well. In memory of Adam the school had a beautiful olive tree planted in the front near the 1st grade classroom. The news wanted to come but it was closed for students, family and faculty only. Of course the Walsh’s were invited but they didn’t come, I believe the school reached out to them but never heard back. It’s so different to have experienced it firsthand than hearing about it. There was an apartment complex across from the school and after Adams abduction gates were installed and bushes planted. We had to be escorted by an adult to use the restrooms which were down a long hallway and to this day all of my classmates stay in touch and we always say ‘that could have been one of us’ which is a haunting feeling we all still have and will follow us unfortunately.

I grew up near near there there and in fact my mom worked At the Sears in the pompano fashion square mall (a 15 min drive) In Pompano Beach which was the neighboring town to the North. She was the stores PB X operator and was in charge of charge of making all of the store announcements while running the switchboard. She was at work when when this happened. Although I was only 2 years old years old when he was abducted I abducted I still remember the huge impact it made in South Florida. My parents became borderline psychotic after that after that happened happened especially my dad. Parents were giving their little kids the little kids bottles of mace yes but thank God for the public my parents were smart enough not enough not to arm me. The elementary school I attended had a big picture of Adam Walsh on the wall in the lobby as a way to remind all of us of us about the dangers of talking to strangers. Parents were so freaked out out for years or years after after it happened so so much so that they were inventing Stories as a way of of scaring the hell out hell out of their kids Hoping it would help to keep them safe.. For example I was once told by my father (who was an educator BTW) that Since they only found Lee found Adam's head the rest of Adam's bof Adam's body was wandering around In search of another little boy little boy who wandered away's head to take. I know that sounds awful and believe me it was but it was the perfect story to tell a kid like me who was not afraid of anything. My parents were in there mid thirties 30 so they were really old and slow. I was a very impatient escape artist artist so so reminding me of that that searching for a little boy's head thing really worked.

@@astoldbytheolyn4382 That is the title I’m finding online now. I’m not sure if it was the same as the original. The one I have from my childhood was written shortly after the news broke, if in fact, my memory serves me correctly. If yours is older....that’s probably it.

She left her 6 year old son alone in a public mall for 10 minutes, all for a lamp?

@HomesteadGirls

I cringed when you said they used a front loader to dig up possible remains of a child.

I always heard the name Adam Walsh growing up but never really bothered to look into it before.

Sadly, there was literally nothing at that site (Mile Marker 126). Toole either made it up or could not recall where he put Adam...or maybe he lied. When they use a front loader they supposedly go as slowly and gently as possible, but yeah, major cringe. If there was just one spot to dig up perhaps they would have done it manually but since there were many areas of interest they brought in heavy machinery.

Why would a security guard tell a 6 year old to exit the building without asking where his parents are ?

The security guard was an underage girl.

@@astoldbytheolyn4382 I live in Fort Worth Tx, I was born in 1978, when I was 9 years old I was riding home on the bus and as bus turned down my street I noticed a old blue colored late 60s or 70s dirty blue car sitting next to a wooden fence that was outside of a daycare on the same street. I noticed the car and a guy sitting in car which for some reason caught my eye as bus turned. My routine was I would have to rake leaves etc as chores if I wanted to go play, my step dad had me go rake the front yard a couple minutes after getting off bus. So I’m out in the front yard raking and my parents lived on a corner house, I look up the street and still see that blue car. The road is a road where every 10-20 seconds you will see cars drive by but this was a cold cloudy November day and their was nobody around almost like a movie. Sure enough the car starts driving down the street, he pulled up to the curb. stopped, then kept screeching out around block and even went in my elderly neighbors drive way and backed up again and pulled near curb. I can tell you it’s is very real about freezing up in that moment. My front door was only 25-40 yards away but it felt like in a dream where you move in slow motion. I went inside and told my mom there was a guy driving around, she went out in the front yard with me and here comes this guy again almost completely disregarding my mother s even there keeps speeding around and looking at me. My step dad was a huge golfer and would always have a golf club with him, my mom went in and said somebody’s trying to get Danny. So he waits behind his Ford Truck in driveway and sure enough here comes that car again, my dad walks across yard and yelled at him ‘ hey man ‘ and the guy sped off full speed down the hill. The last and creepiest thing I remember was he had no license plate, plate was removed. Another creepy factor is that it was cold that day in Nov 87’ I was too young to comprehend what happened but my mom told me the guy had his shirt off, shirtless driving around on a cold day like that. The part that scared my mom the most was that even when the guy saw my mom he still was on some kind of mission to get me no matter what. It gives insight into the sick brains of these people that do these things . As I got older I realized what that guy was trying to do. …….I will say that for all the bad things technology and cell phones have caused, it is a complete game changer when it comes to catching and stopping these creeps. 1987, no cell phones, no doorbell cameras etc

This is the first time I have seen Adam as a baby with his parents so happy. John Walsh' s wife Rev'e was hot. A million dollar smile turned to sorrow. At least he didn't die in vain. Adam was in the right place at the wrong time and Dahmer was in the wrong place at the right time. He had tried kinnapping young boys from other SEars locations but his attempt was foiled. In my gut I really believe he did this along with a dozen other witnesses. The author of FRustrated Witness tells all in his book. Willis Morgan came across the devil..
