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.

I was a little older than Adam, when he went missing. I used to ask my Mom, to go look at things in the store, by myself, and she never said yes, even before this. When his disappearance made news, she sat me in front of the TV, and said, in so many words, that THIS was WHY. I never forgot that.

It's strange, to me, now, hearing that the security guard put a 6 year old, out of the store. I had never heard that detail, before. I remember accidentally separating from my Mom, in the grocery store. I was literally an aisle over, but, instead of even trying to find her, and winding up really lost, I turned around, and walked straight ahead, to the checkouts. The cashier asked my Mom's name, and stood me up on the counter, 1. So I could watch for her, and 2. So I wouldn't wander off. Even then, it didn't feel like we'd been separated more than 5 minutes. THIS was no later than 1981, so it appalls me, to hear about that! Thank God, for all that John Walsh has done, in memory of his little boy!

@@Tornado1994 Most of the confessions that Toole gave were riddled with false details. He couldn't even get the time of year right: Adam was kidnapped in July, Toole said he kidnapped Adam in January and that the child was wearing mittens. None of the evidence that could have been used to prove or disprove his involvement was ever tested or saved, and both Toole and his partner Henry Lee Lucas gave false confessions to over 500 murders, all of which were proven to be false. They even claimed to be members of a satanic cult that delivered the Kool-Aid to Jim Jones.

There is more evidence to show that Jeffrey Dahmer may have been responsible for Adam's death (he was in Hollywood, FL at the time) than there is for Toole. Even then though, it's all circumstantial. I don't think we'll ever know who really killed this poor kid.

I'll never understand that girl's decision to do this. Even though she was a 16, or 17 year old. I suspect she wasn't use to dealing with children. Because she should've had better sense then to throw a small child out in a mall parking lot like that. I was a teenager myself at the time of this tragic event, and had been babysitting a lot. I knew better than this.

That said, how did a teenager get any type of security guard employment? You usually have to get clearance for those jobs.
It's insane to put someone who is very young, & niave in a position of authority. I bet they were afraid of a lawsuit as John said. Whoever hired this dumb girl should have been fired, along with her...

@sean2015

3y↑114

I read John Walsh's book. The security guard falsely assumed Adam was in the company of the white Argentine boys who were arguing and fighting with the black boys. Adam was (as his father describes him) a "little gentleman" who was very deferential to adults, so when the security guard scolded the boys and kicked them out, Adam complied as he was too shy to speak up and explain himself.

1:54 Adam's mother wasn't browsing, she had seen a lamp in the Sears catalog and all she did was stop in at the store to ask an employee if it was in stock. Unbelievable that she was away from her son for no more than three minutes and he was gone.

I'm almost the same age as Adam and I remember this story very well, as well as the 1983 TV movie. At least partially as a result of this tragedy, throughout my childhood I was paranoid about interacting with strangers.

The security guard met with John Walsh years later, and told him that her guilt over this incident led her to become a nurse.

I remember seeing the movie “Adam” as a kid and I was heartbroken and just terrified that something so vicious and heinous could happen to an innocent child. That movie shook me to my core at 9 or 10 years old. I mean I can still see the iconic picture of Adam in my mind with his baseball cap, smiling with I think a little missing tooth and a bat behind his head. His father weeper saying he was only going to be remembered at that age even a hundred years from now. I’m in my 40’s now and his story still makes me so sad Inside. However John is such a powerful force to be reckoned with I mean this man and his wife literally turned their horrific pain into unbelievable passion and purpose to save thousands (if not millions) of lives from that day that they the killer took their beloved son away.

A C I had a nephew come up missing 4 days before his father(my brother) found him dead & in a stage 4 of decomposition. Earlier that week, I was asked by both my brother & sister (sister-in-law to call & file a missing persons report on my nephew. Prior to them leaving my house (the two officers) I had to plea with them to got a check his home & gave them permission to knock down his door to look inside. When they arrived, all they did was knock a few times, with no answer & then left. They never call me, but I called the Santa Rosa Police Depart early the next morning to check the status of their search the night before & that’s basically all they did. So, I told my brother that, he & a friend left his construction job early to go check my nephews home themselves. They both busted the front down & what my brother’ found was HIS SON ‘dead followed by an advance stage of decomposition according to coroner. And the autopsy had shown he had been dead four days.Because the damn police didn’t do their job by checking the inside of my nephews home like they were asked by the family to do. This has pretty much ruined my brother & his wife’s lives. My brother still can’t look at hi sons photos or even hardly talk about his son without breaking into a painful groaning from his broken heart💔cry. If I had gone with the officers that night before, I could have physically been there as family to authorize a break-in. I really don’t get how they could have done this to my family, especially the father, my brother to have been the one to find his youngest child the way he did. The says that anyone in law enforcement has the right if a raid was in place orvany other situation might cause them to be suspicious that after they knocked on a residents door & identified themselves as a police officers even without someone answering the door, that police can legally force their way inside. Let me say this, if our family could, we would hire our best attorney( my father-in-law is the best for being well known for winning his cases) we would proceed with a lawsuit against the Santa Rosa Police Department for ‘gross’ behavior in not doing their job that ‘we as taxpayers pay them to do.... I could guarantee that it wouldn’t happen again, at least not in Santa Rosa, CA. But, as we all know, they’re all as crooked as most of the lawbreakers they arrest & haul in...by playing a buddy- system in covering up their mistakes., so they don’t get caught. We live in a ‘lawless’ world. Those officers along with they’re employers (SR Police Dept.) literally got away from dealing with a terrible tragedy that now will haunt my brother for the rest of his life! SHAME ON YOU SANTA ROSA POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR FAILING MY FAMILY AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHERS HERE IN SANTA ROSA, CA.
YOU HAVE LOST EVERY ONCE OF OUR RESPECT!
May this one day, come back to haunt you for what you making my brother go through. If it’s good for one, it’s certainly good for you!
My nephew was married & left a precious & beautiful 8 year old little girl that right now doesn’t understand any of it, but she will in time. So next time one of you out there gets a call from your local authorities asking for a donation to help improve awareness, just keep note of this ‘message’ & then remind them that they are already being supported by ‘your very own tax dollars’. They can’t even use what they’re already are getting from you responsibility. YES!! I’M ANGRY, & I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE! I’ve had to watch our 82 year old mother go through a serious illness that was brought on since she’s lost her 28 year old grandson. And without the proper help from our police department, it’s killing her just watching her only son’s & daughter in-laws lives being destroyed as each day goes by.
As time passes, our lives will heal to a point, but never will they become normal again. Thank you for letting me share on behalf of my family. “ “Your 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 WILL NEVER FORGET YOU________, & WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU OUR SWEET LOVING__________❣️

My dad and I grew up watching John Walsh. I had no clue he had lost a child. I'm so grateful for his wife and his mission. Today, we take their accomplishments for granted. I don't think very many people know, myself included, how much work it took to provide resources for families with missing children/ adults.

I was 11 years old in 1981...it was a much different time then. The mind set was different. I would get up in the morning (during the summer) eat breakfast, and go outside ALL DAY. My friends and I would make our way around the neighborhood, usually on bikes, and would LITERALLY come home when it got dark. My mother gave me perimeters, and (usually) I didn't go beyond them. And I grew up in the inner city...not the posh suburbs. I see alot of people on here bashing Reve for leaving Adam at the video kiosk. If you were born AFTER 1981, you have no idea what your talking about when you bash her. You were brought up differently, because it was AFTER Adam was kidnapped and murdered, people became more protected of their child's whereabouts. I don't understand how people can be so self righteous and smug about something they are totally ignorant to. Reve did nothing wrong. As a matter of fact, she was even MORE protecting than most because she could see the top of Adam's head from the isle she was in. It wasn't uncommon for kids to run to a completely different floor or store in the mall while the parent shopped! So stand down...learn something before you judge

I was born in 1982. I learned about the murder in 1996, I remember watching the then finale of the Original America's Most Wanted and seeing John's Grief and Anguish. It infuriated me the total INCOMPETENCE of Hollywood,FL and Miami County, how they knew DAMN well Ottis Toole had done it, but had Botched the case and CHEATED Walsh of Justice. Toole died shortly after this aired and made a Deathbed Confession to his Niece that he killed Adam.

Regarding Reve leaving Adam at the Kiosk. This was 1981. People were naive. Reve was shopping for a Lamp and Adam was only a few yards away in a separate aisle. She did what any normal mother would do at the time.

I agree. Especially as I was born in 1977, yes, the world was very, very different back then. Saw when it was finally aired on tv in 81. So unbelievably sad.

@@Tornado1994 Sorry do not agree..people make wrong choices....we make mistakes...I am imperfect..but My Mom taught us never take your eyes off your children ..Mom and Dad had 6 girls know where they are and what that are doing . safety ..talk to them about safety..stranger danger
Never leave them alone in a store

May God comfort the Walsh Family in their loss..I weep

Kristi Ramos I was born in 81 and even when I was little, it was that way for me. We lived in a neighborhood and everyone knew each other. I was told early on to scream if anyone ever tried to grab me. Say no to strangers. As I grew up and especially after Amber Hagerman was murdered, things changed quickly.
