Episode description

In July 1981, an event occurred that would become the catalyst for how society viewed child safety.  Terms like "A parent's worst nightmare" and "Stranger Danger" became vernacular burned into the mind of adults and children alike, as the country scrambled to make sense of the death of 6 year-old Adam Walsh.  While the case has been officially closed, there is still some doubt as to the official explanation, as well as the discovery that by incredible coincidence, two of the most famous serial killers in American history were at the mall Adam disappeared from at the same exact time.  Join us as we discuss a tragedy that changed America forever.
