The crime TV host recently shared bizarre police procedure related to his son Adam’s 1981 abduction and murder<\/h2>\n

This story first appeared in the Dec. 19 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n

Crime TV host\u00a0John Walsh<\/strong>\u00a0(The Hunt<\/em>,\u00a0America’s Most Wanted<\/em><\/a>) long has spoken of his son Adam<\/strong>‘s 1981 abduction and murder. But during a Soho House New York panel hosted by\u00a0Starz<\/a>\u00a0on Nov. 19 \u2014 timed to the airing of\u00a0The Missing<\/em>, about a kidnapping \u2014 he shared a wrenching detail for the first time.<\/p>\n

“People don’t know this, but [police] kept Adam’s severed head in the morgue for 27 years, saying you can’t bury your child because it’s an open capital murder,” said Walsh. “We could never get Adam’s remains while the case was botched.”<\/p>\n

Law enforcement closed the case in 2008 after declaring deceased drifter\u00a0Ottis\u00a0Toole<\/strong>\u00a0was the killer.<\/p>\n
