Abduction
On July 27, 1981, Adam Walsh went to a Sears store in a mall in Hollywood, Florida, with his mother, Reve Walsh. When Reve went to the lighting section, she allowed him to play video games in the toy department a few aisles away. By the time she got back, he had disappeared

A few weeks later, Adam's severed head was found by a fisherman in a canal near Vero Beach.

A man named Ottis Toole claimed that he abducted Adam in a Sears mall parking lot after luring him with candy and toys. He said that after Adam started crying, he punched him in the face before raping him and decapitating him with a machete. Toole then stated that he drove around with Adam’s severed head for several days and eventually tossed it into a nearby canal
