The case drew national attention and was even turned into a made-for-TV movie, which was watched by 38 million people. Ottis Toole, a convicted serial killer, confessed to the murder, but later took back his confession. He died in 1996, leaving the case unsolved. Adam Walsh’s father, John Walsh, later became an advocate for victims of violent crimes and went on to host America’s Most Wanted, one of America’s most groundbreaking TV shows.

Daniel Morcombe

On December 7, 2003, 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe was on his way to buy some Christmas presents for his family. He stopped at a Sunshine Coast bus stop. He was hoping to catch the 1:35 pm bus to the Sunshine Plaza Shopping Centre to get a haircut, apart from buying those presents for his family. But he never returned. It was the last known place Daniel had been before he went missing for good. His case was to become one of the most notorious missing person cases in Queensland.
