Today is the 30th anniversary of the kidnapping of Adam Walsh. While shopping in a mall with his mother, Adam Walsh went missing. He would be found dead two weeks later. It was this incident that led to the career of his father, John Walsh, as a victims' advocate for justice. The Code Adam that many stores participate in is named after Adam Walsh.
