John Walsh: Casey Anthony 'Guilty'

1217walsh.jpg

Yesterday, John Walsh finally found closure when Ottis Toole was named the killer of his son Adam Walsh. "This is going to be the best Christmas in 27 years... and Adam will be right there with us. He's always been our angel and this will be a great Christmas." The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children advocate is going on the record with "Extra" about other missing people.

The "America's Most Wanted" host says he believes 2-year-old Caylee Anthony's mother Casey is guilty of the child's murder. "That mother in Florida... I've said it from the beginning. My opinion, she murdered her child and that people would be lucky if they ever found her body. Now I think they have. Now they can prosecute her."

Walsh also helped with the search for Natalee Holloway. "I believe Natalee Holloway is dead and I hope they recover her remains so that they can put her to rest... and I hope that they get justice. I think those three young men in Aruba got away with the murder."

God Bless you and your family. I couldn’t imagine what you both have been through all these years. I have the utmost respect for you also with the tv show, “America’s Most Wanted”. You have helped serve justice for families across America and abroad. Personally, I think that all convicted child molester’s and murders should be placed on a deserted island to starve to death for what they have done. I know that only God will judge them, but we could at least save our tax dollars by not having to provide meals, bedding, clothing, tv’s, etc. Our children are innocent and a gift. May you have a wonderful season and peace that you so richly deserve.

John, my post is for you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Closure is much over used. You will always grieve for Adam. When Adam died, you and your family turned an intimate tragedy to assist other families.

John, how would we keep these Predators contained? There is no magic bullet to cure these scum bags who prey on the innocent.

I do not think there if ever “closure”, but know you can move on in peace. There always seems to be the phases of healing the initial shock this little person is gone, then there is the feeling of lost, emptiness, then comes the anger ( I think this is what the Walsh’s have had to endure all these years, the anger of not knowing for sure who did this to their precious life they brought into this world), now comes the peace and healing and knowing that justice yet delayed and now can never be given because the man is dead can be put to rest by at least knowing he died behind bars where obviously he should have been the day he took that little boy. As for Casey Anthony (coughs)! That woman will what is coming to her! What kind of mother lets her child go missing a month before letting anyone know that is just insane. That alone spells guilty all over it. I think she should be woman enough to stand up to her mistake be what she done accident or intentional. But then again she is innocent until proven guilty, however it is hard to do that in the public eye.

God Bless You John and Reve and Family may the angels and God keep blessing you on your path for justice for the victims of violent crimes and missing and exploited Children.

John Walsh, Adam means so much to me. The Code Adam in place at my place of work keeps me vigilant at all times. The “Code Adam” has also helped us many times to find a lost child in our store! I am terribly sorry for your loss of Adam but am thankful you took so many steps to help other even in the prevention of abductions in the manner of “Code Adam”
Merry Christ-mas!

Mr. Walsh, GOD Bless you for standing up for those who cannot protect themselves. Thank you for speaking out and against those who commit the unspeakable crimes against innocent children. It’s everyone’s job to protect our children….thank you for leading the way.

Dear John, I remember so vividly the day we heard on the news your son went missing, and then the day you learned he was dead. In fact, I even wrote you a letter, that’s how personal I took it. God bless you for the work you have been doing since and I know much relief has come to you since the killer has been named. May you have some measure of peace now.

John and Reve, may god bless you and your family. The first time I saw the Adam Walsh story I was a very young girl. So young I don’t even remember how old I was. I remember having a broken heart even then. Through all my years, I have thought about the little boy Adam Walsh. A boy i never personally knew. Still my heart always ached for the tragedy that should have never been. And now when I look at my own son, the thought of anyone ever hurting him is too much to consider. And as i look into my daughter’s eyes, i see that her wrold is perfect because i love her unconditionally. I will pray for the Walshes tonight as there is still much healing to be done. To all of the parents out there, we are all our children have. Plenty of sickos out there just waiting for us to turn our backs. Keep your children close. God Bless.

I cried with John Walsh today and thanked God for their family finding peace. It is the not knowing that is unmerciful. I have searched in places a mother should not have to search for her child. And the search continues even after thirteen. Heather Danyelle Teague was abducted August 26, 1995. www.WhereIsHeatherTeague.com
As I listen to Caylee singing, ‘Please don’t take Nana’s sunshine away’, my heart breaks. I believe in miracles. I believe that it was a miracle that Caylee was found. I believe John Walsh has helped us all to believe in miracles. He has shared his pain and his anger and he and Reve know that they were chosen to be Adam’s parents and also for this search. Their heartbreak has given many of us hope. Matthew 10:26 says that there will be nothing hidden that won’t be revealed. Adam has justice now! CAylee is home! And someday,Heather will come home! I pray for every family that lies down tonight not knowing where one of theirs is. To not know if that person is cold or hungry or scared or in pain is absolutely unmerciful. May God have mercy on the ones that lie down tonight knowing where these people are.

Im glad they found who did this to adam. To bad he died in prison before the family had a chance to confront him bout what he did.

some of the readers object to the word ‘closure’. perhaps instead it is like
a door closed and they no longer have
to wonder about where there child is
or who the perpetrator is. sadly, the
door to pain never goes away, but per-
haps it will not be quite intense as
time goes on.
there is a sad similarity in the walsh
case and the anthony case. i won’t elaborate but the ironic difference is that the one 27 years ago was perpetrated by a stranger and in this new case, the evidence is mounting that the perpetrator was no stranger, but the child’s own mother. that magnifies
the wrong done to the child.

My oldest son was a toddler when I took him and his baby brother to the mall to be photographed and he wandered off when I was paying for them. This was right after what happened to Adam Walsh and I became hysterical before he could be found. (at the other end of the mall!) What happened to the Walsh’s is every loving parent’s worst nightmare and I will never forget it. Casey Anthony has already documented that there was a horrible odor in the car while she was driving it, which I’m sure was meant as an alibi, but little did she know that there is a way to identify the odor from a body when it decomposes. So we know for a fact that she drove the car with Caylee’s body in it. It is a FACT that she stole from her friend and still she pleads innocent to the charge!! She has not told the truth about ANYTHING. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! The public identifies with Caylee because she needs SOMEONE in her corner!! I cannot wait for all of the forensics in this case to come back. The facts will not lie……..

As far as Natalee…she’s either dead or in a white slavery ring, probably somewhere in South America.

And Casey Anthony—ugh, don’t get me started.

I think when people use the word “Closure” they use it because they have found out how a loved one died or in the case of murder, if they find out who the murder was. Not for one minute do I think that they forget their loved one or how they died, that sadly stays with them for life.I also agree with John walsh I think Casey Anthony murdered her daughter. ” she never was mother of the year”

The Walsh Family has done so much to further the cause, I know you have made a difference.

God bless you and your family during this holiday and for the rest of the year.

Your work is important, it is a beautiful thing you do with the heartache you have been given.
