In a stunning revelation, yesterday Florida police identified a deceased drifter as the man responsible for the abduction and murder or Adam Walsh, son of famous crime-fighting reality show host John Walsh. The crime has been unsolved for the 27 years since Walsh's body was found.

"If Ottis Toole was alive today, he would be arrested for the abduction and murder of Adam Walsh on July 27, 1981," Hollywood Police Chief Chad Wagner said at an afternoon news conference. "Lucky for him, he's dead."

"Afterward, Toole would be transferred into LAPD custody to face charges for the murder of 'The Black Dahlia,' Elizabeth Short, and then on to Colorado to face a jury for the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey. Further, we have reason to believe that, during what was apparently a junket to Africa, Toole was involved in a dispute with beloved primatologist Dian Fossey, who was of course later murdered. If he were alive today, Toole would be questioned about this case, as well," continued Wagner.

"We also have reason to believe that Toole may have been in possession of the bodies of both Chandra Levy and Natalee Holloway. Were he living and to have a place of residence, it would be thoroughly searched. Despite that he is dead, and will never face trial -- the cornerstone of our system of justice -- you can rest assured that Toole would undoubtedly be found guilty of these crimes, were he alive," a visibly emotional Wagner continued.

"Of course, there is also the matter of time that Toole is said to have spent in and around Dallas in the autumn of 1963, but we're not able to make any further comments about that investigation at this time."
