HOLLYWOOD, Florida (CNN) -- Police in Hollywood, Florida, said Tuesday that they are closing the investigation into the 1981 abduction and slaying of 6-year-old Adam Walsh.
Adam Walsh 6, disappeared from a mall in August, 1981. His head was found two weeks later, 120 miles away.
After his son's abduction and murder, John Walsh found a new career as host of "America's Most Wanted."
The boy's abduction and slaying 27 years ago put missing children on the national agenda. Police will name deceased drifter Ottis Toole, a convicted pedophile who died in prison in 1996, as the boy's suspected killer, a law enforcement source told CNN.
