Did Jeffrey Dahmer Kill Adam Walsh?
Did Wisconsin serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer kill Adam Walsh, son of "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh in 1981? New speculation linking Dahmer to the kidnapping and murder of Adam has surfaced in the media recently, but John Walsh says he has seen no new evidence linking Dahmer to his son's death.
The speculation linking Milwaukee's most famous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer to Adam Walsh's murder were printed in a Miami publication, the Daily Business Review, by writer Arthur Jay Harris, an author of true crime books. Harris has written an unpublished book on the Adam Walsh case.
The main points Harris makes linking Dahmer to the Walsh case, using files from the official investigation, include:
- Dahmer was in the Miami area at the time Adam disappeared, working at a sandwich restaurant.
- After Dahmer was arrested in Milwaukee, witnesses said they saw him in the Hollywood, Florida, mall around the time Adam was abducted.
- Dahmer had access to a blue van at work. Several witnesses reported seeing a blue van speeding away from the mall the day Adam disappeared.
Dahmer Denied Walsh Murder
After Dahmer was arrested in Milwaukee and charged with multiple murders of young men, he was questioned by FBI investigators about the Adam Walsh case. Dahmer, who was forthcoming and confessed to many other murders and mutilations, denied he had anything to do with the Walsh case and claimed he had never been to the Hollywood area.
Harris, who is trying to sell his book to a publisher, insists the link should be pursued by investigators. "I'm not way off on this," Harris told reporters. "This is something that needs to be investigated."
Meanwhile, John Walsh still believes Adam was killed by another serial killer, Ottis Toole, who confessed to the murder on his deathbed. Although DNA evidence that might have linked Poole to Adam was lost by police, clothing similar to Adam's was found in Poole's home.

i found these speculations very interesting, and they should be investigated.
And one correction, the surname of the serial killer is not Poole, but Toole.
I recently looked into the Adam Walsh case. There are some things I noticed, and there are things I understand. The person who killed Adam Walsh was a cannibal. His head was decapitated and his body was never found. When people prepare a deer, rabbit, or squirrel to be cleaned for eating the heads are always removed because it is useless unless you want to mount a deer head on your wall. I do not believe Adam’s body was buried. I believe his body was a victim of cannibalism in the Vero Beach area not far from where his head was located. Adam’s killer was never concerned with hiding the fact Adam was dead, that is why he threw the head in the canal instead of burying or better hiding his head. The killer didn’t care about authorities identifying the head, he wanted the body. Having said that, I do not believe it is possible for someone to eat Adam’s bones. His bones are probably less than 10 miles from where his head was found in the Vero beach area, and his bones are most likely buried right next to someone’s house. Adam’s head was removed close to the area where this killer planned on further mutilating the body. You see…. the head was removed at the permanent location where Adam’s body was to be further mutilated for cannibal consumption. There are cleaner ways to kill a person out in public if they are noisy or panicking. Cutting someone’s head off is too extreme and bloody to do on the move simply to keep a 6 year old child quiet as Toole stated he did. There are much easier and cleaner ways to kill a 6 year old who is not co-operating.Toole was lying about why he supposedly decapitated Adam. There is a connection that was overlooked somewhere. Somewhere between the Sears department store and the security guard female that made Adam leave Sears, and the fellow named Toole that was the prime ’suspect in the case. The killer could have known Adam and his parents and the killer could have monitored the Walsh’s from a distance looking for a window of opportunity, especially if the Walsh’s frequented the Sears where Adam was abducted. There is another aspect to Adam’s murder…his head was dumped in the Vero Beach area because that is where his killer may have lived, or Toole may have given Adam’s body to someone who lived in the Vero area. Again, the location of the killer’s home is going to depend on access to the canal and the direction of the canal’s current where Adam’s head was found. If you can get me complete case files, times, dates, ect….everything you can on the case I can figure out the missing link. I need to know exactly what canal Adam’s head was found in, and the direction of the current in that canal. I need the complete confession descriptions from Toole. There is someone else out there that contributed to Adam’s death, I know for a fact. Give this message to John Walsh. If I am given the case files and resources I can find the truth, unless Mr. Walsh is satisfied with having closure in the case with Toole as the murderer.
uh Jeffrey Dhamer was a cannible and i can see him killing Adam walsh. BUT dahmer kept the heads of his victims. i’m doing a research paper on him and i don’t think that he would have had the heart to kill adam walsh
LOL JAY
So could u figure out all of the unsolved cases if you just had the files? There are tons of people that work on these cases and do this for a living..if they couldnt do it how do you expect to be able to? Dont be dumb!
And no, dahmer doesnt fit the profile because he kept the skulls as trophies, and bleached them.
You don’t think Jeffrey Dahmer would’ve had the heart to kill Adam Walsh?
He didn’t discriminate between adults and children. There was no moral compass in him that would enable him to discriminate due to the age of his victim.
I know a lot of people don’t buy into this, but does anyone know if the Walshes ever retained the assistance of a psychic?
Just curious … ???
It was very convenient for John Walsh to go along with the closure of the his son’s kidnapping and murdering merely because some police officials in Florida were convinced that it would be better to pin that horrible crime on a dead man instead of pursuing the diabolical force behind so many children in America regardless of their colors.
Let us not forget the Scorpion’s warning to John Walsh that He was his worst nightmare. Why? Did Zodiac chnaged its pen name back in 1990 to Scorpion to cryptically claim responsibility for Adam’s demise?
Let us not forget that Adam mysteriously disappeared on July 27, 1981, which magically coincided with the 21st anniversary of the Korean War’s Armistice. Adam’s head was recovered near a body of water on August 10, 1981, which magically coincided with Robert DeGrimston’s 46th birthday.
The cryptic numeric clue of 46 and 21 can be simultaneous solved as: Liber 21, which can be equalized as Liber 7 7 7.
If not for Police, then let this be a head star for John Walsh if he really wants to find the truth about the death of his son.

Let us not forget the Scorpion’s warning for John Walsh that he was his worst nightmare. Why? Did Zodiac change his pen name back in 1990 to Scorpion to cryptically claim responsibility for Adam’s demise? Why did John Walsh remain mum for so many years before partially releasing the Scorpion files for the public?
Several months after the Zodiac’s “Forced Bussing” letter of March 1, 1981, Adam mysteriously disappeared on July 27, 1981. Adam was born on November 14, 1974. Using July 27, 1974, as a clocking event, then this date was magically clocked to coincide with the 21st anniversary of the Korean war’s armistice in 1953. It is important to remember that 1974 was a busy year for Zodiac.
Adam’s head was recovered near a body of water in Florida on August 10, 1981, which magically coincided with the 46th birthday of Robert DeGrimston, who was born on August 10, 1935, in Shanghai, China, which was a signatory party to the 1953 armistice.
The disappearance date of July 27, 1981, also magically coincided with the 28th anniversary, or ash anniversary, of the Korean war’s armistice in 1953.
On May 27, 2009, North Korea unilaterally decided to withdraw from the 1953 armistice, which South Korea refused to be a signatory party to it despite of promising to observe the terms of ceasefire. As per Zodiac’s warning of doom, “Ash America,” is North Korea getting ready to ash America with a lot of help from the cuckoo-clock Nazi Islamic zombies of doom in Iran? Let the rigged re-election of the Nazi puppet president of Iran be a warning to the whole world that the mankind as we know it now is in danger of extinction if Zodiac Network is not fully exposed and ultimately curtailed.
The cryptic numeric clues of 46 and 21 can be simultaneously cracked as: Liber 21, which can be equalized as: Liber (7 + 7 + 7), or Liber 777, which was Aleister Crowley’s blueprint for murder & mayhem (M & M).
The cryptic alphabetic clue of “water” can be numeralized as: 67, which can be equalized as: (46 + 7 + 7 + 7), which can be written as: 46 777, which can be cracked as: Liber 777.
If not for the police, then let us hope that this info can be used as a head start by John Walsh if he really wants to find out the truth about the death of his son. He owes him that more than any other person in America.
In my opinion, Zodiac Network must be listed on the top of John Walsh’s America’s Most Wanted list for the whole world to see. Anything less will be unacceptable.
