Anti-crime activist and author John Walsh is the host of America's Most Wanted. The show features criminals who are wanted by law enforcement. In 1981, Walsh, who was then a partner in a hotel management company, experienced crime first hand when his six-year-old son Adam Walsh kidnapped and murdered.
Since then, Walsh has gone on to become an advocate for missing and exploited children and has worked to legislate tougher crime laws. In 2006, George W. Bush signed the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act which led to the creation of the national sex offender registry.AMW.com: About John Walsh
