Adam Walsh went missing on July 27, 1981. Less than two weeks later, it was discovered that the 6-year-old boy had been gruesomely murdered. It took 27 years for Adam's case to finally be closed.
When his mother went to the aisle to retrieve her son, he was gone. Investigators discovered that Adam left the store with a group of older boys who were asked to leave for causing trouble, according to the source. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.
Adam's parents launched a massive hunt to find him, and they even put up a $100,000 reward to draw attention to the case.
