Guest Speaker: John Walsh
John E. Walsh, Jr. is an American television presenter, criminologist, victims' rights activist, and the host/creator of America's Most Wanted. He is known for his anti-crime activism, with which he became involved following the murder of his son, Adam, in 1981.
Walsh was born in Auburn, New York. He graduated from Auburn's Our Lady of Mount Carmel High School and he then attended the University at Buffalo, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history.
The Walsh family founded the Adam Walsh Child Resource Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to legislative reform. The centers merged with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), where John Walsh serves on the board of directors.
The Walsh family organized a political campaign to help missing and exploited children; John's and Revé's efforts eventually led to the creation of the Missing Children Act of 1982 and the Missing Children's Assistance Act of 1984.
Walsh continues to testify before Congress and state legislatures on crime, missing children, and victims' rights issues.
