John Walsh


As the Emmy-winning host and executive producer of "America's Most Wanted," Walsh helped law enforcement capture more than 1,100 dangerous fugitives and bring home more than 50 missing children since the groundbreaking reality television show made its debut in 1988.
 
Walsh never sought the role of a crime fighter and victims' advocate, but this has been his life's mission since 1981, when his son Adam was abducted from a mall near his home and found murdered two weeks later.
