20 Years Later, FBI Profiler Wonders What Jeffrey Dahmer Didn’t Say


MILWAUKEE — It’s been 20 years since the steamy July morning when a screaming man hailed police and led them to the morgue that was Jeffrey Dahmer’s west side Milwaukee apartment.

Dahmer eventually detailed for police a ghastly record of torture and death, but some questions remain on whether anyone will ever know the true extent of Dahmer’s horrors.

Dahmer gave a 159-page confession, but a FBI profiler on the case believes the serial killer kept secrets.

“There was really no trail that led to him until a young man escaped. It could still be going on,” retired FBI agent Neil Purtell said.

Purtell is the retired Wisconsin FBI profiler assigned to the Dahmer case. He doubts anyone will ever know the real extent of Dahmer’s crimes.

“I think very few people ever disclose everything. They always hold something back. That’s their power. That’s their control,” Purtell said.

This is a true point in many cases of serial killers.

Dahmer committed his first known murder at age 18. The second was in 1987.

“They don’t stop. He started after high school. They don’t stop,” Purtell said.

Also very true. They do sometimes have periods of time when they do not kill. As I have said before, life happens. Just like with all of us something comes along and you slow down ‘hobbies’. Serial killers also have to slow down or stop at periods due to other things in their lives.

That sounds so strange but it is true.

Purtell said it is unlikely Dahmer didn’t kill during the nine years between those murders. Dahmer spent the first two years after the first murder in the Army stationed in Germany.

“His roommate while he was in the military has received a disability, in great part because of Dahmer’s activity toward him,” Purtell said.

After Dahmer’s arrest, that Army roommate alleged 18 months of rape and torture at Dahmer’s hands, and German detectives traveled to Wisconsin to question Dahmer about five still-unsolved murders near his Army base.

“We don’t know what he was involved in in Europe, in Germany when he was in the military there,” Purtell said.

I do not have enough information on the European  claims to really form opinion. It is possible that he did not kill since he was out of his comfort zone and had so much else going on.

The Army booted Dahmer for drinking and insubordination and shipped him from Germany to south Florida, where a different homicidal drama soon played out.

A transient, Dahmer was working part-time at a sub shop and sleeping on the beach when the abduction and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh captured national headlines.

The Walsh case soon turned cold until Dahmer’s arrest 19 years later, and his front-page photos sparked a flurry of calls to police claiming Dahmer was Adam’s abductor.

“Dahmer was there. Four people who were at that mall identified him after he was arrested by Milwaukee police. They saw his photograph and said that’s the guy that we encountered,” Purtell said.

Dahmer denied killing Adam, so police ruled him out and closed the Walsh case three years ago without new evidence, blaming it on another dead serial killer. The former FBI profiler believes Dahmer is the more likely suspect.

“It’s a leap of imagination to think of a person like this now let loose, drinking a lot and unemployed and stressed out in Florida wouldn’t have engaged in something. It just would be a leap,” Purtell said.

The fact that Jefferey was in a place he was unfamiliar with and that he was drinking as heavily as he was right after being released may actually have kept him from killing.

 “I think Dahmer would have graciously told the coppers that if he’d done anything to that boy,” Dahmer’s attorney Gerald Boyle said.

Dahmer’s lawyer believes his client revealed all his secrets after his arrest, noting Dahmer’s confession ran more than 150 pages.

“He wanted to unload things they didn’t even know happened, probably because that’s how mentally ill he was. He just wanted to tell them everything,” Boyle said.

But Boyle conceded that Dahmer fooled him early on. Boyle defended Dahmer against charges he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old three years before his murder arrests.

“I would have bet the farm that he wasn’t ever capable of hurting anybody,” Boyle said.

Boyle would later learn that at the time of that sexual assault case, Dahmer had already committed four murders.

I am not so sure that Jeffrey would have said that he did it. I do not think that he killed Adam Walsh but not just because he said he didn’t. Serial Killers are liars and they really only confess to what they want to, or if it will save their our asses.

Dahmer was killed in prison in 1994. The profiler said he visited Dahmer routinely before his death and continued to question him about Adam Walsh.

He said Dahmer initially denied killing Walsh but later commented that whoever killed Adam Walsh would not survive in prison, and Florida has the death penalty.

That statement does seem to raise an exclamation mark until you know that the prosecutors from Florida had already spoken with Dahmer and said there would not be a chance for the death penalty if he confessed.

Article and video here.

I wrote about the Dahmer / Toole controversy before, Adam Walsh and the Monsters.

I still stand by the points in that post and my main arguments against Dahmer being Adam’s killer.

Jeffery wanted a companion. Yes, he was attracted to younger looking guys but Adam was a little guy and only 6 years old. He was not what Jeffery was looking for. 
Jeffery was not the abduction type. He lured and drugged and seduced his victims. It was part of the game to him, his fantasy. 
The eye witnesses came forward AFTER seeing Jeffery on the news for his other killings. They were associating him with the crime. One of the witnesses gave a description, then said it could have been the security guard until they saw Jeffery on the news, then they said it was him.
In 1992, Florida police interviewed Dahmer in a prison in Wisconsin. At the request of John Walsh who had heard that some thought that Dahmer could be his son’s killer the Broward County district attorney took the death penalty off the table. They figured that that would increase the odds that Dahmer would confess if he did kill Adam.

I am not saying that Dahmer did not take names to the grave with him I just do not think Adam was one of them.

    Whoever abducted and beheaded Adam Walsh I hope they are dead and dancing with the devil. What a horrible thought that Jeffrey Dahmer was behind that heinous crime. That would give absolutely no peace to John Walsh.

    • Loon, The Walsh family do believe that Toole is the one that killed Adam. They say that they have found peace.
      John Walsh (and the police) looked very closely at Dahmer and dismissed him as a viable suspect.

      IMO Dahmer remains a suspect in some eyes because they see him as such a monster they find it easier to point the finger at him.

    I think that who ever killed that poor little Adam is still at large and none of the above mentioned names Dhamar, Toole, or Lucas was any of them. Toole was eventually used to cover up for the fact that it had to be somebody than let it be him because he has a tract record. But there was never any forensic proof or hard core evidence to really state that Toole was really the one. Only hypothesies and assumptions based on theories made by the police and detectives. But none of the sources really one hundred percent gave any surity that toole was the real one. Only anylized facts based on assumptions. The real true killers I believe were more than one. Three and they were not famous serial killers just some young guys getting their jolly’s off because they new that little Adam was very vulnerable and could not run away. The last person Adam was with was a young 10 year old boy that was in the Sears department store with him the day he vanished. He was not abducted but went willingly because he wanted to fit in with the other boys that was there with him playing vedio game. There was two african american boys and one white boy about 10 and there was Adam. They were all playing the vedio game like all regular kids Adam just wanted to fit in. So he went along with the other 3 boys. They teamed up two black boys against Adam and the other white boy who was 10 then. All the news paper articles have this writen. And a fight broke out between them over the controls of the game. So the Sears Department store sent out a security gaurd only 17 years old and a minor her self by the name of Katherny Shaffer Barack and she asked all of them that they can’t make all that noise that they have to leave now. She asked all four of them if their parents were at the Holloywood Mall where the Sears Dept. Store was. They all said no. So Adam went along with them and said no without thinking that his mother was in the store. He like any regular kid just wanted to fit in so he went along with what they were doing. No big logic. It is typical of a kid to want to fit in with other older boys because Adam being only six he did not want the older boys to make fun of him. So he did not tell the security guard there that his mother was there at the store. So the security guard Kathyrn Shafer Barack told the two black boys to go one way and she probably thought that the 10 year old boy that Adam was with that day was his older brother and so she told them to leave through another exit. So Adam must have just went willingly along with the other boy that was with him that day because he wanted to be like a big kid so he went off together with his friend. Adam proabably thinking that he would play with this othe boy for a while than go back to the store to meet his mommy. But this boy probably had other older boys or young men with him at that time. One of the older young men was probably the 10 year old boys brother or a family member. And he had other two younger men about 20 and 21 with him. So now there in Adam and his new found friend from the Sears Department store about 10 years old at that time. And the 10 year olds older brother or family member and two other freinds of the 10 year old boys family member. And they take Adam along telling Adam that they will bring him back shortly and his mother won’t even notice. Typical of young people to do that. So all of this man hunt for a serial kill was at a lost end while the real killers are still there in Florida. They by now seeing all prictures of Adam everywhere don’t know what to do. Thinking that they will get blame for it they take Adam to the canal at night when Adam and his 10 year old freind are sleeping they take Adam making him think they are taking him home but they don’t they take him to the canal and do what they have to and leave. And since everyone is too busy blaming the killer to be Dhamar, Lucas, or Toole the real killers are taking it easy somewhere in Florida because they know that no one will look for them and Adams case being now closed for good they know that they got away and no one will be looking for them. This is really sad because no is really going to ever believe this simple truth and every one wants to beleive that Adam was killed by some serial killer well so be it while the true killer are still lurking out there somewhere in Florida and thinking that no one will ever know the real truth except them and Adam.

    • Since reading your comment I have looked and looked for any link into one of the other kids there being a suspect. I actually found it to be an interesting idea.
      It seems as though the teens were checked out (in all official reports) and they were not considered suspects.

      I can only find 1 web page (nothing in any of the books that I have) that mentions this possibility.

      http://www.unposted.com/adam_walsh.shtml

      The site does not produce any evidence or give any real reason to suspect the teens.

      Actually it was also suggested on a reply on About.com as well, not part of the article only a reply from a reader. It was not suggested as anything other than a speculation to show how much we do not know about what happened to Adam.
      Scroll down to the comments FCross

      http://crime.about.com/b/2008/12/16/adam-walshs-killer-named-after-27-years.htm

      If you have more info on it I would love know.

      As for now I see no reason to suspect the teens, but I guess I could be wrong.

      Thank you for reading and for taking the time to post!

    The above truth of my theory of Adam’s case has some spelling errors. Please excuse me my english I am not that great I am not from this country. I do love children and never wish to see any of them end up like Adam. But the sad truth is that it does happen but we need to focus on the truth of things and not the fantasy. The truth here is that a child was killed and many hearts are broken for ever. But Adams case does still needs justice and a more profound truth about his real actual killers and not what was based on hypothesis and assumption and a fantasy of who his killer could have been. The irony is that no one looked at the truth of the matter. The truth was always close to home but no one wanted to see that. Everyone made his life into some kind of a fantasy more than a reality. That poor boy was exploited by media and public propaganda and a lot of controversey over is death. But the truth was always just around the corner and no wanted to see it. That poor little boy never had any peace even in his death. His life was always and always will be just that filled with public propaganda and he will always remain as the boy that had a violent end! Is there no peace to this! This little boy needs peace and justice and a truth to what really happened and not a bunch of exploited media propaganda that is not giving his soul any peace!

    Hello, I apologize for my mistake I did not mean the teens I meant some one related to the 10 year old boy that was with him that day. That is the key to finding the real person. I was not refering to the teens per say. Only refering to the 10 year old boy whom was not quiet a teen but some one Adam just paired up with to play the vedio game that day with the other two black boys that was there with him. None of the teen so called that was there with Adam that day was involved with his murder only the one boy that was his game partner that day whom he followed out as by the command of the young security guard Kathryn Shaffer Barack that day. So the boy of 10 years old that was with Adam was the one that walked out with him that day but the boy was not involved but someone he knew was and that may have been his older brother or a relative and some other two young men about 20 or 21 that Adam had met along with this other 10 year old blond headed boy that was with Adam at the Sears Department store that day. But I was not refering to the younger teen boys that was with him only the boy that Adam had followed out it was that boys relative and two other friends whom were much older than the younger boy at the Sears Department store that were with Adam. Sorry I had confused you. I am not any one particularly that was involved with Adam or the case at all. Nor do I know whom he is nor anything about his family. I am however, whom you guys might not accept a soul reader not a psychic or a tarot card reader or a common fortune teller. They come to me and I only answer to them. So that is why I never announce myself as they govern me. I am there advocate and I also study Criminal Justice. I have the sight to see beyond actual physical death and I have been like that as a child. I had a daughter of three years whom passed away and I can still see her and talk to her. And for a long time a little boy has been around me. But I did not know who he was. So I asked him one day what his name was and he said Adam Walsh. So I asked my husband who is Adam Walsh. He said to me he was a famous case many years back and the boy was violently murdered. So then I look up his story online and finally after all these years I know who this little boy is. So I guess my daughter picked him up somewhere on the otherside and they communicated and so that is how I began to see him also. This may sound absurd to you all and may also to his family. I do not know much about his family except that my husband told me that John Walsh was the boys father and he hosts that tv show called Americas Most Wanted. I have not really seen John Walsh or his show but heard many good things about him. So that is why when I spoke to Adam he told me about his father but I don’t really talk to any one except my immediate family and offcourse them when they wish for me to talk to them. So in another words they heir me for free offcourse and then I see what they want and they let me know what to say or not than I just report that to you all and that is all. I am a professional gifted soul seerer not very many of us around. So my gift is for them only and to no one else. Only to the victims for they are the sufferes and so therefore I only cater to their souls so they can then be set free to go into the light. I am a light worker. I don’t involve myself in worldly affairs only that what pertains to the light and to the soul. May peace be with you all and also to this little boys family and best wishes to his father and mother and to his brothers and sister that loved him so much.

  1. Thank you for reading and replying.
    I do have to disagree with your theory though, especially now that thanks to you I have read more on the other kids at the Sears store.have been interviewed and there is nothing to connect any of them to the murder.
    The police did focus on locals and the Walsh family.
    Thank you again for reading.

    But still it was not Toole as he already died 10 years before he was declared the official killer but no one is even sure 100 percent that he was really the one either only a lot of assumption and hypothesis saying sort of by force more than with one hundred percent accuracy that he was the real one. So in realy the theory of Toole being the one is also not realy one hundred percent as he was never put in trial for Adams case either. I read everything as well. But nothing tells me for sure that it was TOOLE or not!

    But you know who am I. I am not a professional I just see the truth from a childs perspect and don’t use any fake or false assumptions and hypothesis either. I make sure that what I say is for real and the truth and nothing but just that. And like I said the only one that really know who did anything to Adam is only ADAM and the persong that did the crime! Until that is one hundred percent accurate no one will ever really know the truth. So be it. Peace! I will never speak a agian in regards to this crime or any crime ever! My apologies!

    Also I would like to add one more to that everyone believed that it was Toole only because he had a tract record but nothing real or concrete to say the least in all of Adams stories say anything that it was definetely Toole only a professional detectives hypothesis and assumptions bassed on would be and here say facts that no one for sure knows if Toole was the one or not. There is no real evidence or true concrete factual truth that Toole was the real one. Only a make believe police and media propoganda that made Toole the killer but no one really knows the truth except little Adam. May that rest with him than. Because the incompetence way that police and law enforcement had dealt with his case the real truth will always stay with Adam! May he rest in peace!

    Yhea I spoke my mind here for the first time in all the 30 years of hear and reading about Adam Walshes case. And you want the truth I think that the police is incompetent and negligent to towards the victims. They don’t give the victims any rights. They think that because the victims are deceased that it is the polices’s and everybody elses job to take over. It took 30 years and still you can’t claim the real murder! Because you all don’t want to! You all are lazy and just want to put it on the serial killers. But if you are so big on serial killers is it not your job anyway to have stoped these people from killing on there first time murder instead of letting all of those innocent people get killed by those three men and you all wanted to do was make them famous! They were killers! They should have all been in jail the first time around! For example Dharmar you keep talking about. All of those people he killed and kept parts of them in his house. You mean to tell me that the law enforcement could not tell if this guy was a killer and he had all of those body parts in his apartment! It seems to me that you are allowing these guy to go on killing as many as possible before you really think it is them! And you don’t believe me when I am saying that the killers could have been in Adams own back yard at home. It is as though that you want to believe what you want and not the truth! Why then could you all the police and law enforcement not have caught Dhamar, Lucas, and Toole when they killed the first time around. Why had the law enforcement waited so long to decide that Toole and Dhamar and Lucas now needs to go to jail after they had killed so many. Why could not the incomepetent police department catch these guys the first time they were found out to have killed or even the second time. It is the police propoganda that allows these killers to go on killing innocent victims for as long as they do. Say for instance a young lady by the name of Nancy Lopez a Miami Heat Basket Ball Team Cheerleader died in a fatel carsh last year. Her killer was a DUI driver and caused the accident while heavily intoxicated. Manslaughter was his crime but the judge let him go out on bond and only kept him in jail for 10 months. But this young lady just like Adam and so many others do not get a second chance. But these killers seem to get more respect than the people they have killed. And you are telling me that I don’t know what I am talking about when I told you what I did in regards to Adams killer not being Toole. No I believe in what I believe and it is you all that are wrong. You just want to do what you want and force other to believe in that. But not me. I thank god that I did not experience any murders in my family and I thank god that I am not those many many victims murdered that the police ignore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Also as for the record I read all Adams stories and found nothing as to why the police did not charge the Sear’s department store where he was found missing in the first place. It was due to their negligence that it happened anyway. A little boy playing a vedio game in the store and all employees and the store ceo’s do nothing about it or sees nothing and can’s say for sure what happened. Allows a little boy to be lost or even abducted if that is the case. I would have sued the Sears department store for their negligence to appropriately handle a child missing for their store. And I have also seen the movie of Adam years back. I feel the families pain and the loss. For I too lost a child myself. So I know where they are comming from! Why did no one in the store pay attention to the little boy in the first place! I would have sued the Sears department store in a heart beat if Adam was my child. The lack of the law enforcement team and the Sear’s department store to handle Adam’s case is really horifing! You mean to tell me that the whole Sear department store could not realize that a small boy was being taken or what ever the case maybe and say’s that they don’t know what happen. Why did the employees there see anything and do something about it! They just allowed some one to take Adam from the store and all everyone did was to let it happen!!! That right there is the problem! And the police department for 30 years could not detect that! It is as if the police department and Sear’s department store blamed Toole because they did not want to blame anyone around Adams neigborhood because they wanted to protect the neigborhood and the Sear’s department store from damaging their reputation. So they blame the crime on a drifter Toole that had a criminal tract and close the case! Just to protect everyone’s reputations! That is why you did not want to believe me. You said that it is not the Teens and I said nothing of that. I just said that who ever it was, was not far from Adam’s home town. They knew Adam and was jealous of him. The sad thing is that you all could not even one hundred percent give any proof as to the validity of your assumptions of Toole being Adam’s actual killer! So you all don’t know for sure if it was Toole or Dhamar or who the killer was yourself. The irressponsible was that the whole case was handle was very obious and you are telling me that I don’t know what I am talking about. I don’t think so. I have been a clairvoint for a long time and I see situations a lot clearer than most people! And I believe in them the murdered victims because it is their life that was destroyed for no reason at all! And also they never get any rights or any respect for what happened to them! So I speak for them! Because they too have rights just like every one else! At least I don’t show myself like you all do and try to manipulate people to believe what I think like you all do. I may not be an expert but I know I can see them that has passed on and I believe the soul does continue and just does not end with physical death. So I believe they have rights too! So I will listen to Adam but not to you! You can take your assumptions and your theories and force everyone to see it that way! But the truth lies with them the victms that can’t speak any more that can’t say anything any more because their life was wrongfully taken and no one anymore wants to hear their side of the truth as it really happened! But I do and I always will! For my faith is with them!

    And one last other thing that I am going to strongly mention that his father such a powerful man and catches bigh time criminal but still could not see the irony of the fact that Toole was also not his sons killer. But forcefully points the finger at Toole any way because everyone would praise the police department for catching a big time serial killer and naming him the killer of Adam. Yet there was not enough forensic truth or accuracy to the validity of the claim as Toole being the actual killer. In all the stories I had read in regards to Adam’s case there seemed to be a lot of just if’s and’s or maybe’s and always nothing in any of the stories to realy validate that Toole, Dhamar or even Lucas had anything to do with it. The only reason that everyone wants to leave it with Toole is because he was there and a very good suspect to promote the publicity as Toole Dhamar and Lucas were all very famous well known serial killers with a long history of criminal record. No one wants the killer to be an ordinary person especially some one maybe in Adams neighborhood because that would ruien the credibility of the neighborhood and no one wanted to blame the Sears department store for the negligence to loose a six year old because that would ruien the stores credibility and ultimately Sear’s would loose sales and customers. So why not save everyone the trouble of looking for the real killer’s and blame it on a famous serial killer. It’s good publicity for everyone anyway. And not to mention about John Walsh him self having women problem. Yet he does not consider himself a sexual offender. Because he thinks he is some kind of a gods gift women kind. The truth is Adam’s case was fabricated, by so much medial and police bureaucracy and police red tape to blotch everything so that no evidence would ever be known of the real truth. Because everyone is looking for fame and fantasy while the real killer is out there is still lurking free. This really disgust’s me.! Adam needs just! And especially the way that no one for 30 years had ever bother to look for his body. Only a portion was found but no effort was really made to find the rest of him. I tried to tell that to the Miami, Fl FBI and they told me that they had found his body but yet all of the stories say that only his head was found and not the rest of him. I question why did not any one try to find the rest of his body which is still in that canal. Everyone for all these years are trying to put the blame on the wrong killer just to get the fame but left poor Adam in a turmoil. His soul shattered in different directions without no peace and left behind to rot by himself. People have no respect for the decesead! No I have to disagree with you too profiler. I do believe in myself as a medium a clairvoyant. I have had many people disblieve me when I report to the police or to the FBI in regards to a case that I might have seen in my visions. And when I say it anonymously they come out to be true! My accuracy and the validity of my visions is always strong and to the point! What everyone says about me I don’t care. But I am someone that believe’s that life does not end with physical death. I do not reveal true identy because most people would turn away anyway. But when I believe in what I see in my visions I go after it. I don’t just see it I can feel it as it happened! So I know what I said mr. profiler and I believe in my visions with 100 percent truth. I feel that Adam’s case does need to be reopened and done right! You owe it to Adam and to the society! For you are letting who ever the real killer’s was getting away and allowing them the freedom to hurt other’s! And if you don’t redo Adams case in the right way than I will have no choice but to guide this case to higher court’s to have them reopen it. Yes it is hard work to find the real killer’s but I am still convinced without any doubt that Toole is not the realy killer! If everyone is letting it go at that than some other children may continue to get hurt because of your negligence to find the real killer. I am also definete that it was some one that Adam knew in his neighborhood there was definetly three of them. They were not the teen in the store but one of the teens that Adam was with that day knew these young men at that time. You may have to requestion everyone and do the forensic work all over again but at least you will be doing things right. You owe it to Adam and to the society to find the true killers. Don’t just sit there and thug everyone away because they are contrdicting you. It is not about the fame it is about a serious wrong that was done to an innocent child! So let me put it to you straight I fight for murdered victims rights! And if Adams case is not done over again than I will also make sure that Americas Most Wanted looses its publicity for wrongfully neglecting to handle Adam the right way! And you also need to find the rest of Adam which still is in the canal! I think you all need to do a reality check and do everything right this time!!!! Because if not and you still leave it with Toole than prepare for serious consequence’s! Because the victim’s also have rights and Adam did not need to be exploited like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And this is a serious case of victim abuse! Leaving poor Adam’s body half found! And also faking the case to make it look like a serial killer did it to win the fame and publicity! That’s not right that’s selfish! Where did that leave poor Adam! All by himself with his soul all tore up to peices! Does he like all other murdered victims of those serial killer’s liker Toole, Dhamar, and Lucas deserve respect, sympathy, care and recognition that hey we were murdered here please help us to find our real killers and please treat us with respect and dignity! But no they can’t aks for that can they becaue they are dead murdered violently by some stranger. There life shattered before their eyes wrongfully for nothing! And what do they get back nothing! People love them but they do not see their side of the story as it really happened. Well that is where I come in. But to you skeptics I am a crazy nut that should be ignore just like those victms! And eventually just left behind! So don’t try to police my validity of my visions! When you all made a lot of mistakes yourselves! I am sure there is enough forensic evidence still left in Adam dental records to pin point the exact killer. Yet you all were either lazy or just did not want the truth than it would ruien the publicity and the controvsey that has been going on! I might not have had anything to do with Adam personally but I sure can tell when there is something not being done write! So redo Adam’s case from the begin and do it right! And get his body out of that canal and give him a proper burial so his soul may rest in peace! And most of all don’t cheat go out there and find Adams real killer’s! You owe it to all of the victims that were wronged!!!! Criminal Justice is just that. A crime has been done now go and get the justce that the victim deserev’s. I will along with GOD always will be there for them for there is a higher power always watching over us! The truth shal set you free and always does!!!!!

    Since reading your comment I have looked and looked for any link into one of the other kids there being a suspect. I actually found it to be an interesting idea.
    It seems as though the teens were checked out (in all official reports) and they were not considered suspects.
    I can only find 1 web page (nothing in any of the books that I have) that mentions this possibility.
    http://www.unposted.com/adam_walsh.shtml
    The site does not produce any evidence or give any real reason to suspect the teens.
    Actually it was also suggested on a reply on About.com as well, not part of the article only a reply from a reader. It was not suggested as anything other than a speculation to show how much we do not know about what happened to Adam.

    If you have more info on it I would love know.
    As for now I see no reason to suspect the teens, but I guess I could be wrong.
    Thank you for reading and for taking the time to post!

    I don’t believe that it was the teen but one of them definetly knew something. I went back and read your article about the teens. Defenetely one of them knew something. You must go back and interview them agian. The real killer is definetely out their and it is not TOOLE!

    And if you all don’t reopen Adam’s case and find that Teen that knows what really happened I will expose your truth that you tried to cover up all these years and used Toole as your scape goat to cover up for the Sears department store messup and your negligence to not follow through the way it should have been done and John Walshes truth as a womenizer as well. The public needs to know the truth and not your about your messup in regards to Adam’s case. And I won’t hesitat to let the public know everything and I won’t hide nothing!!! REOPEN ADAM”S CASE IMMIDIATELY AND GIVE HIM JUSTICE THAT HE DESERVES AND NOT A BUNCH OF FALSE TRUTHS AND POLICE POLITICS!!! THE TRUTH NEEDS TO COME FORTH NOW!!!!! You can’t police me down either! I know what happened I know your truth and I know why you don’t want to believe me. Because you want to protect the teens and the neighbor and the Sears department stores reputation as well as yours. But it is not about that. A little boy was wronged. His life taken abruptly by some strangers. And what have you done. Nothing but make a mockery out of his death by exploiting it and doing nothing to find the truth about how it really happened or who did it. Just wanted to show off your self by using Adams death and using those serial killers. While the truth was right there inside the Sears department store all along!!!! But no one noticed. And a life was lost for no reason at all to the negligence of the Sears department store and by the people that were to watch over him and the negligence of the police department to do a sloppy job to cover their tracks to not ruein the reputations of others so they find some strange diffters and put the blame on them after 10 years of their death in jail and with no real forensice evidence to claim the true validity of the case. And Toole had recanted a quite a few times after the police had interegated him to say that he killed Adam by force!!!! Grow up and do your job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all interegated Dhamar as well until he too gave in and said yes to killing Adam. So you interegated these men to say yes so that you could gain publicity. It was not about Adam it was about publicity!!! The truth always comes you can’t run you can’t hide and you can’t cover it up no matter how many badges you have!!! If there is a GOD the truth shal set you free!!!!

    To Mr. Neil Purtell,

    All of the above that I wrote anonymously is true to the best of my knowledge. I am very sorry for comming out so strong. Only that I whole heartedly believe that is was not Toole, or Dhamar or Lucas. I know that you guy don’t believe in us visionaries. But I had a sence of who you might be. I was not sure at first. So I wrote what I had seen in my minds eye and what I had truely felt in regards to Adams case. I had seen Adam for the first time after his death back in 1981. But I said nothing because I knew that no one would believe me. So I for 30 years had been seeing Adam. I had other psychics just like the movie Adam his mother had called psychics to find out about him. I had kept up with his case until I finally heards that it had closed back in 2008. However, I kept looking for a way to tell someone what I saw in my dreams and in my visions in regards to Adam. But I knew it was hopeless. So after all these years I find you Neil Purtell. Like some one had led me here to you. I hope that you would believe me. But when you didn’t I got upset. But that was understandable as no one believes in mediums and such non sense anyway. I aplogize for getting upset but now I know who you are. And now I know that I was led after all these years to you. But what all I said is true and not made up or anything. It would be your choice if you wish to not reopen the case and take a look at it from a different angle and try to test out what I was saying and find that kid he definetely know something. I am sorry that I had sounded so strong. But it is just that my gutt spoke out. And I had faith that Adams killer was someone from his neighborhood at that time. Now things had changed but the clue is to find that boy that Adam was with that day. He definetley knew something that could help find the truth about the real killer. But I had also no idea that you were the one that I was talking. And Adam now tells me who you are. Neil Purtell the one that talked to Dhamar. I hope that you would give what I am saying a benefit of a doubt. Again I apologize for being so strong headed. It is just that I believe what I believe and have faith in it as if some had guided me to write. Sincerely, Rita

  2. Rita,
    I am not Neil Purtell.
    Nor do I work for any law enforcement agency.

    But I found this article under Neil Purtell name online. So I thought that you were him. Because you were talking about Dhamar and Neil Purtell was the detective that had worked with Dharmar. I could be wrong though but the point is that Adams case does need to be reopned again and everything needs to be done right and the right justice does need to be given to Adam and his body needs to be found and also the right people that really murdered Adam need to be caught. Because when there is an innocent person murdered there can be no mistake!!!!!
