Re: "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh seeking the "truth:"
Closure seems to be such a beautiful word to use when the truth comes out.

The more John Walsh searched for the truth, the more time passed, but he never stopped seeking the "truth" of who was responsible for his son's death. It is good to hear he has finally received some closure, with police closing the case and blaming a now-deceased convicted killer.

Adam's parents have gone through a lot like other parents who have lost their child to an untimely death. Other parents have sat by and watched their children slowly slip away from them because of some terminal illness. I wonder which would be more painful. Both sets of parents would wonder why it happened to their child.

The "truth" can be a beautiful thing for parents seeking justice for their child or their children, if it is ever found. But what if the "truth" could send one parent to prison - would the "truth" be a good thing or not under this circumstance? Our court system is supposed to be set up to seek the "truth" but it can be manipulated because our legislators are not enforcing judges to honor the law in the family courts. Now children suffer throughout this country because the system has failed them.
