" America's Most Wanted," one of television's longest-running 
and most respected programs, has been responsible for the capture 
of more than 700 fugitives and the recovery of more than two dozen stranger-abducted missing children. 
Hosted by John Walsh, a co-founder of the National Center for Missing 
& Exploited Children (NCMEC), the show has been dedicated to fighting 
crime and broadcasting pictures of missing children since its inception
 in 1988. 

The show's passion for justice stems from John Walsh's own tragedy 
in 1981, when his son Adam was abducted and murdered. 
"America's Most Wanted" has worked closely with NCMEC to locate missing children, vigorously promote child safety issues, and educate the country 
about the need for immediate media attention for any child who has gone 
missing. 

"America's Most Wanted" airs at 9:00 pm Eastern and Pacific time 
(8:00 pm Central) on the Fox Network. 

In September of 2002, John Walsh also began work with NBC as host of 
The John Walsh Show, where he continues to fight for victims and discuss 
timely news topics. Please visit www.johnwalsh.tv for more information
