John Walsh says 'Goodbye' to 'America's Most Wanted'
But don't expect him to be gone for long
John Walsh, host of "America's Most Wanted"
NEW YORK (AP) — John Walsh has said goodbye and thanked viewers of "America's Most Wanted" for helping bring almost 1,200 fugitives to justice over more than two decades. Walsh told his audience in brief farewell remarks: "You've saved lives and gotten people justice." The series aired its last weekly episode on Fox on Saturday. Fox has cited high production costs for pulling the plug on the series, which premiered in 1988. But Walsh vows he'll return to television. He said earlier this week he has heard from other networks, including Fox News Channel. A decision on a new TV home could be announced within two weeks, he said. Walsh, 65, launched his crime-busting crusade in the aftermath of the abduction and murder of his 6-year-old son Adam in 1981.

June 19, 2011 at 2:58AM EST Reply to CommentI want to thank you for all you've done to bring justice for the victims and their families. I have a cousin who disappeared several years ago. My uncle and my father both mourned him because they were sure he was dead but there was never a body. Because your show aired an episode about this cousin, his body was found and his killers brought to justice. When my uncle died not too long afterwards, I think he was able to have some peace of mind because of what your show accomplished.
