The "bizarre" snark is undeserved...

I'm not being snarky or insulting. It's simply bizarre that an unquestioned tragedy, probably the worst thing that can happen to a person, made him rich and famous. Would he have traded every bit of that to have his kid still alive? Of course.

His dad’s show has helped put upwards of 1000 wanted criminals behind bars.

This guy managed to create something positive out of a tragedy. The "bizarre" snark is undeserved...

As bizarre as it is for the murder of one’s son to turn into a lucrative career, it has to be heartwrenching to go without closure for over a quarter century.

As I am quite sure you know James, the family would easily give up all of it for one more day with their son.

As one who was very tengentially connected with the search for Shawn Hornbeck (I helped search some caves after a psychic said that was where his body lay) I met his parents once, and they now have their son back, but as a father, I can not imagine the horrors they lived through. My parents dealt with the death of a child, and I had an Aunt and Uncle who dealt with the death of an only child... but the very idea of a missing child....I wish this on no one.

God forbid that any parent should go through what the Walsh's have. May they once again sleep at night, or at least find peace on the other side. (and the same sentiment goes out to the Benet/Ramsey's) (and all the other not so famous families of missing children. It is a horror the rest of us can only imagine)
