Lost in the Stacks: Bringing Adam Home: The Abduction That Changed America
As Mitchell discovered, almost from the start of that fateful July day in 1981 when Adam disappeared from a Sears store, the Hollywood, Florida Police Department were in over their heads. An inexperienced and arrogant lead detective plus a disorganized police force meant that the investigation never really got off the ground. Even more astonishingly, there was a confession, make that multiple confessions, from a truly evil individual who knew details that only the killer would have known, but again the lead detective was unable to do his job. It would take Joe Mitchell combing through all the files and following up on leads to finally prove that the confessed killer was telling the truth.
