OT: Saluting AMW

A Saturday salute to John Walsh and his crime-fighting America's Most Wanted series as AMW hits episode 1,000 tonight.

AMW tipsters have helped coral more than 1,100 fugitives in 23 years, the most recent arrest being made soon after Walsh appeared on Live With Regis and Kelly Friday morning with a promo clip.

Walsh, whose six-year-old son, Adam, was murdered in 1981, also sat down with President Barack Obama this week and footage will be included in tonight's episode.



AMW has helped return more than 50 missing children to their homes. Nicky Sullivan, one of those children, now grown, will join Walsh tonight.

Episode 1,000 is an impressive milestone for AMW, a productive reality series that Fox once briefly cancelled.

Walsh has been a friend to Canadian police forces over the years.

Many more, John.
