Walsh speculates that Laundrie is currently being aided and abetted by his parents. “I absolutely believe that his family is helping him stay on the run,” he says
Walsh, who also hosts ID’s “In Pursuit With John Walsh,” additionally reveals that his own show’s hotline has been flooded with tips relating to possible sightings of Brian Laundrie.
Naturally, not all of them are reliable.
“We’ve got people from all over the world calling saying that Martians got him and took him to another planet, and he’s inside hiding in an alligator in a Louisiana swamp,” Walsh says in the special. But he’s also gotten “solid” tips of sightings of in the Bahamas — which Laundrie could have accessed from Florida via ferry, Walsh explains — and in Mexico.
“We’ve had over a thousand solid tips to the ‘In Pursuit’ hotline. Most of them are about my theory of his father driving him to the Mexican border and letting him go through Mexico. It’s a great time to be heading south, because [there are] thousands of refugees … I mean, he could walk across the border naked with his hair on fire, and nobody would notice him,” Walsh says. “I think that’s maybe where he’s hiding — and somebody might be helping him.”

Walsh concludes, “We got a lot of tips about the Appalachian trail,” even though he personally believes that Laundrie is in Mexico.

Ok, so that’s a legitimate complaint. I dislike the ones who suggest he does this for the fame and fortune. I’m sure he’d rather have Adam prospering as a 40 something, any day of the week.
I don’t like Walsh. Self-promoter all the way.
No, you are a POS.
Walsh is little more than a carnival barker for himself now.
Correct
I hadn’t seen him in a long time. I’m sure he means well but it was awful to watch.
He’s a carnival barker for his own carnival. Smarten up.
Walsh is doing it for fame and fortune.
I think he’s long gone and the parents are probably sending him money. I doubt he’s out in that snake infested reserve.
I haven’t watched him in many years. It sounds like he wasn’t as compassionate as he should’ve been. Let the others talk.
Is John Walsh a reliable source of information?
I’ve just been reading an interview he had with Paula Zahn of CNN on February 25, 2002, regarding another missing person - 7-year-old Danielle van Dam of San Diego. Her neighbor, David Westerfield, had just been arrested for her kidnapping.
Walsh said they got the tip that Westerfield was in the desert that day. They didn’t need a tip: Westerfield had told the police that on the first day he was interviewed.
Walsh said Westerfield had always been single. Not true: he had been married twice, and until a few months earlier, his girlfriend had been living with him.
Walsh further said Westerfield had just moved into the neighborhood. Not true: he had been living there for several years.
Walsh said Danielle’s parents had cooperated with police from the minute that they walked into her bedroom and discovered she was missing. Not true: they spent the first day lying to the police to conceal their illegal marijuana use and sexual swinging lifestyle - and maybe also to conceal their inebriation that night.
And Walsh said the parents didn’t activate their home security system. Not true: it was activated that entire night.
But Walsh did get one important fact right: he said that Westerfield did NOT have child porn. That is true: he did not have any child porn - a fact which the rest of the media repeatedly got wrong.
