On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh walked into a Sears in Hollywood, Florida with his mother. Minutes later, he was gone.

In the premiere of You're Next Season 1, we go back to the toy aisle at the Hollywood Mall, to the last errand the Walsh family ever ran together. What actually happened in those first minutes? Why did the security guard handle it the way they did? And how did a missing child case in South Florida become the story that changed how America searches for its children?

This episode covers the abduction of Adam Walsh, the first hours of the search, the police response in 1981, and the family at the center of it: John Walsh and Revé Walsh, before the world knew their names.

The Adam Walsh case didn't just devastate a family. It rewrote the rules. Over six episodes, we follow the investigation, the confessions, the failures, and the 27-year wait for an answer.

New episodes every Tuesday. Episode 2 drops July 28.
