Who is Ottis Toole?

Ottis Elwood Toole was born on March 5, 1947, in Jackson, Florida.  Toole was exploring his sexual interest which explains his early visits to gay bars and gay pornography. He was soon drawn to prostitution which led to his criminal activities. By the time Toole had crossed his teen years, he had become extremely impulsive and exhibited antisocial behaviour.  Ottis Toole committed his first ever murder in 1962. A travelling salesman propositioned him for sex.  In October 1983, Toole confessed that he had murdered 6-year old Adam Walsh in 1981. He picked up the boy from the Sears parking lot and offered him candies and toys. This led to many more crimes as Toole got on the wrong path.
