Crime and murder run rampant in our world. Some cases are solved. Others leave dangerous criminals roaming free. Could it be you? Don't be silly. Of course it could.
You're Next is a true crime podcast that takes one case per season and refuses to let it go. Hosted by Emilio Ybarra, each season unravels a single story episode by episode: the evidence, the timelines, the investigative failures, and the questions that never got answered. Because behind every case is a real person who deserves to be remembered.
Season 1 covers the 1981 abduction of six-year-old Adam Walsh, the case that changed how America searches for its missing children. New episodes every Tuesday.
EYES OPEN, BACK TO THE WALL.
A Red Thread Media production.
On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears at the Hollywood Mall. In a era before Amber Alerts, national clearinghouses, or established child abduction playbooks, the initial search was fraught with conflicting accounts, uncertain timelines, and critical missteps. In Episode 2, we reconstruct the crucial first 24 hours of Adam's disappearance—examining witness accounts, the store's response, and the systemic gaps that left investigators searching for answers for decades.

The Last Errand
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 return to the last errand the Walsh family ever ran together: the first minutes of the abduction, the mall security response, the first hours of the search, and John and Revé Walsh before the world knew their names. The Adam Walsh case rewrote how America searches for its missing children. Over six episodes, we follow the investigation, the confessions, the failures, and the 27-year wait for an answer. New episodes every Tuesday.
