NEW YORK, N.Y. – John Walsh has said goodbye and thanked viewers of “America’s Most Wanted” for helping bring almost 1,200 fugitives to justice over more than two decades.
Walsh told his audience in brief farewell remarks: “You’ve saved lives and gotten people justice.”
The series aired its last weekly episode on Fox on Saturday. Fox has cited high production costs for pulling the plug on the series, which premiered in 1988.
