Adam, 4, was last seen playing in his front yard at the Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida on August 6, 1996. He was apparently abducted by Robert Alan Koester, who committed suicide on August 9 of that year by shotting himself in the head. Adam's reamins were not found until April 1998, in the woods in central Walton County, Florida. Koester has always been the prime and only suspect in his homicide. Police hope that new DNA technology can link the two and they can tell for certain who killed that child. All bio information and photo's are from the website Children Who Never Made It Home (http://www.free-webspace.biz/thevictims/ages.html).
!!!!!!The Following Information Is By Master Sgt. Richard S. Crim !!!!!!
Adam was the 4-year old son of Tech. Sgt. John Finch.Finch was assigned to Tyndall and living in base housing with his family. Adam "Wiggly" Finch liked to ride his bicycle outside in the neighborhood like any other little boy. He was also intrigued by the construction projects nearby.
On Aug. 6, 1996, Adam would go for what would be known as his final bike ride. His bicycle would never be recovered.
The disappearance of Adam sparked a massive search to include a feature presentation on the television show America's Most Wanted.
A prime suspect was named who worked near the Finch residence on base. He was a 46-year old civilian contractor who shot himself a few days after Adam went missing and it was later determined he was wanted for questioning a week prior to Adam's abduction for the molestation of two children in his trailer park where he lived near Tyndall.
The man also owned another residence in Pensacola, Florida, where he returned to when not working on the base. This bit of information would prove relevant to Adam's case when his skeletal remains were discovered on a piece of land between Tyndall and the man's residence in Pensacola on March 25, 1998. Witnesses later confirmed the man had befriended Adam just days before his disappearance.
