Adam Falcon’s Parents React to New Theory in Son’s Death
April 30, 2008
Adam Falcon’s death was ruled an accident, but was it really?
That’s the question the Falcon family wants answered as they search for the truth of what really happened to their son.
Adam Falcon died in 2004 after police believe he fell into the Grasse River and drowned.
The Falcons say they have never been satisfied with the investigation into their son’s death and they are getting closer to closure, but not thanks to the Canton Police Department.
Instead, two retired New York city detectives are providing clues that could potentially link Adam Falcon’s death to an underground national serial killer ring.
You can read our earlier report here.
The story has not encouraged the Canton Police to re-open the case, something that is frustrating the Falcons.
“Sometimes you get a made up story that suits law enforcement, yet they have no proof, no evidence that they can give you,” said Carla Falcon, Adam’s mother.
The Falcons also said that the Canton Police Department prevented them from reviewing photographs and documents that could prove their son’s death was an accident.
Canton Police Chief Alan Munkin said that the police department has worked closely with the Falcon family and has provided requested information as timely as possible.
Chief Munkin said that they would continue to closely work with the Falcon’s attorney.
