Adam Hecht - new pics and interview with Tony!!

[crystaldawn]

Hey guys! Today is the 35th anniversary of Adam Hecht's disappearance. I released his podcast today and there are some exclusives I know you guys will be interested in. First off, I did an interview with Harold Hecht Jr. about the disappearance. He was nice enough to send me 2 recent pictures he took of Tony (yes he's still walking the streets of Beverly Hills) and even sent a video of a brief interview he did with Tony asking him where Adam was. Here are links to the original article (with the new pics and link to interview) and links to the podcast where you can hear Harold's interview.

Awesome work! thank you

Woooooow. That's crazy. Tony looks much better than I thought he would. As much as I feel for Harold, interviewing Tony is a dead-end. Tony is way too gone mentally to tell him anything of substance unfortunately

I agree with your theory about Adam purposefully leaving his items in his car. I do lean towards Adam commiting suicide

Fantastic work as always!

I still can't get over the mother's blatant racism

I'm honestly surprised that he's still in contact/talking to Tony after all these decades.

I feel like Adam's family gets a bum rap for their so-called cold and snotty attitudes.

There are people in this world that will take advantage of you if you let them. Homeless or not. And then Adam just disappears, and Tony is living in his place. Adam's family had every right to be concerned. I don't care who you are or if you're living in Beverly Hills or small town USA. You invite some homeless person to stay with you, move in with you, and you do not know what you are going to get.

I don't know what happened to Adam, but it was obvious to me that Tony had mental problems and that hasn't improved. I guarantee you, if I invited some street person to live with me, my family's first reaction would be, "Are you crazy?"

Not to mention that when Robert went to Adam's apartment the first time after not hearing from him, Tony WOULDN'T LET HIM IN. I'm sorry, but that is Adam's brother and he's missing, and you don't own the apartment. And Tony's excuse is "It's really hot in here?" Then when Adam's mother goes there, she's only worried about her son, and Tony is following her being all creepy. "Give us a kiss." "I'm your son." I'm sorry, but this mother is worried about the son she hasn't heard from and this rando homeless guy, who is basically living off Adam's and his family's generosity and who clearly has mental issues, is acting really creepy. Not only that, he burned his hand in some weird "ritual" that this guy insisted he take part in. What is she supposed to do? Embrace Tony?


So i do not understand the bad rap that Adam's mother, sister, and brother get.

Furthermore, I can't understand how the police have eliminated Tony as a suspect. I mean you have no body, no physical evidence, no witnesses, nothing. All you had was his abandoned car and he was gone from the face of the Earth. How can you eliminate Tony or anyone else for that matter? I sometimes think they put out they have eliminated a suspect just to make it look like they have done something or made some kind of progress. When in fact they still have no idea what happened to Adam. And anything put forward is sheer speculation. I suspect he is probably deceased now, but there is no way to know for sure. Given the info they have, seems to me Tony should still be the prime suspect. Unless of course the authorities know something we don't, which is possible but there is nothing to indicate that.

Don't get me wrong, not saying yes Tony was definitely involved. Maybe he was maybe he wasn't. Or maybe he knows more than he is saying. He basically once told his brother apparently if he kept on the street he'd find his answer. I still can't understand why he'd say something like that if he didn't know something about his disappearance. But then the guy seems to be a couple bricks short of a dozen so who knows. The guy's behavior could not have been more suspicious.

I do agree about Adam's family too. Here its been several decades and they still have no idea what happened to him and all people can say is how snotty they come off. Maybe they do a little but the fact they lost a loved one still warrants some sympathy. Even accused them of racism. If Adam had brought home a black friend who was also from a somewhat affluent family or a college buddy or something who was fairly normal, I doubt his Mom had the same reaction. I think her reaction had more to do with how he behaved than his race.

Hopefully his brother and the other family he has still alive can finally get closure, seems unlikely now though to much time has passed.

Yeah, it's a little ridiculous. Everything points back to Tony. He's the only suspect.

I doubt Tony could orchestrate the theft of a bag of chips at a Subway, much less pull off the perfect crime as complex as Adams' disappearance was.

As I said here, I think Adam did almost exactly what Gail DeLano did. Ditched their cars, wallets, and personal possessions and walked away from their lives to go end it somewhere.

I don't think Tony is a suspect in so far as being involved in Adam's death or disappearance.. I think he might have, or HAD, a piece of information that might be key in solving it.. But.. I think his mental issues, he may not even remember or understand that it is a critical piece of information.

I can get behind that. However.. I'd have to believe it was in the ocean because.. No body has been found. While bodies do get found and not identified or misidentified.. The proximity to the ocean here probably pushes me a bit more that direction.

For the people here who want to inject race into it...

In my area, there is a homeless guy on a scooter who is notorious for harassing people for money. Everyone knows about him and knows to stay away from him. He's verbally abused, followed, and threatened members of my family. I've never tangled with him, but my family told me to stay away from him the one time I saw him outside a drugstore. This man is verbally abusive and potentially dangerous. He happens to be black. But we would stay away from him if he were white or Asian or Mexican.

Let's just say I befriended this person and invited this individual to live with me. i guarantee you my family would think I had poor judgment at least.

How do the people crying "racism" about Tony know that Adam's family wasn't just put off by his creepy behavior? And his mother said Tony smelled. I would think that if he was living with Adam and meeting Adam's family, he would at least have cleaned up. You don't go to someone else's house and not bathe. He was living in Adam's apartment, so he really had no excuse. Also, he did some weird prayer over the meal. I would never do something like that in someone's house because I don't know what their beliefs are. I realize Tony is crazy, but even crazy people are aware of how to act some of the time. Tony is certainly at least capable of maintaining a connection with Adam's brother all these years.

But how is it "racist" to expect Tony, street person or not, to at least take a bath, or not be creepy, or not do some bizarre prayer in someone's house when he doesn't even know them?

Tony needed a mental health facility, and more care than Adam could give.

And another thing that bothers me when I've read about this case. People have suggested in YouTube comments that Adam was doing drugs and Tony was his supplier or at least the go-between. There is no evidence to suggest that.

Adam's family were friends with Robert Stack. Does anyone here, all admirers of RS, really think that Stack would have put this case forward if he knew that drugs were involved? Robert Stack is high-profile. He'd be risking his credibility and the love and respect he commanded, not just in Hollywood but everywhere. That kind of speculation just burns me.

I think you are making a couple of leaps in logic here.

First off, I think most people could agree Tony was a few bricks short of a dozen. But I honestly don't think he would have survived in the ghetto all these years if he wasn't streetwise and cunning at least to some degree. Crazy and stupid are two different things. You seem to be assuming Tony was just stupid and incapable of anything, which I think is somewhat dubious.

Second, you are also assuming a perfect crime was committed here. Sometimes it doesn't have to be a perfect crime, sometimes getting away with something can involve luck. For all we know there could have been an altercation between the two and Adam could have fallen into a body of water or something, we have no idea what happened to him that remains a fact. Or Tony could have been involved and had help for all we know. Am i saying that's what happened? No. But the brutal truth is we still have no idea.

As for the suicide theory, the most obvious question is where was the body? Yes I realize many people think that Adam may have gone into the mountains or something and that's why it was never found. But the one fundamental problem with that is his car was found in the middle of town. So if you are going to go into the mountains to kill yourself why not drive all the way there?

Bottom line is, we know Adam had been venturing into the ghetto in the final months before his death. It seems far more likely to me he did it once to often and ran into the wrong bunch of guys.

But, like I said we really know nothing. Even if Tony was not involved he may very well have been the last person to see Adam alive.
