“Capturing dangerous fugitives, bringing justice to victims and finding missing children is my lifetime’s work,” Walsh said in a statement. “I am so excited to hear America’s Most Wanted is coming back, and I support its return. God bless.”

America’s Most Wanted aired for 25 seasons on Fox, until it was cancelled in 2011. Lifetime revived the show that same year, before giving it the axe in 2013.
