Walter Collins
On March 10, 1928, Walter Collins, a 9-year-old American boy, went missing. He was last seen in Los Angeles, California by his mother, Christine Collins, earlier that day when he left to go to a movie theater.
Five months after Walter went missing, a different boy claiming to be (and later found out to have not been) Walter was found in DeKalb, Illinois. When Christine insisted that the boy was not her son and presented dental records to prove it, the Los Angeles Police Department accused her of being a bad mother and had her committed to a mental hospital until the boy confessed that he was not her son.
Investigators in California later concluded that Walter had been murdered by Gordon Stewart Northcott, as part of the Wineville Chicken Coop murders.
