Summary

Walter B. Collins was a nine-year-old boy who disappeared on March 10, 1928, in Los Angeles, California. His disappearance received nationwide attention and led to a scandal involving the Los Angeles Police Department. Walter's mother, Christine Collins, gave him money to go to the cinema, but he never returned home. Five months later, a boy claiming to be Walter was found in Illinois, but Christine insisted that he was not her son. The case took a darker turn when it was later revealed that Walter had likely been murdered by a serial killer in Wineville, California. To this day, no one knows the truth of what really happened to Walter. Click here to join our Patreon. Connect with us on Instagram and join our Facebook group.
