Walter Collins

Walter Collins was a young boy from Los Angeles who was kidnapped in 1928. His mother, Christine Collins, desperately searched for him and was told by police that he had been found and returned home, but she doubted his identity because the boy appeared different. Eventually, it was discovered that the boy was not Walter, and the real Walter had been murdered by a convicted criminal. The case gained national attention, highlighting issues of police misconduct, child abduction, and the importance of verifying identities in law enforcement.
