October 20th 2008 01:35
In Los Angeles in 1928, Christine Collins' 10 year old son Walter was kidnapped and murdered in the Wineville Chicken Murders. After Walter's disappearance, police found a runaway in Illinois who claimed to be Walter Collins. They gave this boy to Christine and tried to convince her that he was her son. She of course refused to believe it leading to great embarrassment for the police force. Christine was then thrown in the psychiatric ward of the Los Angeles County General Hospital, and was only released after the boy admitted he was not Walter after all. Walter's remains were later found near a Chicken Coup in Wineville.
The case gained nationwide attention throughout the saga.
