Walter Collins disappeared after going to a movie theater not far from his home. His panicked mother then contacted the police. The case of the boy’s disappearance immediately attracted widespread attention. In various newspapers and public places displayed his photos. Until one day the boy was found. But the mother was convinced that the child was not her son.

Walter Collins (September 23, 1918–1928) was an ordinary boy living in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles. The 9-year-old boy lives with his mother, Christine, who works as a phone operator.

The disappearance of Walter Collins

 

Column released once Walter went missing.

It was March 10, 1928. The weather was amicable. Children were playing outside. Walter asks his mother for money to watch a movie. After being given a penny, Walter immediately rushed to the screening area not too far from his house.

It was getting dark, but Walter never came back. Christine was so worried that she hoped her son would appear at the end of the street with his usual smile. But late at night, Walter didn’t come back. Feelings of worry mixed with fear of approaching Christine, especially when she went to the houses of Walter’s friends one by one, but they did not know where Walter was.

The city was actually still shrouded in trauma. About three months earlier, there had been a kidnapping of a 12-year-old boy, Marion Parker. The kidnapper who initially demanded the ransom was none other than psychopath William Hickman, nicknamed “The Fox.” The victim was not only kidnapped but also killed and mutilated. Although Hickman was arrested, the trauma and fear remained with residents around the place.

Back to the case of Walter Collins’ disappearance. As soon as Walter’s mother contacted the police, they immediately paid great attention to the case. The campaign to find Walter was everywhere. The search was conducted massively.

But unfortunately, this search seems to be deadlocked. Walter remains undiscovered. But there is a witness who claims to see a boy like Walter near north of San Francisco.

According to his testimony, he saw the boy at a gas station in Glendale. He was sitting in the back seat of a car. But unfortunately, only part of his head could be seen. The bottom of his body was covered in newspapers. The owner of the gas station there then explained the physical characteristics of the rider. He said the man driving the car was foreign-faced, like an Italian, and with him was a woman.

Initially, both Christine and the police suspect that Walter Collins was kidnapped by Walter’s father’s enemies, who were in prison. It could be his motive for revenge. Walter’s father happened to have the same name as his son, Walter Collins Sr. The man was actually in prison for armed robbery. The man was curled up in the custody of Folsom State Prison.

Walter Collins found? Walter Collins fake

 

Christine Collins and her “son” reunited.

The case of Walter Collins’ disappearance received national attention and the Los Angeles Police Department. They have followed up on hundreds of reports and leads, but still to no avail.

The police immediately faced negative publicity and increased public pressure to resolve the case immediately.

Five months after Walter’s disappearance, a boy appears and claims to be Walter Collins. He was found in Dekalb, Illinois. Christine, who got this news, was delighted. His beloved son was finally found. She even paid $70 to meet the boy and bring him back to Los Angeles.

The police then organized a kind of public reunion, hoping that the bad publicity the institution had received would be dashed. Moreover, at that time, the police were indeed being hit by a corruption scandal that tarnished the police department’s reputation.

But when the two of them were reunited, Christine stated that the child was not her son. Captain J.J Jones, the officer in charge of the case, then told Christine to take the boy home first for a few weeks. Christine tried to budge, but eventually, she agreed and was forced to take the child home at the same time.

Three weeks later, Christine returned to Captain Jones and insisted that the boy was not Walter Collins. Christine was then “lodged” in a psychiatric ward at Los Angeles County Hospital under “Code 12”, a term used to jail or commit someone deemed difficult or inconvenient.

Miraculously, the boy managed to convince the police and the psychiatrist that he was Walter Collins. Finally, Captain J.J. Jones specifically investigated this case. He felt that there was something strange about the child. Jones then sent the child to a psychiatrist at the Los Angeles County General Hospital. While there for several days, Jones then tried to get information from the child.

Apparently, his guess was correct. That kid was a con man. He admitted to being 12-year-old Arthur Hutchins from Iowa. According to his story, after his mother passed away, he was taken care of by his stepmother, Violet Hutchins. Apparently, his stepmother mistreated him. Arthur was often locked up and tortured. He then decided to run away by using public transportation.

Until one day, when he was in Illinois, he stopped at a cafe. According to his description, he heard a boy from Los Angeles who had disappeared at that time. A drifter at a roadside café in Illinois said his face looked very similar to Walter Collins. The child’s photo was displayed everywhere. Arthur, who saw him, immediately realized a golden opportunity lay before him.

Arthur saw this opportunity should not be wasted. He can have a new family and see Hollywood, which had long been his dream. This kid was a fan of the Hollywood actor Tom Mix. After adjusting his appearance to Walter Collins in the photo, he goes to the police station and claims to be the missing Walter Collins.

Christine was released ten days after Hutchins admitted that he was not Walter Collins. The woman then filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department. On September 13, 1930, Christine won a lawsuit against Jones and was awarded $ 10,800 in damages which Jones unfortunately never paid.

What really happened to Walter Collins?

 

Ranch of Gordon Northcott

Despite years of search efforts, Walter was never found. Only nine years old, the boy was suspected of being the victim of the serial murder of children known as “Wineville Chicken Coop Murders.”

The Wineville Chicken Coop Murders case itself was a case that occurred in Riverside County, California, in 1926–1928. The perfect time when Walter disappeared.

In this murder case, a man named Gordon Stewart Northcott commits kidnapping of children. After that, he took them to his chicken farm in Northcott’s in Wineville (now Mira Loma). There the young victims were abused, tortured, and killed. Gordon committed these heinous acts with the help of his mother.

By the time the police raided the chicken farm, they had found many limbs that were no longer intact buried here and there. Walter was thought to have been one of the victims.

Christine meets Gordon Northcott. After the first meeting, somehow, she felt sure that her son was still alive. She asked the man if he had killed her son, and upon hearing Gordon’s swirling and inconsistent answers, she concluded that the man was crazy.

Since Gordon doesn’t seem to know if he had met Walter, let alone killed him, Christine clings to the hope that Walter is still alive.

Gordon sent Christine a telegram a few days before his execution. He said he had lied in the telegram when he denied that Walter was one of his victims.

Gordon promised to tell the truth if Christine came to meet him, herself. Just hours before the execution, Christine visited Gordon. But seeing the woman’s arrival, Gordon refused. “I don’t want to see you,” he said when he confronted Christine. “I don’t know anything about that. I’m innocent.”

A news report said that Christine, angered by Gordon’s response, was also comforted that Gordon’s ambiguous answer gave her hope that Walter was still alive.

For years, Christine had refused to believe that her son was the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders victim. For 36 years, Christine never gave up looking for her child until she died on December 8, 1964. Walter has never been found.
