Bizarre Mysteries That Remain Unsolved to This Day

Walter Collins

In 1928, nine-year-old Walter Collins went to the movies, but he didn't make it home. At the time, the LAPD was dealing with several bizarre disappearances, so when the Illinois police claimed they had located Collins, they turned the boy back over to his mother. She insisted that the boy was not her son, but the police forced her to take him home with her. Later, the boy admitted that he was impersonating her son; the real Walter Collins was never heard from again.
