The Vanishing of Walter Collins

from Mysteries at Bedtime

In 1928, nine-year-old Walter Collins vanished on his way to the cinema in Los Angeles. Months later, police declared they had solved the case and returned a boy to his grieving mother. But when Christine Collins insisted the child was not her son, she found herself locked in a battle with one of America’s most corrupt police departments and at the centre of a mystery that would spiral into one of California’s darkest criminal cases.You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.
