Episode description

Join us this week on 'Cold Case Friday' as we delve into one of the most haunting unsolved cases in Los Angeles history: the disappearance of Walter Collins. On a seemingly ordinary day in 1928, 9-year-old Walter Collins vanished, setting off a chain of events that laid bare the depths of corruption within the LAPD and sparked a mother's relentless quest for truth.

In this compelling episode, we journey back to the Roaring Twenties, a time of prosperity and corruption, of dreams and despair. We'll investigate the bizarre series of events that unfolded in the aftermath of Walter's disappearance, including a shocking case of mistaken identity and the scandalous misconduct of the LAPD.

We'll explore the chilling connection to the infamous Wineville Chicken Coop Murders and the enigmatic figure behind them, Gordon Stewart Northcott. Through it all, we'll follow Christine Collins, a mother whose unwavering determination to find her son brought her face to face with a city's worst demons.

Listen in as we examine the societal and cultural nuances at play during this era and their impact on this baffling case.

This is more than just a cold case. It's a testament to a mother's love, a city's struggle for justice, and a mystery that continues to captivate us nearly a century later.
