She searched for her missing son for the rest of her life! tragedy of Kristen Collins
The police returned the missing child to the unfortunate mother, but she did not recognize him — the boy really turned out to be not who he pretended to be.
In 2008, Clint Eastwood’s picture «The Changeling» was released, which tells about the real terrible events of the late 20s of the last century, when the Vineville maniac Gordon Northcott was operating in California.
His ranch will become the scene of a sophisticated murder of several children. One of the alleged victims of the sadist was Walter Collins, the son of telephone operator Kristen Collins.
It was the story of the disappearance of the boy that formed the basis of the film by Clint Eastwood, in which Angelina Jolie played the main role.
Single mother Kristen Collins adored her son Walter, considering him the only joy in life. She usually worked late at the telephone exchange and was not afraid to leave Walter at home alone. He was known as an obedient and well-mannered boy.
What was the condition of the woman when she returned from work and found that he was gone. She immediately sounded the alarm, turned to the Los Angeles police.
Kristen was greeted here with coolness and undisguised indifference. The local cops were notorious for being the most corrupt in America.
Time passed inexorably, the mother desperately rushed about in search of her son, no one was going to help her. The life of Kristen Collins turned into circles of hell: the fate of her son was unknown, she prayed that the worst did not happen to Walter.
Kristen turned to reporters and told about what happened. A hype rises in the city, which, of course, hits the reputation of the police. And the high leadership is playing a whole performance on the return of the alleged prodigal son.
Yes, Kristen Collins will meet a boy who looks like Walter. But it won’t be her son. The police had their own opinion on this matter, dictated by selfish interests about protecting the uniform, the image of the guardians of the law.
The cynical and arrogant assertion that the mother did not recognize her son on purpose was the reason for the conclusion of Kristen Collins in a psychiatric hospital.
But she couldn’t be broken. In addition, it will turn out that patients are languishing here, whose sons have also been kidnapped. Kristen Collins will leave the hospital, ready to continue looking for Walter and fight police brutality.
This time the resonance will be completely different. In an atmosphere of general indignation among the inhabitants of the city, the cops, under fear of losing their homes, will begin an investigation.
And soon they will appear on the ranch of Gordon Northcott, equipped as a place of torture for kidnapped boys, who were then brutally killed. The bodies of children were buried here, on the territory.
The mother of the Vineville maniac, Sarah Northcott, helped her son in everything and did not feel a drop of remorse for what she had done.
At her trial, she would take the blame for the murder of Walter Collins and be sentenced to life in prison on December 31, 1928. The American Themis will be too merciful to the кiller woman.
After 12 years, Sarah Northcott will be released. The only consolation is that the wyville maniac will not escape retribution. On October 2, 1930, in prison, the sentence of death by hanging will be carried out.
Hope in the heart of Kristen Collins still pushed her in search of her son. After all, Gordon Northcott never mentioned the name of Walter among his victims before his death. Kristen Collins will die in 1964.
Until the last hour, the poor and unfortunate woman believed that her son was alive. And she would recognize him even as an adult …
