Walter Collins: The Strange Disappearance, Re-Appearance and Tragic Death
Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always On Sale. Your Curator Kara Has the wild story of the missing child, Walter Collings.
Join us on this spine-tingling episode of the Oddity Shop Podcast as we explore the chilling story of Christine Collins and her missing son, Walter. Prepare to be captivated by the harrowing account of a mother's relentless search for her son amidst a web of police misconduct and societal injustice. The heart-wrenching saga of misidentification and wrongful institutionalization showcases the dark corners of early 20th-century America, shedding light on the flawed mental health system and the bravery of a woman wronged by those meant to protect her.
Not only does this woman's child disappear, we also dig into her being reunited with her child. It turns out though, the missing child returned to Christine was not her son at all!
As we close out the episode, we reflect on the emotional rollercoaster we've taken you on, from heart-wrenching historical cases to lighthearted personal dreams. We express our deepest gratitude to you, our listeners, for your unwavering support and engagement.
