I kinda get it from a “ he’s been through a lot, so might not be behaving the same and will look different” but when she then comes back with the actual evidence it’s not her son, it’s ridiculous how they then continued to treat her even before locking her up and medicating her
"Ah yes, this kid we dropped off in the middle of nowhere found his way back. And the dog recognised him. Its your son." "His dental records dont match." "Youre just trying to make us look bad!!"
Honestly, Arthur is a fascinating kid. Taking up the role of someone else's child to escape his own life, just adopting this entirely new persona at 12 years old. I'm curious how his life ended up going.
I think most kids who think they're badly off (Whether that's true or not) have ideas like this and may even follow through on them if only they could, so this was simply a case of perfect timing. Arthur was told he looked like this missing child, he had nothing better to be doing, boom, done.
As a 15 year old myself…i couldn’t imagine how hard that was for Stanford…being away from your parents and going away w/ someone you trusted, to be tortured. seriously disgusting and so sad :(
Don’t let this story scare you! Murder is incredibly rare! Also most murders aren’t committed by strangers but within the family. True Crime channels like to exaggerate stranger danger because it makes the cases more sensational. Be sensible but live your life without fear. In general people are kind and decent Peace and happiness from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Just turned 45 yesterday. Wish I could go back & tell my 15yo self to not sweat the small things, and to enjoy life more. By 25 it was already too late...
Sweetheart you should see what some of these foster children I get look like most are age appreciate to my son. Yet these teenage boys are a foot shorter. I am ably 5"3 153 these children are all my sizeand bigger but to see close to a grown young adult to flinch at a caretaker/ mother. These children are so sadly scared. That's why we don't age out. If you turn 18 and want to go to college and work pt. We are a forever home. Some children have extended family to turn to. Most don't so we don't care if the $$$$ stops. Your in school your welcome to stay.
@sewer~rat 44 thousand people in the USA last year died in car crashes compared to 22 thousand people who were murdered. So you’re over twice as likely to die in a car crash than you are of being murdered! Do you avoid getting into cars? Of course not! statistics -Federal Bureau of Investigation
The boy whose missing for 5 months and suspected to be abducted and the police were like "Let's drop this boy on the edge of the town and let him walk home on his own".
I was literally like, 🤦 who the fuck thought it was a bright idea to put the recently missing boy, back into a position where he could go missing again?
I honestly can't believe the Police are the ones saying "No this is your child" to the mother when she knows he really wasn't and has proof of it. Like wtf
IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear kw
The police wanted the case over so they wouldn't look bad. They didn't really care if it was her kid or not...the kid said he was hers, so, yay, case closed, case solved, good job police! That particular police force was very corrupt at that time.
LA police, especially at this time, were very corrupt. A missing child of known criminal isn’t worth their time and the media attention didn’t make them happy to keep it going. They wanted it ‘solved’ more than anything, no matter what the mother says.
@@babamoeensam7.1.14 I don't think it's very fair to tell a mother who's son is missing to "try out" a child who she knows isn't hers while her actual child is still somewhere out there while they sit around and do nothing. That's literally making a mockery of the situation.. how wouldn't she recognize her own child? The movie Changeling depicts it well.. there were moments she tried to force herself to believe it really was Walter because of the pain of not having him around and the desire to. It's really messed up to make her have to go through that.

It’s absolutely horrendous how the police treat Walter’s mother. The fact they asked her to spend a few weeks with Arthur just to see if it was her son, and when she told them she didn’t think it was after 3 weeks they locked her in a psychiatric hospital?!
Thank you for this!! I remember a part of the movie where the mom is taking "her" kid a shower and realizing it isn't him but I could not remember the name of it
@@clarejohnstone7479 i had absolutely no idea but its been ages since i saw the movie and for some reason i thought it had these weird creatures in pretending to be the kids. Im really gonna have to rewatch it!
And she doesn’t put on an overly dramatic voice in her videos, she just talks like she’s a friend telling us a story. Those dramatic voices make me click out of videos real quick.
[Trigger warning] Thank you so much Eleanor for speaking about child sexual abuse so sensitivley and in such a dignified way. The way you described the way children don't often realise what's happening at the time was so well-worded and hopefully will help explain to people who don't understand that sort of thing, so thank you xxx
This whole case makes me physically ill … how could neighbors ever ever know something like that was going on and not say a damn thing! Imagine if that was your child. This is horrendous, so sad for the poor boy Sanford. I have so much empathy and sadness for this case. Also so insane how unhelpful the cops were for these cases ! Like they really put the mother in an insane asylum for knowing that wasn’t her son. And I honestly feel horrible for that boy pretending to be the son he just wanted a nice home with nice parents. 😭 my heart is just breaking during this whole case !
christ almighty... listening to what Stanford went through has made me physically ill as it reminded me of something similar to what I went through when I was 13 but never to that extent. He went through that for so long? Knowing he's in the middle of nowhere, no help, no one to hear his cries and screams. I hope he made it out alive and received love, support, and therapy... it's the least he can receive after going through that.
Stanford went onto marry. They adopted two boys. He was a lovely husband and father. His son collaborated with an author to write Sanford's story after he died. It's called "Nothing is strange with you". Shocking and disturbing book.
@@rosiebottom3870 this makes me happy. Good for him for at least making a life for himself and not get lost in the trauma. Even though I am sure he had a ton of that to deal with.
Please never minimize what you went through. Even a fraction of that kind of abuse is wrong and please be a survivor and live your life well and be happy that you are a survivor. Good on you!!!
Although Stanford did go on to adulthood, he was terrified of passing down genetically the horribly wicked behaviour his relatives possessed. That is why he adopted two children.
That movie has so many parts to it, it’s almost like at the end of the movie that you forget where you started. It’s really good. I can’t believe it’s based on true events. Wow. Terrifying
@@tellmeofyourhomeworldusul6060 Yes so shocking that it was a true story. I always remember the last scene when she walks away and the voice over says that she never stopped looking for her son, utterly heart breaking.
This makes me so angry that the police were accusing the mother about lying. Like it’s her son, how would she not know when something was wrong and that was not her son?
The fact that the neighbors knew infuriated me! They could have saved so many peoples lives and gotten these boys help. If you know people are being abused, it becomes your business! You need to try to get them help, and these neighbors are terrible for not doing anything. I just know this case would be so much different if they spoke to police when they first noticed abuse and the underage boys being taken to the farm.
Seems to happen pretty commonly in America even nowadays ( this thing if neighbors thinking that it’s none of their bauinesss what others people do ) , in other counties where people habe much stronger relationships with the neighborhood it would be impossible to hide stuff like that
Sometimes it is quite difficult because you don't know the whole story of what's going on and, unfortunately, good systems aren't in place to help. There's a grown boy here, for example, who probably has the mentality of a four year old or something. He's left out to walk around by himself all the time. His family is a complete mess. It's definitely not a good situation for him, but what do you do? If you call CPS or something, the services there often have notoriously bad results. Mental health care is crap. Our police are fairly lazy. The reality is that it's highly unlikely he'd end up in a better situation and he might end up in a worse situation. Which leaves people stuck sometimes. Now, if I KNEW someone next door was raping kids or something, I'd 100% call the police on them. But if you hear yelling next door, which happens all the time, most people probably don't bother because they aren't sure what's happening, and people yell and scream all the time. It's sad that he tried so hard to get out of going. I can't imagine sending my kid off like that and... just not seeing him again? I'd be uncomfortable with my kid out of my sight for a day, much less sending him away with no way to get help. Thankfully his sister seemed to give a damn.
Angelina Jolie starred in a really great movie about this called The Changeling. She did such an amazing job, and it’s such a great but also very sad movie, one of my favourites! It really encompasses this whole case from Walter’s mother’s perspective.
haha yeah as soon as I heard that multiple children were abducted,, then she got sent to mental asylum and then boys were abused on a farm I started to look through comments to find one like this
@Dodge Morningstar but they are... They're supposed to lead investigations and permiss detectives to help with the case. It was entirely on them. They SHOULD have gathered all evidence to support all claims. It's their job
I mean I wouldn’t say she was “smart” she just knew it wasn’t her kid lol that’s not hard. The police knew he wasn’t also they just tried to play it off. Smarts had nothing to do with it
But the emotional torment the real mother went through am sorry but something was seriously off with him he saw Walter's real mom in agony being gaslighted his not a genius but a criminal.
@@cheeriototoro8063 Actually, NPD is developed between the ages of 4-6 so people do have the disorder by 10. I’ve known one. I’m not saying this child was, I don’t know, but simply that it is possible.
Gordon looks straight up insane in that photo. 😳 I do feel bad about his upbringing but once you're an adult, you don't get to use your childhood trauma to cause trauma to others.
THIS CASE WAS MADE IN TO A MOVIE CALLED ‘CHANGELING’ !! its so good and even sadder, everyone should watch it, also it stars angelina jolie !!! i was wondering why the story felt so familiar 😭😭
I’m suffering through some really dark times right now, but just hearing Eleanor talk even watching the same video over and over.. it makes me feel better. I relate
fun fact Arthur actually revealed that he wanted to go to california to meet his favourite hollywood actor, and that’s also part of the reason why he pretended to be Walter
So first, Sanford's mother send him to the farm against his will And then never visited her son in 2.5 years? It just angers me how ignorant parents can be! 😑
parents used to be a lot more trusting back in the day. it’s like how people used to leave their front doors unlocked- they never expected truly awful things to happen until they did. thankfully most people know how best to keep their families safe now though
It was the 1920s, and the boy was in different country entirely. He even updated her regularly with letters! And here’s the kicker, he was in the care of her brother, his uncle. I’m sure she didn’t worry too much about him, because(on the surface) she had no reason to. Maybe if times were different she might’ve been more concerned but there are parents who are fooled even in modern times when their children are kept in bad conditions.
Please link this to part two, the video names aren’t similar so it’s hard to track your two parters to work out what is linked. I think this is why a lot of people seem to get anoyed at two parters.
I live in the same city that this occurred. I drive by this house everyday...yes it is still standing to this day. My kids are fascinated by it. The name of the city has been changed several times so that we are not associated with the murders. Most recently our city was re named Jurupa Valley. I still can’t believe anyone would want to live in that house. Super creepy!!! Can’t wait for part 2.
He got married and adopted 2 kids BUT due to the abuse sanford couldn't walk without a limp and when Sanford was on his deathbead his son said i love u and sanford said "why would u"
hey Eleanor, I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on the Sophie Lancaster case? she was a British girl who was beaten to death for being dressed as a goth, and her boyfriend was also kicked into a coma for the same reason. I feel like it’s a case that more people should be aware of and the message it holds is so important. thank you for your time :)
This case is heart breaking. I watched a documentary on it and have knew about the case for years and it still breaks my heart every time. Coronation street have done a story line based on this case to get it out to the public to help share her story. Her mother helped the producers and writers every step of the way.
I really really hope Sanford was able to go on and have a somewhat normal or happy life. I’m not sure what ended up happening to him but I’m really hoping it’s positive. 😞😞
He got married and adopted two sons. He was afraid to have his own due to the family defects. Read his story. His mom and other members weren't all there
Fortunately, he got a wife and adopted two children. Unfortunately, due to the sexual abuse he suffered he never walked normal again. He also blamed himself for all the shit he and those poor boys went through. On Sanford’s death bed, his son said “I love you, Dad” and Sanford’s last words were “why would you?”
@@selamh.9484 he walked with a noticeable limp (and had to use a cane?). It’s been a while since I read The Road out of Hell which is about his life and abuse-in horrific detail.
I don’t comment often and I believe this is my first time commenting on your channel. I love watching you videos! It’s nice to hear cases while working/studying/or just drawing. It’s nice and I love how you explain the cases and aren’t like others who have to make them sound scary with background music or anything like sounds. Thank you !
I'm from Mira Loma and it's crazy to know that this happened 5 minutes from my house. I've driven past that street so many times and still get the chills
She mentioned that the nephew had stopped growing due to malnourishment, so would have appeared much younger than he was, and tbh the uncle looks a lot older than 21.😬
There are 8 years and 12 days between my daughters and people have asked if they are mother and daughter. I presume these people must be blind or something.
Listening to all that happened to Christine just hurts my heart! As a mother of 4, this is the stuff that gives me horrendous nightmares. I appreciate Eleanor giving us the heads ups but I still had to listen. Can't bring myself to watch the movie still but I am intrigued (and horrified) by this.
I really really like her vids because of that, I've watched cases that I already knew about covered by her and it was by far the best decision! She includes a lot of info not every channel does and it can change a lot the way you see a case and such, she is my favorite creator :)
sometimes I wonder too how could she have found such detailed information in these cases, does she know anybody from the govt or police force? lol Im amazed at her research ability
I can admit when I’m wrong. I was definitely wrong when I said you repeat yourself a lot. You actually tell the story in a more unique and mysterious way without revealing too much too soon and I LOVE IT.
I remember when Ryan and Shane at Buzzfeed Unsolved covered the disappearance of Walter Collins, and I’m extra glad to be hearing your rendition of that story and including the murders !!! Love u !!!
There was actually a bio of Sanford Clark written (believe the title is “The road out of hell”) - it’s pretty brutal but gives allot of information about his situation and Northcott’s motives/thoughts/whatever… worth reading if you are interested in this
How was the police able to do that to that poor mother when she had the physical evidence from the dentist showing it wasn’t her son?! I would be going to the news with the records to prove myself
I loved your intro about Babbel and learning Spanish for yourself and your self enrichment. I’m learning Korean because I think the language is truly beautiful and it’s something I can do for myself, by myself for an hour or two every evening. No one bothers me, I can have my downtime to learn and it’s something I am truly enjoying.
I remember when I was about 10 years old we were on a holiday, my sister thought that I was asleep and watched the movie besides me. I was always into Horror and True Crime stuff so I watched the movie without her knowing. I couldn’t sleep that night and at one point I closed my eyes bc I just couldn’t watch it anymore. I only remember a scene where a man gives a little boy an axe and tells him to cut another little boys head off and that scene fucked me up. I never watched it since then, so I could totally remember it wrong as I was just 10 years old and my brain probably was too shook to remember correctly🤷🏼♀️ I didn’t know that it was based on a true story and found out when I was about 15 years old. The part that scares me the most is that I was never a girl who got scared easy, I watched way scarier movies when I was only 8 but I can’t bring myself to watch it again, even now that I’m 23 years old. I guess what I wanted to say with this whole book I just wrote, this case is probably the one that will haunt me the rest of my life, my heart just hurts so much for all the little kids as well as all the parents going through what I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy😔💔
After watching “The Changeling” and reading about this story, I actually looked over my 4 boys for specific traits on them that I could use to tell the difference between them and a look alike (I suffered bad postpartum depression and this story popped up in my head a lot) Each one of my kids have something specific that I look at almost every day so that I would always remember it, from birth marks to specific identifying beauty marks, even in very “odd” places. To say this story had an effect even 100 years later is an understatement.
i absolutely love how Eleanor gives a TW at the beginning of each episode, as a lot of youtubers jump straight into the case w/o giving a warning for those who may be sensitive to those sort of topics.
Laid up after surgery on my leg. Grateful to have a new eleanor video to keep my busy! You're such a good storyteller and so respectful of content and parties involved in cases you present!
i know she had no way of knowing what would happen, but i can’t help but be so damn angry at sanfords mother for allowing him to go live with that monster. i could NEVER let my 13 year old son go live with somebody other than myself with no way of communicating other than through letters, let alone in another country?! and then she went YEARS without even so much as a damn visit?! ARE YOU JOKING??? terrible terrible mother i don’t care what anybody says, if my baby told me he didn’t want to go that would have been that. i hope that poor boy went on to live a good life if that was even at all possible. this whole thing breaks my heart 💔
OMG thank you Eleanor ❤️ Did you know that this case was so disturbing/disgusting that Wineville actually had to change the name of the city to Mira Loma? I used to live near where this all happened 😱
Obsessed with this case since I seen The Changeling. I was about 9 years old and my friend showed it to me on a broken laptop, I remember being totally engrossed in the story. I literally refused to believe it was real for a week or two
Would you consider covering the ‘Manendez brothers’ case? There is a lot of friction around the retrial at the moment and I think it would be interesting to get a whole oversight
PLEASE cover the case of Mauerova's family, also known as the Kuřim case. It's a crazy story from the Czech republic with a mindblowing twist, you will be shocked!
This is one of the saddest & creepiest cases I’ve ever read about. The worst part is Christine never really got to know what happened to Walter. If you want a good adaptation of the case & specifically Christine’s ordeal, watch “Changeling” but be warned it gets tough to watch
i absolutely adore that you put trigger warnings on your videos and give people a warning of things that could be possibly upsetting and then say “just click out i’m sure i’ll see you soon” it’s so genuine and pure ♥️
Aww guys my heart just broke the more Eleanor told this story. It started out so well. I don’t know why I had high hope this one would go different. Eleanor is such a good storyteller she conveys it so well
It’s so weird to me that the police didn’t check the dental records and the mother had to go do it. I was thinking maybe they didn’t have dental records of her son at the time or something, but the police could’ve looked at dental records but chose instead to run those ...”tests”? lmao what?
Cops r lazy, back then & still today. This was a hundred years ago & children r still abducted & trafficked. I'm pretty sure if we made this issue a priority, we could lower the numbers immensely. We have not evolved all that much, it's embarrassing.

But they were fair though, they asked her to try him for few days & see, so it was really a fair deal, right?
@@babamoeensam7.1.14 YEAH but they have a no return policy.
@@babamoeensam7.1.14 I don't think it's very fair to tell a mother who's son is missing to "try out" a child who she knows isn't hers while her actual child is still somewhere out there while they sit around and do nothing. That's literally making a mockery of the situation.. how wouldn't she recognize her own child? The movie Changeling depicts it well.. there were moments she tried to force herself to believe it really was Walter because of the pain of not having him around and the desire to. It's really messed up to make her have to go through that.

I cannot imagine being the mother in this situation... how horrifying and terribly sad to be put through all of this while dealing with the loss of her son.
imagine how walter's mum must've felt being accused for lying about something like that, absolutely traumatising
And sent to a psychiatric hospital! I really can imagine her thinking that she was maybe wrong and she just rejected her son
Soo scarry
It’s absolutely horrendous how the police treat Walter’s mother. The fact they asked her to spend a few weeks with Arthur just to see if it was her son, and when she told them she didn’t think it was after 3 weeks they locked her in a psychiatric hospital?!
And she literally did a better investigation than them.
This was made into a movie. It’s called changling, Angelina jolie plays the mother. It’s a really depressing story

Thank you so much Eleanor for speaking about child sexual abuse so sensitivley and in such a dignified way. The way you described the way children don't often realise what's happening at the time was so well-worded and hopefully will help explain to people who don't understand that sort of thing, so thank you xxx
She really did a great job in djs vjd
thank you for putting a tw! many people don't really do that so I and many others appreciate it :>
She does such a good job with that. I was sexually abused by my father from 2-15. It wasn't until I was 14 that i fully realized what was happening.
@@xxsp00kyxx23 I’m so sorry that happened to you, I had an experience where I didn’t realise until a while in either. I hope you’re doing okay :)
poor kid, no one should ever have to experience hell like that he was literally an innocent child
This whole case makes me physically ill … how could neighbors ever ever know something like that was going on and not say a damn thing! Imagine if that was your child. This is horrendous, so sad for the poor boy Sanford. I have so much empathy and sadness for this case. Also so insane how unhelpful the cops were for these cases ! Like they really put the mother in an insane asylum for knowing that wasn’t her son. And I honestly feel horrible for that boy pretending to be the son he just wanted a nice home with nice parents. 😭 my heart is just breaking during this whole case !
christ almighty... listening to what Stanford went through has made me physically ill as it reminded me of something similar to what I went through when I was 13 but never to that extent. He went through that for so long? Knowing he's in the middle of nowhere, no help, no one to hear his cries and screams. I hope he made it out alive and received love, support, and therapy... it's the least he can receive after going through that.
Stanford went onto marry. They adopted two boys. He was a lovely husband and father. His son collaborated with an author to write Sanford's story after he died. It's called "Nothing is strange with you". Shocking and disturbing book.
@@rosiebottom3870 this makes me happy. Good for him for at least making a life for himself and not get lost in the trauma. Even though I am sure he had a ton of that to deal with.
@@Daaaanielle I was wrong about the book title: it was called Road Out Of Hell.
Please never minimize what you went through. Even a fraction of that kind of abuse is wrong and please be a survivor and live your life well and be happy that you are a survivor. Good on you!!!
Although Stanford did go on to adulthood, he was terrified of passing down genetically the horribly wicked behaviour his relatives possessed.
That is why he adopted two children.
My heart breaks for the poor little boy and the abuse he suffered . Can’t believe the neighbours didn’t do a thing

The film `The Changeling` is about this story, stars Angelina Jolie and directed by Clint Eastwood. A harrowing story beautifully told.
That's what I thought it sounded familiar!!
Yes! Love that movie, so interesting but terrible.
That movie has so many parts to it, it’s almost like at the end of the movie that you forget where you started. It’s really good. I can’t believe it’s based on true events. Wow. Terrifying
@@tellmeofyourhomeworldusul6060 Yes so shocking that it was a true story. I always remember the last scene when she walks away and the voice over says that she never stopped looking for her son, utterly heart breaking.
This film made me cry ❤️
When you said the police were like “we’re literally right” I almost spit out my coffee, I was laughing so hard.
This makes me so angry that the police were accusing the mother about lying. Like it’s her son, how would she not know when something was wrong and that was not her son?
The fact that the neighbors knew infuriated me! They could have saved so many peoples lives and gotten these boys help. If you know people are being abused, it becomes your business! You need to try to get them help, and these neighbors are terrible for not doing anything. I just know this case would be so much different if they spoke to police when they first noticed abuse and the underage boys being taken to the farm.
Seems to happen pretty commonly in America even nowadays ( this thing if neighbors thinking that it’s none of their bauinesss what others people do ) , in other counties where people habe much stronger relationships with the neighborhood it would be impossible to hide stuff like that
@@salvolondon yeah I agree with that. It’s so sad how people don’t care about others especially when they know something is going on.
The 20s was a different world
@@bonniestull2222 yeah, but sadly many people still treat others like this
Sometimes it is quite difficult because you don't know the whole story of what's going on and, unfortunately, good systems aren't in place to help.
There's a grown boy here, for example, who probably has the mentality of a four year old or something. He's left out to walk around by himself all the time. His family is a complete mess. It's definitely not a good situation for him, but what do you do? If you call CPS or something, the services there often have notoriously bad results. Mental health care is crap. Our police are fairly lazy.
The reality is that it's highly unlikely he'd end up in a better situation and he might end up in a worse situation. Which leaves people stuck sometimes.
Now, if I KNEW someone next door was raping kids or something, I'd 100% call the police on them. But if you hear yelling next door, which happens all the time, most people probably don't bother because they aren't sure what's happening, and people yell and scream all the time.
It's sad that he tried so hard to get out of going. I can't imagine sending my kid off like that and... just not seeing him again? I'd be uncomfortable with my kid out of my sight for a day, much less sending him away with no way to get help. Thankfully his sister seemed to give a damn.
Angelina Jolie starred in a really great movie about this called The Changeling. She did such an amazing job, and it’s such a great but also very sad movie, one of my favourites! It really encompasses this whole case from Walter’s mother’s perspective.
i knew it was sounding familiar thankyou so much and yes the movie tells the story quite well
Just "Changeling". "The Changeling" will bring up a total different movie I found out.
I was looking for this comment! I’ve always loved that movie and I never feel like anyone has ever seen it. I forgot it was based on a true story
haha yeah as soon as I heard that multiple children were abducted,, then she got sent to mental asylum and then boys were abused on a farm I started to look through comments to find one like this
I saw this movie, too. It's very good and I believe it was directed by Clint Eastwood.
Can we admit how smart Walter’s mom was than the actual police who do this for a living-
True
I can't believe they didn't do the dental records first. The police who handled his are a joke.

@Dodge Morningstar but they are... They're supposed to lead investigations and permiss detectives to help with the case. It was entirely on them. They SHOULD have gathered all evidence to support all claims. It's their job
I mean I wouldn’t say she was “smart” she just knew it wasn’t her kid lol that’s not hard. The police knew he wasn’t also they just tried to play it off. Smarts had nothing to do with it
Just a small note - Marion Parker's killer was identified 5 days later as William Edward Hickman! ♥️

parents used to be a lot more trusting back in the day. it’s like how people used to leave their front doors unlocked- they never expected truly awful things to happen until they did. thankfully most people know how best to keep their families safe now though
@@eri020 that's true. But still for 2.5 years? It's too much
It was the 1920s, and the boy was in different country entirely. He even updated her regularly with letters! And here’s the kicker, he was in the care of her brother, his uncle. I’m sure she didn’t worry too much about him, because(on the surface) she had no reason to. Maybe if times were different she might’ve been more concerned but there are parents who are fooled even in modern times when their children are kept in bad conditions.
Please link this to part two, the video names aren’t similar so it’s hard to track your two parters to work out what is linked. I think this is why a lot of people seem to get anoyed at two parters.
She does usually link them on the little eye in the corner if you wanna check it out there.
I live in the same city that this occurred. I drive by this house everyday...yes it is still standing to this day. My kids are fascinated by it. The name of the city has been changed several times so that we are not associated with the murders. Most recently our city was re named Jurupa Valley. I still can’t believe anyone would want to live in that house. Super creepy!!! Can’t wait for part 2.
Wow, that is interesting, especially that the house is still there. TFS.
Angelina Jolie played the mother in Changeling, which is the films that was inspired by this tragedy.

I feel like it’s a case that more people should be aware of and the message it holds is so important. thank you for your time :)
I think this is a good case too.
This case is heart breaking. I watched a documentary on it and have knew about the case for years and it still breaks my heart every time. Coronation street have done a story line based on this case to get it out to the public to help share her story. Her mother helped the producers and writers every step of the way.
seen a documentary about her five years ago and I haven't stopped thinking about her since ! such a beautiful soul
I really really hope Sanford was able to go on and have a somewhat normal or happy life. I’m not sure what ended up happening to him but I’m really hoping it’s positive. 😞😞
He got married and adopted two sons. He was afraid to have his own due to the family defects. Read his story. His mom and other members weren't all there
Fortunately, he got a wife and adopted two children. Unfortunately, due to the sexual abuse he suffered he never walked normal again. He also blamed himself for all the shit he and those poor boys went through. On Sanford’s death bed, his son said “I love you, Dad” and Sanford’s last words were “why would you?”

So the uncle was less than 8 years older than his nephew, how did neighbours think it was his son?? 🤔

The missing boy part coming home to the wrong family reminds me so much of the Bobby Dunbar case!
"But they didn't really believe any of them were Walter." Okay, but then who was the kid banging on the window for help? That's disturbing.
Like Eleanor said, people were making up stuff just to be involved in the case so that may very well have been a false tip to the police.

I was always into Horror and True Crime stuff so I watched the movie without her knowing. I couldn’t sleep that night and at one point I closed my eyes bc I just couldn’t watch it anymore. I only remember a scene where a man gives a little boy an axe and tells him to cut another little boys head off and that scene fucked me up. I never watched it since then, so I could totally remember it wrong as I was just 10 years old and my brain probably was too shook to remember correctly🤷🏼♀️ I didn’t know that it was based on a true story and found out when I was about 15 years old. The part that scares me the most is that I was never a girl who got scared easy, I watched way scarier movies when I was only 8 but I can’t bring myself to watch it again, even now that I’m 23 years old.

After watching “The Changeling” and reading about this story, I actually looked over my 4 boys for specific traits on them that I could use to tell the difference between them and a look alike (I suffered bad postpartum depression and this story popped up in my head a lot) Each one of my kids have something specific that I look at almost every day so that I would always remember it, from birth marks to specific identifying beauty marks, even in very “odd” places. To say this story had an effect even 100 years later is an understatement.

Mom should have made detective instead of sent to a psych hospital. It would have been a real benefit to the town and saved time.
Cops r lazy, back then & still today. This was a hundred years ago & children r still abducted & trafficked. I'm pretty sure if we made this issue a priority, we could lower the numbers immensely. We have not evolved all that much, it's embarrassing.
FINALLYYYYY I BEEN COMING HERE EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST 4 DAYSSSS
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME
I honestly watch so much true crime that by the time the second part comes out I have no idea what she said in the first one. 🤦🏽♀️ I usually try not to watch until the second one comes out... but here I am...
Same 😆 felt like ages since a good proper case was out. So had to listen
Same mate, previous 2 parters I've clicked the first vid when its uploaded then hear it said that it's gonna be a 2 parter then I click off and wait for the 2nd part to come out before watching both back to back
@@Chloe299XxX I somewhat recently found a fairly good podcast type true crime series here on TH-cam if you're interested? Majority of the videos are an hour or longer and are VERY detailed.
@@licietheskeleton What is it? I have been watching all the That Chapter videos over but they are kinda short.
@@krissyfranklin6917 it's called "Human Monsters", which I find is quite a fitting name. The longest video is 5+ hours and a good number are around 2 or 3 hours. I can send a link to the playlist if you'd like?
"Changeling' starring Angelina Jolie was based on Christine Collins and Walter Collins. It is such a heartbreaking movie
Eleanor needs her own Netflix show 🥰
Yessss !!!!
101 %
Omg yesss
yessss
@@zoey5725 im a big beast
Just imagine everyone watching this right now is watching at the same time and no one has finished this video. Congrats on being so early that nobody has watched the full video yet😌😌
PLEASE PLEASE can you cover the shukri abdi case. it’s such a heart breaking story with barely any media coverage or attention :((
She has already covered it
@@Dream-kx2mw no she hasn’t? where
@@Salma-mv3ky she has but it’s one of her older cases if I find it I’ll tell u the title
@@Dream-kx2mw okay thanks.
I was so excited to see this!!!
I’m from Jurupa Valley/Mira Loma California and it used to be called Wineville. I’ve driven on that street a million times and it’s astonishing how many locals have no idea that this happened!
I’m from here too & always wanted to know more about this story. 🥺
Me: I'm gonna do twice the amount of homework so I can catch up.
Eleanor: Suh today's videuh is........
Me: Never mind.
This is brilliant 😂
I’m happy to know I’m not the only one 😂
