Walter Collins case became so popular that a movie starring Angelina Jolie was made on the same. The case was of a 9-year-old boy who disappeared in Los Angeles. Months later, he was found in Illinois. But what gets strange here is, that the mother of Walter Collins started denying that he was her son. He looked and behaved like Walter but the mother kept on insisting that this boy found in Illinois was not her son.

The mother was declared mentally unstable and was put in a psychic ward. Later the boy admitted that he was indeed not Walter but an orphan who read about the case and thought it was his chance of finding home because he resembled Watkins.

The real whereabouts of Walter Collins is a mystery till date.
