Hi i wanted to know more about this story..because since yesturday evening i have gotten calls and neighbors knocking on my door showing me pictures of a magazine article where they told the story of what happend in 1928 in winville...Well i want to know more I live in 6330 wineville ave..and the house that is in the picture of the magazine where that man lived is our front house...hes chicken coop is now my drive way..All this is happening so fast ive lived here for the last 20 years and never heard this story before in my life.

Do you have any problems with ghosts?

I had run across this story in 2002 after we purchased a home in Mira Loma, and I was looking for some good "infamous" history in the area for some halloween stories. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but certainly nothing like this. I could only find a story from the Rubidoux Historical Society, written in 1988, and one or two blurbs on serial killer sites, but nothing more. I tried calling people, researched in local libraries (but not Ontario...different county), and the like, but found very little information, which was frustrating and a little puzzling.

Of course now, there is information EVERYWHERE. We finally got to see the movie tonight (daughter is with grandma), and I was a little put off by some of the inaccuracies, particularly the omission of the involvement of Northcott's mother and father, and the inference that significant remains were found of at least one boy. They also neglected to mention the Mexican boy whose body had been found earlier. Literary license, I know, but I think the inclusion of psycho ma and pop even more frightening. Things were much more gruesome than portrayed.

It was interesting to see the house - I thought I had recognized it, but couldn't place it. It is right down the road from a cute little place we looked at while shopping for a house.

Now, does anyone know if Northcott did for a fact pimp these boys out to a pedophilia ring before he killed them? I don't remember reading that before tonight while I was researching some of the "new" finds I made.

Thanks....

Hello all

Just watched the movie. Wow.

So many unanswered questions.

Did she every marry?
Why is the house on the list shown as built in 1930 when Walter went missing in 1928.

What happened to Cyrus

What happened to Northcott's mother after she was parolled etc.

Any information greatly appreciated.

I saw the movie ''Changeling",its so sad im only 12 but i feel sorrow for Walter and his mother.

One of the victims was a poor young Mexican boy found headless in La Puente, kind of like that Sleepy Hollow story with the Headless Horseman but this must have been more ethnic, maybe the Headless Gardner?

I went and saw the house yesterday... It does still stand (sadly) and the chicken coops, from what we could tell, were gone. It was sold in March of this year, and a woman came to the window as we approached and promptly shut the blinds. We went around the block and parked at a house behind it that was for sale and kind of got a peek into the back yard, but there are so many tress surrounding the property. We asked a few neighbors, but no one we spoke to had even heard of what went on there over 80 years ago. It appeared that whoever lives there actually has a child in this house! There were a few toys strewn around the house. If it were me, I would buy the house and have it bulldozed to the ground.... It was a VERY erie and creepy feeling there, and you can defenitly feel that something very horrible happened there. We were glad we went to see the house, and I personally think Christine Collins was a hero.....
