For the postmortem: sssoooo what happened to Arthur? did they send him back to his family, Did Walter’s mom just adopt him because she was a greiving mother? DID HE EVER MEET TOM MICKS??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? P.S love you guys #shaniac #vivalahotdaga
Arthur Hutchins, Jr., the faux Walter Collins, spent part of his adulthood selling concessions at carnivals. He eventually moved back to California as a horse trainer and jockey. He died of a blood clot in 1954, leaving behind a wife and young daughter, Carol. According to Carol Hutchins, “My dad was full of adventure. In my mind, he could do no wrong.” It seems that he never met Tom Mix.
Yes!!
#vivalahotdaga !
Christine:This isn’t my son
J.J Jones:Am I a joke to you?
LMAO
💀
Huh
I knew this case because of “Changeling” (Great movie btw)
+Adnan Ahmed yep, It definitely is
Searched the comments for this because I knew there was a movie but couldnt remember the name!!
Marianna Pirazzini amazing movie.
Same here, I spent ages trying to remember the name
Not even 2 minuets in and I realized you were talking about the wineville chicken coop murders/ disappearances. Seriously one of the most heart breaking events to ever have and sadly some of those mothers never knew what happened to their children even though the killer was found the bodies weren’t. #postmortem #boogara
I think that’s the most shaken up I’ve seen Shane..you alright buddy?
#forthepostmortem was it a common thing in the 1920s for the police to trust the judgment of a pet dog over the judgment of a fully grown woman WITH PROOF THAT ITS NOT HER SON?
Amd dental records 😂
Magi MiteinemG Particularly in the 20s haha
“Obviously she’s a hysterical female so why would we trust her opinion over a dog’s?” –1920’s police officers probably.
Yes. Women clearly never knoe what they’re talking about
***sarcasm***
Yes, actually. Thousands of women were put in Psychiatric Wards for “speaking about politics” “independence from men” “novel reading” “laziness” “overaction of the mind” and many other bs things. If you were a woman with independent thoughts, the husband could do whatever he wanted.
Me: studying
Also me: proceeds to watch all of buzzfeed unsolved
Didi Dogster I’m studying law so technically am I still studying?
BuzzFeed Movie Idea: C.C. Tinsley vs. the Evil Forces of J.J. Jones, Dr. Fear, and the Watcher. #postmortem #boogara #unsolved #shaniac
Who is Dr.Fear? From which episode?
+S M Ricky Goldsworth would be the cocky criminal who C.C. Tinsley reluctantly partners with to solve a case.
There’s an end credits scene where Maizey and Pam show up with Minestrone and create a superhero team.
The place where the movie will be recorded shall be on the Alcatraz Island ((The Alcatraz Prison Break episode))
You should definitely do the disappearance of the Beaumont Children. It’s a cold case from Australia in the 60’s. It’s really interesting.
+gemini kala i think its one of those things we wont understand. as you said, it was a different time, and that kind of thing didnt really happen very often
I’m pretty sure they did, way back when it was on the OG buzzfeed channel
+Mr. Meeseeks they did? I don’t remember.
+Mr. Meeseeks They haven’t done the Beaumont case, but have done cases similar to it (i.e. the Sodder children) and think considering the circumstances and events leading up to and after the fact, that this case would be worth checking out.
+Roxxane Cobain and Eugene Martin, too. Like Johnny Gosch, he was a paperboy who disappeared. According to Noreen Gosch (Johnny’s mom), she was informed of Eugene’s abduction a few months in advance by a private investigator.
Walter’s Mom : “I’m just trying to find my son–”
J. J Jones : ” *_TO THE RANCH_* “
He probably got accidentally murked by the other psycho kids… 😪 press F to pay respects

Oh god is that why no one ever actually goes to the ranch on dr Phil? 🤯🤯
Surprised they didn’t settle for solitary confinement instead.
army 💜
lollipops for ducks wait BTS army or 9 year old army
Walter and bobby Dunbar met on the same farm and lived happily ever after
It would be awesome
Ya boi Victor hey why do so many people have that profile pic? What is it?
For a moment I thought I had somehow accidently clicked on that old episode about Bobby because it started very similarly!
Insert that Spiderman meme here 😂
Christine: I’m not sure if he’s my so-
J.J Jones: YOU FOOL!
I KNOW MY JON YOU CRUEL WOMAN. LOOK! THE DOG WAGGED ITS TAIL! YOU INCOMPETENT MOTHER!
You fool. You absolute buffoon. Do you dare to challenge me in this realm?
This story was the inspiration for the 2008 Angelina Jolie film “Changeling”.
Anagha M. One of the best movies of all time!!!
New Walter: hey Ma, can we go see the new cowboy movie?
Mother: But, you were abducted last time you went to the movies!!
New Walter: right…..
Kemmammaw waSzz.msmxmxs.
*sees boy wrapped in newspaper *
bystanders: YES
That mom did a better job at investigating this mystery than the police
arthur hutchins: yeh i’m not walter
j.j jones: *suprised pikachu meme*
Pikachu is a closeted homosexual
He’s nine years old! He’s a full person!

Plot twist Walter was killed and became the boy in the box
