Walter Conrad Collins was a 9-year-old American boy who went missing in 1928.

Five months after Walter went missing, a different boy claimed he was Walter. When Walter's mother Christine Collins refused to believe this claim and insisted the boy was not her son, she was committed to a mental hospital for ten days until the impostor confessed.
