24: Changelings

When a child is found after having been missing for many months, the day they are reunited with their family should be the happiest day of their lives and their family’s.

But as their parents quickly realised, all was not as it seemed.  FURTHER READING: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-feb-07-me-5769-story.html (The Boy Who Vanished-- and His Imposter - LA Times) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Collins (Christine Collins) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wineville_Chicken_Coop_murders (Wineville Chicken Coop murders) https://amzn.to/3eMZ5xe (Changeling (2008 Film) ) https://amzn.to/3hqFMvh (Mizpah: The Bobby Dunbar Kidnapping) https://amzn.to/2ZKCyNp (A Case for Solomon: Bobby Dunbar and the Kidnapping that Haunted a Nation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Bobby_Dunbar (Disappearance of Bobby Dunbar) https://allthatsinteresting.com/bobby-dunbar (Bobby Dunbar: The Boy Who Vanished And Came Back As A New Child) https://www.history101.com/bobbydunbarmystery/ (Bobby Dunbar mystery solved?
