Changeling received nominations in three Academy Award and eight BAFTA Award categories. Plot. In 1. 92. 8 Los Angeles, single mother Christine Collins (Jolie) returns home to discover her nine- year- old son, Walter (Griffith), is missing. Several months after Walter's disappearance, the LAPD tells Christine that he has been found alive.

Believing the positive publicity will negate recent criticism of the department, the LAPD organizes a public reunion. Although "Walter" (Devon Conti) claims he is Christine's son, she says he is not.

Captain J. J. Jones (Donovan), the head of the LAPD's Juvenile Division, insists the boy is Walter and pressures Christine into taking him home "on a trial basis". After Christine confronts Jones with physical discrepancies between "Walter" and her son, Jones arranges for a medical doctor to visit her. He tells Christine that "Walter" is shorter than before his disappearance because trauma has shrunk his spine, and that the man who took Walter had him circumcised. A newspaper prints a story that implies Christine is an unfit mother; Reverend Gustav Briegleb (Malkovich) tells Christine it was planted by police to discredit her.

Walter's teacher and dentist give Christine signed letters confirming "Walter" is an impostor. Christine tells her story to the press; as a result, Jones sends her to Los Angeles County Hospital's "psychopathic ward". She befriends inmate Carol Dexter (Ryan), who tells Christine she is one of several women who were sent there for challenging police authority. Dr. Steele (Denis O'Hare) deems Christine delusional and forces her to take mood- regulating pills.

Steele says he will release Christine if she admits she was mistaken about "Walter"; she refuses. Briegleb publicizes Christine's plight and rails against the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for its incompetence, corruption and the extrajudicial punishment meted out by its "Gun Squad", led by Chief James E. Davis (Colm Feore). Detective Ybarra (Kelly) travels to a ranch in Wineville, Riverside County, to arrange the deportation of 1. Sanford Clark to Canada.

The boy's uncle, Gordon Northcott (Harner), has fled after Ybarra unwittingly alerted him to his visit. Clark tells Ybarra that Northcott forced him to help kidnap and murder around 2. Walter as one of them.

Jones tells Briegleb that Christine is in protective custody following a mental breakdown. Jones orders Clark's deportation, but Ybarra makes Clark reveal the murder site. Briegleb secures Christine's release by showing Steele a newspaper story about the Wineville killings that names Walter as a possible victim. Walter" reveals his motive was to secure transport to Los Angeles to see his favorite actor, Tom Mix, and says the police told him to lie about being Christine's son.

The RCMP capture Northcott in Vancouver, Canada. Christine's attorney (Pierson) secures a court order for the release of the other unfairly imprisoned women. On the day of the city council's hearing into the case, Christine and Briegleb arrive at Los Angeles City Hall, where they encounter thousands of protesters demanding answers from the city. The hearing is intercut with scenes from Northcott's trial. The council concludes that Jones and Davis should be removed from duty, and that extrajudicial internments by police must be reviewed.

Northcott's jury finds him guilty of murder and the judge sentences him to death by hanging. Two years later, Christine has not given up her search for Walter. Northcott sends her a message saying he is willing to admit to killing Walter on condition that Christine meet him before his execution. She visits Northcott, but he refuses to tell her if he killed her son. Northcott is executed the next day.

In 1. 93. 5, David Clay—one of the boys assumed to have been killed—is found alive. He reveals that one of the boys with whom he was imprisoned was Walter.

Clark into custody after a family member informed them of the situation.[2] Clark revealed that he was forced to help Northcott and his mother, Sarah Louise Northcott, in killing several young boys after Northcott had kidnapped and sexually molested them.[2][3] The police found no bodies at the ranch—Clark said they were dumped in the desert—but discovered body parts, blood- stained axes, and personal effects belonging to missing children. The Northcotts fled to Canada, but were arrested and extradited to the United States.
