Somehow you could tell this was NOT a True Story.It was more like a Hollwood movie of the 40s than anything resembling real life. The only time a missing kid appears like that is if he got lost or something. We had the usual cliches: the psychic who "saw" whatever it is they see and the helpful policeman. To say nothing of the rather stupid scene where a known paedophile,who just happenned to have a pair of the kids blood spattered underpants in his pocket.Even more unreal was the mother talking to him in his cell awaiting arraignment and somehow believing he knew nothing . And did I miss something but apparantly he was known to her once having domne some work in her house. This is when it got beyond being even silly.His reason for the blood spattered underpants was because he'd cut himself shaving and he'd nicked them from her house...I think. And herein lies a question: if this guy WAS guilty and the police roughed him up to get a quick conviction then it would have been a miscarriage of justice thing there. Now THAT'S real life Nothing about testing the blood but maybe they did and it was the same type as his. I would say this movie was rubbish.Stockard Channing was better in Grease
