STOP sign in driveway is an So.Cal.Auto Club made sign, sure wish I had it for my Auto Club sign collection...

Whatever happened to Sanford Clark?

i love changeling so much! it made me cry... i recommend this movie to everyone

Wasn't Northcott psychoanalysed by specialists when he was in prison ?

With the technology we have today, has anyone tried to go back to the farm and attempt to locate remains?
