This episode is by far one of the best in the series and was what kept me coming back for more. This story is based on a true case involving the disappearance of a 4 year old boy from his front yard in Sylmar in February 1966. In one of the largest missing persons search in Los Angeles history, hundreds of people spend 10 days searching for the little boy who vanished while riding his tricycle in front of his house. And just like in this episode, the little boy was found drowned in the swimming pool in his own back yard. After the search was suspended, the father was looking out his back window drinking coffee one rainy Saturday morning when he spotted the body of his son floating in the swimming pool.

The pool had not been cleaned nor drained since the previous fall, and it was murky, dirty and covered with leaves. Two teams of deputies had searched the pool on the second and third day of the search without results. Though the county coroner determined the little boy drowned, the father never accepted the verdict and believed his son had been abducted and killed and later placed in the pool. He claimed the gates leading from the front yard to the pool area were locked and could not be opened by a 4 year old boy.

It is a curious coincidence that the child serial killer Mack Ray Edwards lived only blocks from the young boy's house. His forte was kidnapping, sexually molesting and killing young boys 4 years and older.
