The case of Gordon Stewart Northcott--the pedophile and serial child killer in Riverside County, California in the late 1920s--inspired the recent Clint Eastwood movie CHANGELING, starring Angelina Jolie as Christine Collins, the mother of one of Northcott's victims. I am James Jeffrey Paul, author of the first-ever biography of Northcott, NOTHING IS STRANGE WITH YOU: THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF GORDON STEWART NORTHCOTT. The book is now available from Amazon and other online vendors. (I should add that the script for CHANGELING was not based upon my book, nor my book upon it.) This multi-part video records a talk I gave on the subject to the Riverside Historical Society at the Riverside Public Library on 26 October 2008. The gentleman who introduces me is Mr. Steve Lech, head of the Riverside Historical Society. The photograph is in the public domain, and shows Christine Collins talking with Northcott in the LA County Jail's hospital. Erratum: At one point on one of these videos, I say that the Winslow brothers (Northcott's final two victims) were kidnapped off the streets of Los Angeles. I should have said Pomona.
