Is this Movie Real?


Hey all.

Is this movie based on true events? If so does anyone know where this happened?

reply

Yes this movie is based on a true story. I don't think we will ever know where it takes place because if you notice the end where they say what happened to the characters, they put their names in "quotes" so I think they renamed everyone. Great movie.

Well, I wanted to reply and give some better information, but I'm not sure how much help I am on that because I can't really remember everything. I haven't heard all the details in many years. It's definitely based on a true story though, the infant who was kidnapped is my cousin's cousin, rachel, whom I've met. However I cannot for the life of me remember where they were when it happened.

If I remember correctly, rachel was kidnapped by a woman who posed as a nanny and entered their home. And also, it's been a long standing assumption in my family that, even though he denied it, the woman's husband knew about and was in on the kidnapping from the beginning.
