Vanished Without a Trace (1993) | Full Movie | Karl Malden | Julie Harris | Travis Fine

[@overpowereddemonslaya3543]

I wish they could make movies with this much heart in it these days in the past ten years they have made some good films but nothing that makes you feel like the movies of the 80’s and 90’s

[@blissreaders2411]

Nice movie. Watching from Nigeria (Dec. 17 2024)

[@galiagoze]

I remember this event as a highschool student in 1976, and it happened on the week of my birthday. We didn't have social media back then, just a little black and white tv. So I never learned all the details of this story. All received life in prison without the possibility of parole. But this was overturned to life in prison with the possibility of parole. Richard was paroled after 36 years and his brother James after 39 years. Frederick Woods was paroled after 46 years.

How sad for the parents to have two children in jail for so long. Wonder if the parents died before they got out

[@tammygilliam3324]

If you haven't watched this movie, you should. It really is good and not boring. I watched it yrs ago. Thanks

[@MelDally]

This was good movie based on true crime story.

[@louisholden2771]

why were they ever allowed parole ? should have never been aiiowed to be released

[@jonpeters3439]

I think that the brother who was nice to them when they were going down the one who didn’t want to do that should be released from prison the other two should stay

[@jonpeters3439]

Ric is the one who should be released

[@safiahhassan2713]

Thanks for the info ma'am. Will watch it now 😊

[@jessicamarydubois4370]

Wow... I literally couldn't take my eyes off this movie. Don't read down the comments before watching because some comments give the story away. Well worth watching!

[@flashgordon6670]

Yeah no one could ever guess that the culprits were caught and punished and the victims have a happy ending.

🤭 That moment(s) when all phones are busy, so kidnappers can't make their call... Fine movie; worth watching. 👍

[@31na]

What a great movie! Never give up. Thank you for uploading it!

[@MovieMakingMan]

Excellent movie! Great story and acting. Karl Malden is such a wonderful actor. He makes roles so believable. After watching this movie check out the details of the Chowchilla, California kidnappings in 1976. It’s a fascinating story and there are so many details this movie didn’t have time to include. Great movie! 👀 Watch it! 10/10

Oh wow the love Salih has for these children is awesome, his children are so blessed to have such a fantastic daddy I love this family they are like my own ❤❤❤❤❤

What wicked men poor kids and Edward a true American hero god bless you all 🙏

[@thomasbaldwin5209]

All three of the boys were sentenced to life in prison now eligible for parole, they should stay in prison for what they did

[@jenniferk.7023]

All three have been released. James Woods is the worst one, a complete sociopath. The California governor Newsome got him released. His father, Judge Newsome, worked years to get them all released. What a joke.

[@jenniferk.7023]

All three have been paroled already.

[@ann-mariebaker118]

They should never see the light of day again.

Sounds like my Father-in-law, he was giving everything too and then some..he carry's on like he made it all as well...the preaching after 45 plus years to his Son is maddening..well I gave you this, and that..

[@joestefanson6947]

I'm watching this to understand my schools kidnapping, Dairyland Elementary

[@luciaalmanza8801]

Excellent Movie, Great ending

[@brendafoster4712]

The kids were buried about a mile from my parent's home and where I grew up in the Livermore rock quarry located between Livermore and Pleasanton and were found near Shadow Cliffs Regional Park, which was very new (my hubby and I had a big BBQ after our wedding at Shadow Cliffs shortly before all this happened. I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@gartjone1846]

I drive a school bus in a town in NSW Australia. Kids are awsome. I say "the innocence of kids with a twist of genius " 😁❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@reinatycoon3644]

This was a good film. I remember watching this as a kid back in 1998 at 10 years old while having a Red Baron Pepperoni Pizza, Orange Big Fizz soda for dinner and banana splits for desert.

[@KelaWorthy1dsp]

good memories huh

[@flashgordon6670]

A disturbing, shocking and harrowing story. The film was fairly well made for its time, PG friendly and no actual violence, or any swearing. I didn’t even notice though until the end. But a little bit basic, for the magnitude of the story and today’s audience. Well worth remaking with more of the story’s details. 8.8/10 The way they escaped was too easy imo and the kidnappers were ridiculously stupid. I’m sure the real life story is more serious and frightening. Personally, I would’ve tried escaping by digging out where the air con pipe was. I would naturally assume that the kidnappers sealed the entrance more properly. I would’ve made a hole big enough to squeeze some boys through and send them off to get help. Then try enlarging the hole to get the teenager through, to unseal the entrance from above. I’m not sure that would’ve worked, or gotten everyone killed?

[@SunShineLady-d4r]

Good movie. Sadly 😢God was totally left out of the equation when He is the one who did all the breakthrough, yet He was totally ignored!😢😢😢

[@sheiladesoysa7112]

Movie was very well done. Felt very sad for Ed and the kids. What a traumatic experience for them and the families.

[@ganeshiyacharran7967]

[@susmitaj4106]

Damn good movie thanks for uploading

[@glittergrl71]

Pretty good movie 🍿

[@raquelrodriguez7111]

Even though what James,and his brother Richard did was wrong, they still did the right thing by turning themselves into the police, and took responsibility for what they did. So, may God forgive them, and have mercy on there souls, please, Amen ✝️🙏🏼🫱🏽‍🫲🏻🫂.

Gosh! I just Googled Chowchilla Kidnapping. How evil.😢

[@YvonneNonYa]

I really hope the parents apologized to the bus driver when he did everything he could to protect them against gun men and get them all out safe and alive. If it werent for him and thst teenage boy and the one who didnt put enough weight they could of died really fast with no oxygen and lack of food and water. Sorry if my comment ruins the movie.

[@cathyt144]

They should have gotten LWOP in solitary confinement.

[@MelDally]

This is shocking and sad true crime story. Evil bastards hijacked busload of children and driver and bury them alive to get ransom. The bus driver and older teenage boy plot escape for him and children. Thank God driver and children are safe and reunited with their family again. The bus driver and older teenage boy are heroes.I glad this true crime story had a happy ending. They court criminals who hijacked the bus and they were lock up in prison for life. The poor driver and children are traumized they need therapy. They deserve to live in peace finally.✌️😢

And what does it mean to be a man of a house

[@tracykimber729]

Back not long ago the man of the house was the person who kept everybody in it safe. Somebody broke in the Man house showed up with a gun in back them out the door. The bad storm was coming in he would be the one in charge to get everybody to safety. Children in those days weren’t as sick and fragile as they are now so it was common for the oldest to take over if the father had to leave. Today’s society is so crazy and broken nobody safe anymore. I truly don’t think that most men in this country could be the man of the house until at least they were over 25 maybe 30 at this point as the Society is totally screwed and made a bunch of weak Incapable men. The teenager manned up to control the situation in this movie save those children.

[@donnahuss1175]

While that bro. is really brain dead afraid of making that freak mad

[@Nothemomma904]

This really happened

26 children were about to be buried alive by evil men, I know 20,000 similar children who were buried and died under rubble and sill under the rubble in Gaza by similar evil men!

Should have got death sentence .

[@angloaust1575]

True or fiction did it actually Happen or is it exaggerated And fabricated!

[@catmom475]

Actually happened. Look up Chowchilla Kidnapping

[@angloaust1575]

Vanished without a trace was a misleading title They all escaped and were reunited with their families!

[@martamariotto1181]

The whole rest of their life in prison seems a little too much... Especially for the one who didn't even agree to do anything. Probably for the evil one that's good.

[@jessicamarydubois4370]

If it hadn't been for the driver and Jim 27 people could have died!!! No....would have died, the fan stopped working just as they found a glimmer of light and the guy who was less enthusiastic and had more empathy is still just as guilty...he knew what they were doing and he did nothing to stop them..

[@flashgordon6670]

Oh thanks for giving the story away you filthy hypocrite!

All of them have been paroled, and it's wrong. James Woods is a sociopath!
