Where Are the Children? (1986)

Seven years after a harrowing tragedy, Nancy Harmon, now living under a new identity in the quaint town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is about to have her past ripped open on her birthday. Once a San Francisco resident, Nancy was wrongfully accused and convicted for the horrifying murder of her two children, Peter and Lisa. The conviction, however, was overturned due to the disappearance of a key witness, but not before her husband, Carl, committed suicide. Now, she has rebuilt her life, married to a realtor named Ray Eldridge and mother to two new children, Michael and Missy. However, the peace of her new life shatters when she opens the local newspaper to find her picture and the gruesome details of her past laid bare. The nightmare intensifies when she can't find her children in their backyard, with only a single red mitten as a clue to their disappearance. The ghostly echo of her past tragedy sends her into a desperate pursuit to find Michael and Missy before they meet the same fate as Peter and Lisa. Local police chief Jed Coffin, influenced by the newspaper story, wrongfully suspects Nancy of being involved in the disappearance of her own children. As the town's suspicion mounts against her, the children's real captor, Courtney Parrish, lurks in the shadows. As the frantic search for Michael and Missy intensifies, shocking revelations about Parrish's true identity emerge, leading to a chilling question: Could he be the one who killed Peter and Lisa years ago? In this gripping tale of suspense, the lines between innocence and guilt blur, as a mother's love is tested against a backdrop of accusation and fear. With every passing moment, the race to unravel the truth becomes a desperate struggle for survival, making 'Where Are the Children?' a haunting exploration of loss, redemption, and the relentless grip of the past.
