On Friday February 12th, 1993 little two-year-old James Bulger and his mother Denise went to the New Strand Shopping Center in Bootle, England to do some shopping. They were there for a short time before Denise decided to go into the butcher shop to purchase some meat. She held James’ hand the entire time until it was time to purchase her chops, as Denise let go of his hand James wondered off and seemingly vanished within seconds. Denise would not have answers about what happened to her son until days later.
