A CONVICTED child rapist and murderer could be linked to the disappearance of children from a boarding school once attended by Paris Hilton.
The 39-year-old reality star has opened up about her troubled youth in upcoming documentary “This Is Paris”, revealing she was subject to "abuse" as she went through several boarding schools when growing up.
This included the CEDU school in Running Springs, California in the mid 1990s.
But it has been revealed that investigators once looked into whether James Crummel - a rapist and murderer convicted of a string of offenses dating back to 1979 - was involved in the disappearance of at least two boys from the school.
Crummel lived with a Burnell Forgey, a Newport Beach psychiatrist, who was contracted to the CEDU school at the time.
During the time Crummel was visiting Forgey, who is now deceased, at least two kids disappeared.
The school closed in 2005 due to financial issues.
According to Page Six, in 2009 the California Department of Justice was looking into whether Crummel was responsible for the disappearances of children at the school.
But investigations ground to a halt after the killer hanged himself in 2012.
Crummel, 68, was found hanging in his death row cell in May that year at San Quentin State Prison.
Adam Eget, a former student at the school, told Page Six he had heard rumours that CEDU may have been a hunting ground for Crummel.
He said: “That’s also what we heard.
“They think a few kids there were murdered by Crummel.”

Eget told podcaster Joe Rogan about his experiences at what he called the “cult” in May.
He said that Hilton reached out to him shortly after the podcast aired.
This Is Paris will premiere on Monday, 14 September on Hilton’s YouTube channel.
