Mystery of Bobby Dunbar
4 year old Bobby Dunbar disappeared on a family fishing trip. He was found 8 months later under the custody of a man named William Cantwell. While Cantwell readily admitted that he wasn’t the boy’s father, he claimed that he knew the boy’s mother and that this boy was named Charles Bruce-Anderson (Bruce for short). Cantwell claimed to have the mother’s permission to travel with the boy.
Investigators didn’t buy his story and took the boy to reunite him with the Dunbars. Complications arose almost immediately. Some people say that the boy yelled “mother” and ran towards Lessie Dunbar while others say the child was frightened and Lessie seemed to doubt whether he was her child. The next day the family claimed to have found familiar molds and markings on the boy’s body and that this boy was in fact theirs.
Julia Anderson, a woman from North Carolina, claimed that the boy was named Bruce and that he was her son. Authorites paid her no mind and sent her back. Cantwell was charged with kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison.
In 2006, DNA testing(Bob Dunbar Jr. participated in a DNA test with his cousin) confirmed that the boy the police “found” was not biologically related to the Dunbars.
