Terrifying & True | Bobby Dunbar: The Missing Child, Bruce Anderson & a DNA Revelation

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

Bobby Dunbar disappeared during a Louisiana fishing trip in 1912. Eight months later, his parents brought home a boy they believed was their son—but Julia Anderson said the child was hers, Bruce. Terrifying & True follows the search, the disputed identification, and the kidnapping case against William Cantwell Walters. Decades later, DNA testing challenged the reunion and supported Anderson’s claim. One family gained an answer while another mystery remained. If the boy raised as Bobby was Bruce Anderson, what happened to the four-year-old who vanished at Swayze Lake? We're telling that story tonight.
