100% what happened. this case in my eyes is open and shut. its extremely clear the boy had a horrible life... his mother was a bad parent... the dunbars were going INSANE over losing their boy and HAD to believe a lie in order to have any sense of sanity. this story is incredibly messed up. no parent would EVER misidentify their own child. i dont care how much time has passed.... a mother who really loved their child would never not be able to telll. people have manuerisms too not just an appearance. i dont really care about the other woman she seemed ike an unfit mother if she couldnt identify her own child... glad the boy ended up finding a loving family... even tho the dunbars are literally frickin insane.

Idk, she seems like she was unfit to be a parent either because she didn't care, or honestly was so gullible and unaware she allowed her child to go off with a strange man alone.

You also have to remember that this was a very different time. A four year old today is not like a four year old back then. People didn't baby kids, even toddlers, as much as they do today.

You have to consider that the boy in question was only 4 years old, and was up until that point, living a rather traumatizing life (at the very least, being carted around by a man who kidnapped him from his mother, and being beaten). The boy's inability to recognize his own mother isn't that shocking at that age. So, he probably truly didn't know who his family was. This does have a pseudo happy ending, though - a boy who was being mistreated got taken in by a family who desperately wanted him.

I missed the timeline a bit. How much time passed since Bobby was lost, until Bobby/Bruce was brought to his mother and brothers? On the other side, if Julia allowed her son to go with his uncle for a couple of days and didn't see him again until 15 months later, 4 y.o. children can change a lot in that time. I'm not saying to the point of being unrecognizable but I partially understand Julia's not being sure at the start when she saw her son again. But seems like Bobby's time being dissapeared was shorter? I lost that part. Horrible, anyway. But the comments are hilarious 😆

This is also happening in 1912-1913. They only had very few low quality photos during those times. It's not like now where we're bombarded with photographic memories that help us . After eight (or fifteen) months of hard travel a four year-old would have grown and his physical appearance would've have changed substantially, it would've been enough to make it so a parent who's entire relationship with their son through those months is a photo can mistake a child who looks essentially like his twin for their son.

My guess? Somewhat grizzly so don't keep reading if triggered. They found footprints leading to the train track. kids like playing on tracks.

Parts eaten by carrion animals and any (for want of a less blunt way of putting it) 'residue' on the train could easily be shrugged off as a small animal due to his size.

There was a fact not taken into consideration here. Julia Anderson hadn't seen her son in 15 months they said, making him what? 3 years old give or take? That could explain why he showed zero reaction to either woman, to add with the being brainwashed and abused. He could have been easily swayed to believe something that wasn't true. The age in which he went missing and the length of time he was gone could be why Julia wasn't able to positively identify him right away as well.

Can we all take a moment to think of even if Bobby was killed by an animal or kidnaped, how could that even happen? He was with his adult friend (Paul if I recall) and few other children, and he just vanished. If an animal got him he would start screaming, the animal would make a sound, others would notice it. Same if he fell into the water, everyone would hear a splash. If he was kidnapped, someone would have to notice or hear kidnapper or Bobby. Only reasonable explaination would be that Bobby wondered away from the group and then afterwards kidnapped or killed by an animal. But it still doesn’t make sense how ANY of the kids nor Paul noticed Bobby was missing, it was few kids it’s not like it was a kindergarten right? And they noticed he was missing as soon as they got to the vacation house. It could have been like 10-15 mins max, and yet no sounds or noise from Bobby or anything else in the forest. Very bizzare and after quite a while of thinking the possibilities I can’t imagine what could possibly happen to the boy in such a short period with no evidence or noise.

And for not seeing your son for 15 months at his age, the child would have changed a lot, face wise, height, everything, size, especially if a person did kidnap you or take care of you in a different way the mother would.

It's worth remembering the mother was under intense pressure from the rest of the family, the public, and the media at the time. She'd been suffering from intense stress since her son went missing.

I find it pretty crazy that one family went on thinking that they were reunited with there lost family member while the other family went on thinking that there family member was kidnapped.
@morfy2581 4 місяці тому
No. One family thought they found their boy while the other thought the same but that the other family was claimed him - which is so messed up, because no matter who would have managed to keep the boy, no one would have looked for the other missing child.

@MultiTopgearfan 5 років тому
The boy knew he was Bruce Anderson but realised that being Bobby Dunbar meant a better life. He was showered with gifts and affection, something he never got under his mother Julia. It was a happy ending for a boy who went on to live a happy life under a false identity which he would never have gotten if he continued as Bruce Anderson. He knew that, which is why he refused to give a clear answer when asked by his son about his true identity.

@Lorelei98 5 років тому

@annacastro2855 5 років тому
I was thinking that but it seems as thought the group of kids was with Paul the whole time. Plus, if he murdered Bobby, what would he have done with the body so quickly that avoided it being discovered by one of the 500 men who aided in the search? If he kidnapped Bobby, where did he put him while he was with all of these people in the search party for days and weeks?
@Lorelei98 5 років тому
Let's toss in an accidental death theory while we're at it then. Maybe he didn't want to confess or whatever, so he made up the part where, when they were heading back, he was joking with Bobby/"Heavy". It could help throw suspicion off of him since it sounds like something Bobby would say, since he "knew him so well". Why did the kids not say anything? Who knows? Any other theories out there? (I'm not saying I believe this one over the others, but I wanted to add it and perhaps expand on it later.)

I thought that was strange, too. It just doesn't fit reality, when you imagine being in the situation. I find it odd the other kids have nothing to say as well. In any situation, some trace of him or a struggle would have been found. Unless he was already gone and cleaned up after before they packed up and went back home.
@cici485 5 років тому
Okay I have a theory. After the disappearance of Bobby Dunbar, his mother couldn’t accept his disappearance, looking for any possible lead they could find. Once she got word that there was a boy that matched her sons description she was desperate enough to believe it truly was her son. Her husband and the rest of the family watching her crumble apart due to the loss of her son, agreed with her and went along with her belief. Bobby aka Bruce was whipped by his uncle and would obviously want to escape from that, and the Dunbar’s could have been the perfect escape from his abusive uncle and poor mother so he went along with whatever they said seeing as they were spoiling him and showering him in affection, something he hadn’t previously been receiving.

They were also well-off, which makes me think that she was probably sensitive and dramatic to begin with. Notice how the “coarse country woman” who’s lost all of her children wasn’t reported as fainting once. Could have also been part of the biased narrative to make Mrs Dunbar seem more sincere, and to make Anderson seem more callous.

@truckie0710 5 років тому
I feel bad for both mothers, regardless of what the real truth is, one mother would still be missing a child. I feel sorry for Julia because of people judging her that she can't even recognize her son. She was stressed, pressured into thinking that it was not her son, i feel like she doubted her own thinking. I feel sad for Lessie because if the boy was not really Bobby, because of trauma from the loss, her mind conditioned itself that it was her own son. I also felt that the boy, young as he was, he was overwhelmed with the things he was receiving.
