Some of them become more known. Yeah. But then there's still a mystery at the end. That's kind of fun. I am sorry to say that I'm going to leave you slightly, slightly open to some things, but there's going to be a couple of things that you're like, whoa.

Yeah, they did. You're right. Shout out to Karen in Georgia. Shout out to Karen in Georgia. This is The Disappearance of Bobby Dunbar. Now, again, normally I don't love to do children's cases because it bums me out a lot. This one's bummed me out for sure. But there was so much like shenanigans in this case that it felt like an important story to tell. Yeah. For sure.

So this goes all the way back to 1912. Whoa. Yeah. We're really back there. Whoa. On August 23rd, 1912, Percy and Lessie Dunbar traveled with their two sons, Alonzo and Bobby. They had lived in Opelousas. I looked it up how to say it. I hope I said it correctly. Opelousas, Louisiana. They were traveling to a nearby Swayze Lake. There you go.

They had planned to spend the day there, do some fishing, some camping, just a nice little family outing. That night, the family was sleeping in their tent and their four-year-old Bobby apparently woke up and left the tent for some unknown reason.

uh apparently he wandered away from the campsite but nobody saw him do this this is just assuming because he wasn't there yeah um the next morning when lessee and percy woke up they found bobby missing which i literally can't imagine what they felt in that moment but waking up to find your kid missing must be in the wilderness yeah fuck that so they of course they panicked and started frantically searching the area around the tent for him

Now at the time, Swayze Lake was really more of an undeveloped swamp than an actual recreation area. It was, according to author Tal Macthenia, I hope I'm saying that name right, It was apparently, quote, teeming with alligators and surrounded by dark, thick woods. So not great. So their search was going to be very dangerous and very slow and very difficult. All of the above.

And when they weren't able to find Bobby very quickly, Percy went into town to get help. And within hours, there were dozens of men that had arrived at the lake to help search for Bobby. By that night, about 150 men had joined the search party, including a group of divers who searched the lake. Wow. Which, again, was more of a swamp. It was more of a swamp. With fucking alligators. Oh, my God.

Yeah. And these are divers that they got in here in 1912. That's crazy. Now, unfortunately, because the terrain was so hard to maneuver and it was so dense, so thickly settled, it was super, super slow, this process of looking for him. According to one account, quote, the cane breaks and undergrowth at Swayze Lake are so thick that it's impossible to see 10 feet from the trail. Wow.
