And Bobby returned home to Opelousas with Percy and Lessie in late April to much fanfare and excitement. The town, who again had fundraised to find this boy, had rallied around this family. They threw a huge parade with a big band to celebrate his return. William Walters was in custody now, so everyone was like, wow, this terrible story has a happy ending.

His kidnapper being brought to justice, and we have Bobby back. Every time they thought it was over, it wasn't, but now it was. And now it was, except it wasn't, because one woman is going to come into the picture and put a little bit of a doubt in everyone's mind. All right. Now...

In her statement to the authorities, Julia Andrews, remember, Bruce's mom, confirmed some of the details of Walter's story. Okay. While strongly refuting several of his claims. So it's getting weirder and weirder because now we have someone coming in and saying, oh, he's telling the truth a little bit. But there's also parts of this where he's lying out of his fucking face. Okay.

Yeah. So she said, and this is in the Times Democrat 1913, William Walters left Barnesville, North Carolina with my son, Charles Bruce, in February 1912, saying that he only wanted to take the child with him for a few days on a visit to the home of his sister. I have not seen the child from that day to this. I did not give him the child. I merely consented for him to take my son for a few days.

Now, according to Julia, she had known him. Like, this isn't some random guy that came and was just like, hey, can I take your son for a few days? And she was like, absolutely. Well, because she worked for his parents, right? Yeah, so she knew him. Yeah. And according to Julia, Bruce had taken a very strong liking to Walters. Her son had liked this man. Yeah, she's comfortable.

Like, just was like, this is going to be fine.

So when Walters failed to return with Bruce, Julia became very concerned, but she didn't really know where he had gone or how to get in touch with him because it's 1912 and she can't just like location share him or something. Like she's like, I don't know.

She's like, I can't. What do I do? She's like, hey, send me a ping. Yeah. Yeah, so she just waited, hoping that he was going to come back. Yeah. She said, I am willing to go anywhere to identify him on condition that my expenses be paid and that I be allowed to take my child away from Walters. I do not want him to have my child.
