Hey everyone! Starting next Wednesday (October 4th), all future Hidden Stories will be migrating to a new, separate channel for clarity and simplicity. All of the current stories will still remain up on this channel, but all new videos moving forward will be posted on the new "Hidden Stories" RU-vid channel here: www.youtube.com/@hiddenstoriesYT. If you want to continue keeping up with the weekly stories and my Hidden Stories series, subscribe to this new channel ✌

I feel like that kid Paul aka "heavy" kidnapped Bobby. The parents probably knew he wasn't the real Bobby, but couldn't bare the pain of losing a child. Since Bruce's mother didn't seem like a great mother( she let a man take away her son for a year and said nothing to the police) they probably gave that kid a better life. A very interesting story that would probably do a great movie.

@ryan2215 Год назад

except he showed up with his brother still and bobby was left behind probably to sadly trip into quicksand.

@ryan2215 Год назад

also legal matters like child custody costed money even back then that a single mother mother who worked all day as a farmer wouldnt be able to cover... seems like she stilled cared greatly and was deeply wounded to continue to grieve the rest of her life after marriage (ps lots of kids is completely normal for any farmers anywhere in the world)

@paulacandiloro2435 Год назад

the feeling I got was pride, like they knew he wasn't their son but didn't want to admit they were wrong and they got a lot of attention, which they probably just loved.

This reminds me of a story i have seen somewhere of a woman who was assaulted by a man. During the crime she tried her best to memorise his appearance as best as she could. She would be presented with a line up of victims and she insisted that one of the men was her attacker with absolute certainty. The innocent man was thrown in jail and may have stayed for life but eventually he was released after the real criminal was identified.

@janemiettinen5176 Год назад

@shenzixirgs8152 Год назад

I think maybe Bobby Dunbar kept away from the lakes out of fear of the alligators, then died of thirst/starvation. This could explain why his body wasn’t found, since he could have travelled many kilometres before dying.

I have come to realize that with family the truth often puts you in prison rather than setting you free. A friend was ostracized for finding out that his family used to own slaves.

You’re not preachy (thank goodness) but focusing on the good comes through even in talking about these bizarre stories. Stay true to yourself. It’s refreshing and a gift more important than your stories.

Lot of caves, holes, etc dot all over the south. Be easy to fall into and never be found. Great story.

@juliestrickland7754 Год назад

Well, if he was in the lake, setting off dynamite might not have been the best idea to find his body intact. Just sayin'.

@Xplayer007 Год назад

Amazing story! I couldn't imagine a missing person story where someone is both lost and found. The simplest explanation as to Bobby's whereabouts is some combination of the lake and animals. I'd guess he fell into the lake, drowned, and was dragged by a crocodile far away from the lake. The lake is very small (more like a wide part of the a creek), so I doubt that they missed him if he was still in the lake, but in the hours between when they were searching on land and started looking in the water an animal could have taken him miles from their search location. " When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

You're probably right, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out the Dunbars wanted Bobby back so much they convinced themselves Bruce was actually Bobby, and so they never had doubts as a result.

I believe bobby may of been swallowed by a sinkhole then suffocated, that area is not know for sinkholes but they have happened before which may of explained why no one suspected them, another option is that Paul was on drugs or something and killed bobby and hid him but then forgot about it. Yet another option may be that an alight or swallowed him then swam to a different river far away therefore was never disected. He also could of been kidnapped by someone else.

I am someone who has been told lies by my family for so long that I have no idea what the actual truth is. It affects everything I do and I doubt everything, even things I have been present for. Margaret Dunbar is a freaking hero. "Leaving things in the past" should be your first clue that there is something wrong that needs to be rectified. You may not like the truth, but the lie could destroy the well-being of someone you care for. Is your temporary discomfort so much more important?

In those days the family name meant everything. If a daughter turned up pregnant out of wedlock, she was thrown out, to fend for herself. Looks like that's what happened to this boy's birth mother, causing her to labor in the fields and entrust his care to another. Family honor would also have played a huge role once he'd been claimed by his new family. In no way could they afford to go back on it once they had laid claim to another family's child. That was a done deal. So when his modern day descendant met such disapproval when she went digging up the past, that's why, and it's why the older members of the family still turn away. She exposed the family shame, and shamed the family name.

@leslieo5947 Год назад

@ehrichan6726 8 месяцев назад

I honestly feel bad for north families. They didn’t get their own children back. And I do believe Bobby’s death was covered up by the government of some sort. Cause I find it rather strange that Bobby’s family especially his siblings never questioned if it was actually him and why they accepted it him when it isn’t.
