This Was the Strangest Missing Person Case in History | Hidden Stories

[@andyyjiang]

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" KZbin 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 ✌

DUDE this story had me hooked, I hope one day they find out what happened to him, I need that closure!!

[@Agentgreenblaze]

Ayyyyyy, I love your videos!

Dude I love you so much you’re video are so cool 😎

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]

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

[@ryan2215]

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]

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.

[@Dirnaldmabin354]

Bruh Paul isn’t heavy Bobby is heavy

[@codafett]

Yeah, Paul was 100% involved in Bobby's disappearance

[@nookscrossing7293]

I cant believe that these videos have a maximum view count of 23k. It's ridiculous, these are quite literally the best videos I've EVER watched on KZbin. I hope it changes soon. Don't get discouraged Andy, you're doing an amazing job.

[@andyyjiang]

this is really validating to hear 🥲 comments like yours really go a long way, thank you!

[@sutoramune]

Due to shorts completely demolishing our attention spans it might be difficult to get views on long form videos, nevertheless I hope this grows because the production quality, editing, and script is amazing in these! I really hope this gets bigger!

[@texas-roadhouse]

I love all your content especially your long form stories. I used to listen to other podcasts like this but you use so much emotion and energy to it. Keep it up

[@gemmalow6515]

I agree 💯 I have been wanting longer videos from him. And so glad to have them

[@mynamesak]

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.

[@Vanguard-II]

Dang

[@janemiettinen5176]

I think youre talking about Ronald Cotton, and the real assailant looked a lot like him. The story is even crazier: Ronald and the victim are friends today, they travel around US and tell their story together. Without DNA he would still be in jail..

[@mynamesak]

@@janemiettinen5176 yeah thats the one thanks! I remember that bit too. Lol being friends with the person who put you in jail is insane

[@rianamohamed300]

Yep, heard that one. And saw pics of the perps also. They looked very alike.

[@mtoingehs]

I think there was a video by Ted-ex about how people mermory isn’t that good and can affect people view of the criminal regardless of how much they look alike.

[@shenzixirgs8152]

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.

[@ZaronXYZ]

These videos deserve so much more views, the production quality is outstanding and your story telling capability and personality is unmatched. Love your videos man, and keep up the hard work

[@DodgerX]

Please never stop making long form videos. I just love your story telling.

[@exp-io853]

You know what makes this interesting apart from the story? It's how you deliver them! I'm so into it that i didn't realize it's almost the end. I really love real stories like this, it's that mystery we know that has a little chance to be discovered. Also i love the intro, I'm always ready to watch once the intro started. 😄

[@alexach.]

Andy, your storytelling skills are amazing. Absolutely loving your new content ❤❤❤

[@cab102361]

You are so very expressive when telling a story. You really get in to it. Love it.

[@kittykaht1944]

I watched a short and then this video. I'm very impressed with your storytelling. One of my kitties just passed away on Friday, (today's Sunday), and I appreciate that I have you to take my mind off my loss. Thank you Andy.

[@maddisonjones5206]

I find your setup very comforting. It’s very powerful, how you’ve matched the background with your clothing and sets a very welcome contrast to the sense of unreality you get when listening to your stories.

[@phredqwatson]

Andy, Thanks again. For the many stories yes, but more than that… Andy, you’re a good person. You resonate with the good and positive in people and that comes through. 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.

[@gemmalow6515]

Im sooo glad you started uploading longer form content! I am a huge fan of your shorts, so happy to see this video

[@kyleok8283]

I absolutely love this series, it's expressed in such a relaxing and perfect way to make me keep watching, please make more of this! :D

[@coolwatyr]

I wonder… if they did further comparisons, if they would find the real Bobby Dunbars children out in the world. Or… if they found unidentified children who had died in the area ~ that they might find Bobby’s resting place. Thank you Andy!

[@gregmeyer9595]

Awesome job today. The pacing was perfect and you nailed the tension and suspense. Looking forward to the next one.

[@bill254K]

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. Sad for her but I hope she doesn't regret revealing the truth. I am new here and like this MrBallen like format. Already subscribed.

[@JoceeVlogsYT]

I really can’t wait for a new hidden story it’s incredibly good and guaranteed on par with the 10’s of millions of view videos and despite the low views you have an amazing community and this is only the beginning of your story Andy! Earned a sub 🎉

[@Xplayer007]

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."

[@kittykaht1944]

[@juliestrickland7754]

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

[@sk___4206]

Some of the greatest content on KZbin.

[@kathykat367]

At my advanced age, lol...I have never remembered more than just a glimpse before I was 4 yrs old. I always told my mother, that kids under 4 would go with just anyone and think they were their parents all along. As for the disappearance, was it ever said where the guy was that took him fishing? Lot of caves, holes, etc dot all over the south. Be easy to fall into and never be found. Great story.

Thanks Andy. Man what crazy situation.

[@crdiamond225]

[@thts.my_voic]

What a great story, only if there were DNA testing back then. Even though Bobby Dunbar (aka Bruce Anderson) was given a better life, he had to of missed his real mom. Its good that the truth finally came out, even though it may have hurt some family members, i also would want to know the truth.

[@leslieo5947]

Wow! Thanks Andy 😊

[@janemiettinen5176]

Im sure the parents had doubts in the quiet moments at night, like who is he, is he really ours or did we take someone elses child.. I cant imagine living like that, year after year, selling myself on the idea I did the right thing!

[@beez1717]

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.

[@janemiettinen5176]

@@beez1717 I remember another case like this, but it was about a girl. There the parents wanted the girl to be theirs so much, they convinced themselves to believe she was theirs, even if she was missing some scars and moles.. Human mind is powerful. (The real daughters remains were found years later in a field, if I remember right, neighbor had killed her. The girls parents just refused to believe it was her, that was an option before DNA..)

Wow! That is a fantastic story and well told, to boot. It pulls at my imagination to think of what happened to the real Bobby Dunbar. I would be willing to bet that an alligator got him and then managed to escape being killed and cut open. I'm rally looking forward to your next strane story.

[@quietlioness6590]

Did Paul ever give a deathbed confession or at least more insight as to what happened during his declining years?

[@lizxu322]

The son of the poor Julia Anderson was raised by a rich couple and had all the luxuries and education a kid can hope for. i see this as an absolute win, knowing your child is well looked after (after all her earlier kids died within 1 year of birth??! Come on!!!)

[@quanage4296]

Yea but this led to an innocent man being sent to prison almost for life if it wasnt for a technicality and tarnished reputation of Julia for fighting to get her son back. Dohble edged sword really

[@sukuntee]

I heard about this story from somewhere else. Its trippy.

[@CleoHarperReturns]

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?

[@theproslo]

Alright so i looked up the story for 8 hours a day for 3 weeks now and i came up with a theory that i pretty much believe myself: Bobby saw something that caught his attention in the woods and he followed it getting lost and walking so far in the wrong direction took shelter in somthing like a cave but a huge hole and got stuck down there eventually starving to death and getting burried in the spot

[@TheKingOfTheEmeralds]

The moment you said they were at a fishing trip with family and friends I remembered the story because I already watched it

[@GoFigure1]

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.

[@ehrichan6726]

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.
