The Mysterious Disappearance of Bobby Dunbar |

On August 23, 1912, 4-year-old Bobby Dunbar vanished while on a camping trip near Swayze Lake, Louisiana (via All That's Interesting). According to History 101, Dunbar was the son of Percy and Lessie Dunbar from Opelousas. He was born in 1908 and had a younger brother (per History by Day). The family had decided to take a trip to the lake to escape the oppressive Louisiana heat. However, as "This American Life" explains, the lake was full of alligators and has been described as swamp-like. That night, Dunbar left his parent's side and disappeared into the darkness, marking the beginning of a mystery that would last for decades.
