## Resource

In 1912, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar vanished beside Louisiana’s Swayze Lake . After eight desperate months, a child was found hundreds of miles away with a travelling handyman — and the Dunbars swore he was their son. The story became a national sensation: a miracle return, a family reunited, faith rewarded. But ninety years later, a simple DNA test exposed one of America’s most haunting cases of mistaken identity. This episode follows the Dunbar mystery from the muddy bayous of Opelousas to a 21st-century laboratory — uncovering a century-old lie, a mother who was never believed, and the family legend that outlived them all.
