352: The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar

Prologue

Ira Glass plays the song "Mystery of the Dunbar's Child" by Richard "Rabbit" Brown. It describes Bobby Dunbar's disappearance and recovery and the trial of his kidnapper, all of which was front page news from 1912 to 1914.

And a lot more troubling. (1 minute)
