Searching for Bobby Dunbar
Authorities and locals looked everywhere they could for Bobby Dunbar. Each lead and clue they came across was carefully followed up on, but everything led to a dead end, and nothing came out of the search. Many people began to lose hope. Percy Dunbar even went as far as to offer a generous reward of $1,000 for anyone who could find his son.

In 1912, that sum was the equivalent of what would now be $25,000. The rest of the town pitched in with an additional $5,000 – about $125,000 today. Time passed, and even the family itself was starting to give up. Then one miraculous day, authorities came to the Dunbars with the news they had been hoping for so desperately.
