A Case for Solomon: Bobby Dunbar and the Kidnapping That Haunted a Nation
Margaret Dunbar Cutright
THE MOST NOTORIOUS KIDNAPPING CASE IN AMERICAN HISTORY
In 1912, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar went missing in the Louisiana swamps. After an eight-month search that electrified the country and destroyed Bobby?s parents, the boy was found, filthy and hardly recognizable. A wandering piano tuner was arrested and charged with kidnapping? a crime then punishable by death.
But when a destitute single mother came forward from North Carolina to claim the boy as her son, not the lost Bobby Dunbar, the case became a high-pitched battle over custody?and identity?that divided the South. A gripping historical mystery, A Case for Solomon chronicles the epic century-long effort to unravel the startling truth.
