Six weeks later, Jeannette’s remains were discovered when a neighborhood dog returned to its owner at a newly built apartment complex, carrying Jeannette’s badly decomposed arm in its mouth. The news of Jeannette’s death spread quickly around the small town and the rumors about the circumstances were not far behind. According to witnesses, the girl’s body was surrounded by occult symbols and objects, and within a few weeks news outlets began reporting that Jeannette had been the victim of ritual human sacrifice.  For more than five decades, the murder of Jeannette DePalma had fascinated New Jersey residents and has even captured the attention of news outlets from around the country and occasionally around the world. Yet the more coverage the case receives, the more the rumors of occult murder and Satanism seem to grow, obscuring the more relevant facts and the tragedy at the heart of the case.

In the summer of 1912, the Dunbar family took a trip to Swayze Lake in St. Landry Parish, where Bobby wandered off and disappeared. The boy’s disappearance was followed by an eight-month search across the American south, until Bobby was ostensibly found in the company of William Walters, a handyman traveling through the Mississippi. Bobby’s parents were elated to have their son back after such a long absence, but the problem was, very few people seem convinced that the boy was in fact Bobby Dunbar. After extensive news coverage of the search, Walters’ trial for kidnapping, and the joyful return of Bobby to his family, interest in the case began to fade, but for the Dunbar family, questions remained about Bobby’s identity. Had the Dunbars, in their desperation to find their son, unintentionally kidnapped someone else’s child?  Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!

After his arrest, investigators would learn that, by the time he appeared on the game show, he was also a killer. In the year that followed, Alcala would go on to murder several other women until he was finally caught and convicted for his crimes. At his trial, Rodney Alcala was found guilty of eight murders, among other crimes, but he is suspected of several other murders, perhaps as many as one hundred or more.

Six weeks later, Jeannette’s remains were discovered when a neighborhood dog returned to its owner at a newly built apartment complex, carrying Jeannette’s badly decomposed arm in its mouth.\n\nThe news of Jeannette’s death spread quickly around the small town and the rumors about the circumstances were not far behind. According to witnesses, the girl’s body was surrounded by occult symbols and objects, and within a few weeks news outlets began reporting that Jeannette had been the victim of ritual human sacrifice. \n\nFor more than five decades, the murder of Jeannette DePalma had fascinated New Jersey residents and has even captured the attention of news outlets from around the country and occasionally around the world. Yet the more coverage the case receives, the more the rumors of occult murder and Satanism seem to grow, obscuring the more relevant facts and the tragedy at the heart of the case.\n\nThank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!\n\nReferences\n\nAssociated Press. 1972. \"Police probe death of girl.\" Asbury Park Press, October 3: 11.\n\n—. 1972. \"Witchcraft seen possible in teen-age girl's death.\" Central New Jersey Home News, September 30: 3.\n\n—. 1972. \"Was girl black magic victim?\" Courier-News (Brunswick, NJ), September 30: 1.\n\nBurks, Edward. 1971. \"'Satan cult' death, drugs jolt peaceful Vineland, N.J.\" New York Times, July 6: 35.\n\nChadwick, Bruce. 1972. \"Priest's theory: devil's disciples killed girl.\" Daily News (New York, NY), October 4: 399.\n\nHughes, Sarah A. 2021.

In the year that followed, Alcala would go on to murder several other women until he was finally caught and convicted for his crimes.

The boy’s disappearance was followed by an eight-month search across the American south, until Bobby was ostensibly found in the company of William Walters, a handyman traveling through the Mississippi. Bobby’s parents were elated to have their son back after such a long absence, but the problem was, very few people seem convinced that the boy was in fact Bobby Dunbar.\n\nAfter extensive news coverage of the search, Walters’ trial for kidnapping, and the joyful return of Bobby to his family, interest in the case began to fade, but for the Dunbar family, questions remained about Bobby’s identity. Had the Dunbars, in their desperation to find their son, unintentionally kidnapped someone else’s child? \n\nThank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!\n\nReferences\n\nCrowley Post-Signal. 1913. \"Charges fell to ground.\" Crowley Post-Signal , April 11: 5.\n\nDaily Advertiser. 1914. \"Walters' trial at Opelousas.\" Daild Advertiser (Lafayette, LA), April 21: 1.\n\n—. 1914. \"Supreme court frees Walters.\" Daily Advertiser (Lafayette, LA), June 30: 1.\n\nMcThenia, Tal, and Ira Glass. 2008. \"The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar.\" This American Life.
