Long Island Serial Killer (AKA Gilgo Beach Murderer) and the disappearance of Bobby Dunbar

That's a Bad Sign

In 1912, Percy and Lessie Dunbar took their sons on a camping trip, only to find that their son, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar, wandered away from the family’s tent and disappeared. After months of searching, the boy was found across the country with another man. While the family and town celebrated the boy's safe return, many people wondered.... was this actually Bobby Dunbar? Then we dive into the Long Island Serial Killer (AKA Gilgo Beach Murderer AKA Craigslist Killer). In 2010, 23-year-old Shannan Gilbert mysteriously disappeared from a gated community on the south shore of Long Island. While searching for Shannan, the police discovered 4 bodies... none of which were Shannan. While this case remains unsolved, we re-examine the top suspects. (7/19/2023: NOTE new suspect in Giglo Beach murders is Rex Heuermann).
