The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar Audio Post 3

My listening experience was a little confusing, at some times I got confused which family was talking. Anyways, This was a really strange story. I have heard of the movie Changeling that Rachel was talking about and seen a bit of the beginning of the movie and can see how the movie and the story about Bobby Dunbar is related. Anyways, the part of this audio recording that struck me the most has to be the DNA testing section. When I heard that the DNA results from "Bobby Dunbar" did not match with his brothers, it was kind of like a shocking thing. In the beginning I just assumed that Julia Anderson was totally nuts when she accused the Dunbars of kidnapping her child and everything and that perhaps she was just insanely jealous because her child was missing and you can only fathom what it must feel like for a mother to know that mher child is missing.... It was also very strange that even though the Dunbars claimed the kid that got returned to them was theirs they didn't even recognize him. I can't say I know for sure, but I'm like 98% sure that I WOULD NOT forget what my child looks like, especially since it was only an eight month long period of the child being missing. Perhaps The Dunbar mother was feeling the same thing about how her child was missing, she had missed him so much and that she just had to have this kid even if there was something a little off. Another thing that struck me is that the actual child that was being fought over didn't seem to have an opinion about who his true family was. I feel like if I was him, I would know that I didn't belong to which family or whatever, but the fact that the families had to take this to court was wierd, and also that the Dunbars wouldn't let him be interviewed is also a litttle fishy. I think I can understand not wanting to let your child, (if it really was their kid) to be interviewed after what was most likely a very traumatic event at such a young age maybe they were just being protective, but you never know. This is something wierd, but I do in the end agree that it was Julia's child.
