In 1912, the Dunbar family went on a lake trip to Louisiana. While on the trip, their son Bobby disappeared. An 8 month search for the boy began.

In 1913, a repair recognized the son of a woman we was doing work for as matching the description of Bobby Dunbar. The authorities were called and took Bruce Anderson, son of Julia Anderson, to the Dunbars. The Lessie Dunbar identified the boy as her son and the police looked no further. The Dunbars were rich and Anderson was not.

Julia fought in court and lost, but was able to restart her life, get married and have more kids.

In 2004, it was proven by DNA testing that Bruce was not the real Bobby, who is now believed to have been eating by alligators.

The 12 Tribes is yet another cult that grew up in America in the 1970s. They are, as could be expected, based on Christianity (for the purposes of cults like this, this means the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation). They believe that all over sects are actively trying to prevent the second of coming of Jesus (whom they call Yashua). The 12 Tribes is trying to bring him back by reconstructing the 12 Tribes of Israel (hence the name).

Despite focusing mostly on the Old Testament, they believe the Jewish people are evil for their part of in the death of Jesus. They have been investigated for breaking child labor laws and their homeschooling practices. They have also attracted the attention of cult-deprograming groups.

The 12 Tribes still exists today. They run the Yellow Deli chain. If you've eaten there, you've had a Cult Happy Meal.
