After Nicholas Barclay went missing for nearly 3 years, the family was elated to hear that their son had been found safe in Spain, but the person they met halfway across the world was not their son, it was a con man. This week, Savannah explores the case of Nicholas Barclay, who has yet to be found to this day. A French man named Frédéric Pierre Bourdin lied his way into the Barclay home pretending to be their long-lost son, and even pretended to be other lost children after he had already been found out. But if Bourdin isn't Nicholas, what really happened to the young boy? Some believe he was taken by a stranger, but some investigators believe he was actually killed by his own family, allowing for Bourdin's con to go on much longer than necessary Don’t fall for subscription scams.
