The Strange Case of Nicholas Barclay: A Missing Boy and The Imposter Who Fooled the World
In 1994, 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay vanished without a trace from San Antonio, Texas. Three years later, a boy claiming to be Nicholas resurfaced in Spain — and his family welcomed him home. But what followed was one of the most shocking cases of deception in true crime history.
In this episode, we uncover Nicholas’s mysterious disappearance, the chilling impersonation by French con-artist Frédéric Bourdin, and the unanswered questions that haunt investigators to this day. Was Nicholas the victim of foul play, a runaway, or something darker?
Join us as we dive deep into the facts, the fraud, and the theories behind one of America’s most unsettling unsolved cases.
