A proposito di questo titolo

In 1994, 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay vanished from San Antonio, Texas, never to be seen again. Three years later, a young man claiming to be Nicholas resurfaced in Spain, but something wasn’t right. His accent was wrong. His appearance had changed. And the truth was far more disturbing than anyone imagined.

3 years after I last covered it, I'm revisiting one of the most baffling missing persons cases I have ever come across, with a conman whose lies buried the mystery of what happened to a young teenager even further into obscurity.

If you have any information on the disappearance of Nicholas Barclay, please contact the San Antonio Police at 210-207-7484
