About this listen

When a missing Texas teenager miraculously reappeared in Spain three years after vanishing, his family thought their prayers had been answered. But the boy who came home wasn’t Nicholas Barclay. He was Frédéric Bourdin — a 23-year-old French conman who had stolen a child’s identity, a family’s hope, and the world’s belief in miracles. This chilling story unravels one of the strangest deceptions in true-crime history, exposing how grief and love can blind even the sharpest eyes.
