When 13 year old Nicholas Barclay reappeared after vanishing three years earlier, his family welcomed him home with open arms, despite his new accent, eye color, and strange behavior. But private investigator Charlie Parker wasn’t buying it. In this second part of the Nicholas Barclay case, the truth finally unravels: who was the man pretending to be Nicholas, and why did the family insist he was their missing son? What comes next is a wild tale of deception, grief, and one of the most notorious con artists the world has ever seen.
