After years of mysterious disappearance, a case that seemed hopeless took a surprising turn when a lost boy in Spain claimed to be an American teenager named Nicholas Barkley. The Spanish police, initially contacted by what they believed were concerned tourists, were shocked when the boy couldn’t remember his own name or where he was from.
It wasn’t until a call from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that the possibility of the boy being Nicholas Barkley was raised. However, the shocking truth soon came to light – the boy was not Nicholas Barkley at all, but a 23-year-old French man named Frederick Borden.
As a highly detailed crime investigator, I cannot help but wonder about the circumstances that led to Frederick assuming the identity of a missing American teenager. What led him to deceive authorities and the Barkley family for so long? This case of international deception brings a new level of complexity to the already baffling world of missing children investigations. The web of lies and deception surrounding this case may hold the key to unlocking the truth behind Nicholas Barkley’s disappearance.

I know the story and it's not even the half of it
@mario-qi3yw
That’s so cruel for Nicks parents.
@coolgirl-ug9gq
Insane
@betsybalchbarker
Why don’t they put the whole story here. Why do we have to research your story to find out what happened? Am I just being a b?
@stephanieperri5012
The ears are a dead giveaway. Ears are like fingerprints. You can tell by going back & 4th from the pics of Nicholas & Frederick…those ears aren't even close to the same

"They are usually found, or not at all" this girl has fried her brain
@judithl.morton9178
She was really scary and yes I saw something just like this on a television program where the young man just wanted a home he wouldn't this old but he wanted a home and so he after years of being abandoned or something he pretended he was that boy do you know they still loved him at the end even when they found out he wasn't the person they thought he was😢
@wiipartymusic
so missing children are found dead or not found at all.. got it
@janetjohnson7279
😱😱
@hollyfabiani
This was a documentary.
@jennid8958
This case is so crazy. When I saw it awhile back I was just sickened and confused as to how the family didn't know that this guy wasn't their son. I realized though that I think they knew all along and for some reason went along with it.
@paulrivers7248
I was gonna say he looks older than 15 lol then you said 23 thats more like it… 😂
@savannahellis8888
This is such a crazy case!!!! I can't fathom not knowing that this child isn't my child…..
@tasha4052
What the heck!? 😮
@bobbiefrank5043
This grown man exploited a family's grief
@Lacteagalaxia
Tourists in Spain how odd lol 🤣
@80sKitty
This case is insane and the family of Nicholas are sketchy as hell.
@Sandra-oh4qp
That poor family must have gotten their hopes up. Why would anyone do that
@amybeth4252
This case is just terrible
@kellimcfarland7686
That is not that boy we all know that that was not very nice that what he did to that family
@cyndit9208
No, he is not Nicholas. Never was and they know it in my opinion. So freaking horrendous what this family did to make everyone believe he was still alive. I truly believe he died the night he was at the basketball court and in my opinion I believe his family knows it.
@FrancesandLucas
This sounds just like the movie ‘Orphan First Kill’.
@Jhuanda-eo2ck
23? More 43, divorced,in debt,
with 3 kids 😂
@breasimmons6689
Jason knew. The whole family knew. They took advantage of the situation to cover for what Jason did.
@Codered810
Why would someone do that to a family? Meanwhile the family stops looking for their loved one. How awful!
@rosearellanes5648
My heart breaks for this family. How evil does someone have to be to tell this lie!!
@londonsage8696
I watch this whole video and I would know right away if my child showed up three years later and just looking at him they should’ve known that wasn’t Nicholas. His eyes were brown he had a 5 o’clock shadow a French accent. Come on now some people speculate that the other brother Jason killed Nicholas because they didn’t get along but who knows? But this idiot is known to have done this I think 500 times? impersonating people especially kids so he has some real issues.
@cheryl4823
Omg what a terrible thing to do
@debramiller3548
😭😭😭😭
@TheReachAroundProject
He could certainly be Alex Minassin..the Incel assassin who drove a van over a bunch of people in Toronto a while back..👀
@gailwagner8115
Dna DNA..
@ireniaks
I just listened to an episode about this and my god its fucked up. Everybody knew but everybody had something to hide and used this/him to cover for themselves. I know that you know that I know kind of deal. It's extremely uncomfortable and just weird.
@ashwiseclev
I think his brother killed him. Thats why he was never reported missing. They knew this wasn't Nick, but with this guy saying he is, there isn't any investigation.
@JP-nm6fw
This case is horrific this dude doesn’t even look 16 years old in one of his pictures he looks pure evil!! Thanks Annie your awesome!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
@aprilstar3572
What a awful lie to tell 😢
