13yo Texas boy vanished without a trace – the ‘Nicholas’ who returns 3 years later is wanted by Interpol

In 1994 Texas teen, Nicholas Barclay, vanished after his older brother refused to give him a ride home from his basketball game. More than three years later his family were informed that he had been found in Madrid, Spain, and although there were some noticeable physical differences the family wholeheartedly believed this man was their Nicholas.

Upon the missing boy’s return, there were several noticeable changes including his eye color and accent. However, Nicholas blamed the differences on the supposed fact that he had been abused and tortured by a pedophile ring. It was enough for his family, who were happy to have their son back. Unfortunately for them, this wasn’t their son, it was an imposter, a con-man, and a criminal, who was wanted by Interpol.
