Summary

Welcome back to this week’s episode of SERIALously! In today’s episode, we are going to discuss a case that’s truly unbelievable. Think about the last time you got an emergency alert for an Amber Alert on your phone. The amount of children that go missing every day in the United States is staggering and often leads to terrible outcomes. But what about the children that are found? What are their lives like when they return home? Does it matter if they've been gone a day? A week? A month? A year? Several Years? Most of the time, we only hear about the return of missing children in high-profile missing persons cases like Elizabeth Smart. But what happens when a family that never got media attention and eventually never expected their loved one to return finally turns up? What if they weren't the most picture-perfect family to begin with? What is it like then? Nicholas Patrick Barclay was only 13 years old when he went missing in San Antonio, Texas, and the events that unfolded in the aftermath of his disappearance are unlike any other case you have heard before.
