Three Years Later
It has already been three years since Nicholas Barclay disappeared but somehow his mother convinced herself that he will return. On a normal day, American law enforcement officials got a call from the Spain law authority. They told the American officials about the missing teen, which resembled Nicholas Barclay. How can they be so sure? But still, this news was a big break in cracking the case. The law officials were still skeptic about the whole event. They wanted to be sure about the whole thing and before telling the family they decided to take a look at the news.
Is He For Real?
From what the Spain authority had explained, a boy who appeared to be 16, exactly the same age Nicholas would have been. They told that he was found lost and scared hidden in a phone box in a nearby village. Though he was brought to a youth shelter, it seemed he’d been through a lot and something was not right with him. But still, something was missing and the American officials couldn’t get their hands on it. Their instincts were speaking a different tone entirely. They had to be sure. They just can’t ignore the news anymore. It was about time but not for long. The family, neighbors and the whole authority was about to get shocked by everything that happened after this.
A Harrowing Tale
The horrifying story of Nicholas getting kidnapped from childhood neighborhood and how he was brought to Europe where he was abused by a human trafficking ring before he successfully escaped the captivity and fled to safety. The authorities from both the sides were in shock to hear that, all of this happened to a 13-year-old innocent kid who never asked for anything like this to happen.
Notifying The Family
The authorities didn’t want to waste any more time thinking about it and they disclosed the news to the family. They told them everything they got to know from the Spanish authority. The whole family was in tears and with each second their excitement kept growing. They just wanted Nicholas to came back to them. They miss him so much. But as emotions ran no one was ready for what would come all along.
Bond For Her Brother
The family didn’t have a lot of extra money, so they decided that Nicholas Barclay’s sister, Carey Gibson, would go to make sure that if he was really their Nicky. Carey has never flown before, but her company where she works generously gave her the plane ticket to Spain. When she landed in Spain airport, Carey saw a boy who was wrapped in a scarf and baseball hat. She just ran towards him to hug her lost brother, and confirmed, that he was indeed her brother. Little they knew, this reunion would take a very surprising turn.
Heading Home
At last, he was home. All Barclay’s family, except Jason, excitedly welcomed him back with open arms. He was shown his room which was kept the same as he’d left it when he disappeared. At first, the returned Nicholas was timid and quiet all the time and the family realized that his memory wasn’t entirely on point, but it was fair as he’d gone through a lot. This incredible reunion of a lost son made headlines around the world but as the family began to come back to normal, outsiders started noticing that something didn’t seem right.
