This is not a comfortable insight.

But it is a genuine one, and it is one of the things that makes the Barclay-Bourdin case worth revisiting.

The Final State Of Everything

Nicholas Barclay has been missing for more than thirty years.

He has never been found.

Frédéric Bourdin served six years in federal prison and was deported to France.

He is in his fifties and reportedly lives with his family in France.

He has given multiple interviews about the case over the years and has consistently presented a version of events that places at least partial responsibility on the Barclay family.
