In 1997, a 16 year old boy was found a few hundred miles from Madrid, Spain. Police brought him to the station to determine his identity, and found that this boy supposedly disappeared from San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Three years prior to this person being found in Spain, a 13 year old disappeared and was reported missing by his family. His name was Nicholas Barclay. The Barclay family was overjoyed when they heard the news, although their joy was soon replaced with sadness.
Come with Tori and MyKenna as they share a silly filled beginning with what animal they resemble most, what happens to the Barclay family, and who the Spanish police really found.
Disclaimer: this is a serious episode, but delirious moments will occur since Tori and MyKenna recorded after school on a Friday following a LONG week back!
