It's possible he may need psychiatric help.

Settle in tonight

because we are about to share with you

a story so bizarre,

it's hard to believe it's true.

This is the tale of a master imposter

who managed to lie his way

into the United States

and prey upon

the most vulnerable of people.

He is the only person in US history

ever to have assumed

the identity of a missing child.

He fooled even the lost boy's mother.

It's hard to imagine

how he could have gotten away with it.

We knew it was going to be,

you know, heart-wrenching and...

you know...

but we never thought it wouldn't be him.

You know, why would you even think that?

The first feeling was complete sadness.

Because it wasn't Nicholas.

Which took us back to square one.

Where is Nicholas?

That was the first one.

The second emotion was,

how could I be so f***ing stupid?

I mean, seriously.

I contacted the SAPD,

the San Antonio Police Department,

and told them, decided to tell them,

that, hey, they killed him.

Based upon Frederic Bourdin's allegations,

a homicide investigation was opened

and the allegation

was against the family members

as being... participating in

the disappearance of the child.

It was related to us

that while Frederic was in jail

that he said that my mom confessed to him

that her and Jason

killed Nicholas and hid the body.

They accused me first

and it totally freaked me out.

Because I, I... have been crazy

but never violent.

This is the street the kid lived on

when he went missing.

There's the house right there.

I think the boy's buried here.

I want to talk to Darryl inside.

He's agreed to let me dig

and see if Nicholas Barclay's here.

If Beverly knew that this individual

was not her son,

then she had to have

some type of ulterior motive

and it had to be something very scary

for her to accept a stranger

into her household

posing as her own son.

I agreed to take a lie detector test.

She passed the polygraph.

And I said to the polygraph examiner,

"I don't understand this,

I don't understand it at all.

Will you give it to her again?"

So he gave it to her again

and she passed the polygraph.

I said, "No, there is something wrong."

The third time he gave it to her,

she flunked every question.

I mean, like, big-time.

The polygrapher said the machine

practically jumped off the table.

Her answers appeared to be

false on everything.

And he turned to her and he said,

"Mrs. Dollarhide, it appears

that you know where your son is.

It appears that you know what happened

to him" and some other questions.

And that's when she became

very aggravated, very agitated,

jumped up and ran out and was screaming.

I lied about being... stealing,

and I had... so that's why I failed.

I didn't lie about anything

to do with Nicholas.

It was the other questions.

- Darryl? Charlie Parker.

- Mr. Parker.

How are you doin'?

It's nice in here.

So this is the house, huh?

Yes, sir.

The polygraph led us to believe

that she did have some information...

...she could provide that she refused to

and we felt like Jason had information.

If Jason did something to Nicholas,

I didn't know about it

and I can't imagine Jason ever doing that.

It's just not in his makeup,

but... I don't know.

I know my brother or my mother did not

kill Nicholas, accidentally, on purpose.

Whatever Frederic said, it never happened.

When we first got my dog, he was always

digging in the back corner over there

where the, the tree is.

And one day I was mowing

and saw, like, pieces of, like, plastic,

- kind of like a tarp kind of material...

- OK.

...sticking out of the ground.

I tried to pull it up to get it out,

and it just kept ripping on me

as it was stuck in the ground.

So I never paid any attention to it

or gave it any thought,

until last night when we were speaking

on the phone.

And the bush has been there a while?

I had initially tried to get a hold of

Jason prior to Frederic's arrest

and couldn't.

And then when I finally did

get a hold of him,

I asked him

about the disappearance of his brother.

He just seemed totally apathetic about

the disappearance of his younger brother.

Extremely apathetic.

And didn't care that he'd been returned

but when he did see him,

no, that wasn't his brother,

but he didn't seem interested enough

or excited enough

to tell his mother and sister,

"That's not my brother.

No, no, they just wanted to believe."

Yeah, it's a good spot. Let's see.

Say he dumps him here first...

...and then, if he looks up,

yeah, yeah, this is good, this is good.

He was very hostile,

refused to help in any way,

and then he later left

the drug rehabilitation centre

and was found having died

from a drug overdose.

I think that Jason became a perfect scapegoat

because he's not here.

He died,

so he can't be questioned

or, you know, anything.

I mean,

he can't, he can't even defend himself.

It's kinda like a nightmare.

All this stuff is coming at you and none

of it's true but nobody believes you.

Or they think that you had

something to do with it.

And it's like getting in trouble

for something you didn't do.

You know, when kids tell you,

"I didn't do it!"

You're going, "Yeah, right."

But I didn't do it.

I do feel like the family knows

the whereabouts of Nicholas Barclay.

I think that Beverly Dollarhide

and Jason Dollarhide knew at one time

what happened to Nicholas Barclay.

Show me one piece of evidence,

show me one thing that will lock

anybody in our family up over this,

just one shred of actual proof.

Back here. Let's go back here.

The biggest,

funniest one to me, hilarious,

is that we went and picked up

a complete stranger

to hide the fact that we killed Nicholas

or someone in my family killed Nicholas.

When through four years

that Nicholas was disappeared,

we were the only ones looking for him.

Why would we go pick up a stranger to hide

something that didn't need to be hidden?

Just another one of his lies.

Even from behind bars,

he continued to lie to families

of other missing children.

From this phone in his cell,

Bourdin made hundreds of collect calls

claiming to have information

about lost children.

He even said he could help solve

the highly publicized case

of Sabrina Aisenberg,

an infant who was taken from her home

in Tampa, Florida, last year.

No.

Yes.

He's a habitual liar

and it blows my mind

that anybody can take anything

that is said out of his mouth as truth.

What? This kid comes

and says he's Nicholas,

and then turns around and says,

"You... these people

that took care of me killed him."

Hm.

How do you come up with that conclusion?

He put us through enough already

and then for him to do this

while he's in jail for what he's done

and to cause more pain to our family?

F*** him.

I didn't give a damn what other people
