Natalia Grace Barnett was adopted by the Barnett family in 2009 and the ultimate "this can't be true" story began.  Though her records indicated she was only six years old, the family began finding red flag after red flag indicating that she may be older.  Much older.  Adult age even.  For the next decade, the Barnett family struggled to learn the truth while dealing with the difficulties of having an allegedly unwell adopted child in their care.  The situation resolved when Natalia was abandoned in an apartment by the Barnetts - or so the family thought.  In a true labyrinth of a true crime case, we try to make sense of all the bizarre and contradictory facts presented in newspapers and a recent Investigation Discovery documentary.  Who was Natalia Barnett, and how old is this person?
