Natalia Grace Gets Third Investigation Discovery Documentary

The documentary filmmakers said they thought the Natalia Grace story had ended. She has had a tough life thanks to the couple who adopted her lie about her age and abandoned her. She then seemed to find a home with a new loving family, but that seems to have ended up being a horrific experience as well.

For those who don’t remember, Natalia Grace was a nine-year-old girl adopted by an American family. Michael and Kristine Barnett claim she tried to hurt them and their kids. As a result, the Barnetts had a court in their home county change Natalia’s birthdate to 1989, changing her age from eight to 22.

They then left her alone in an apartment and moved to Canada, abandoning the child. They claim they believed she was 22, getting the idea from the fictional horror movie Orphan. The Barnetts were charged with neglect of a dependent, but courts found Michael not guilty.

However, after medical work was done, it was proven that Natalia was eight, and the Barnetts abandoned a child to fend for herself. The public met and learned all about Natalia in the 2023 Investigation Discovery series The Curious Case of Natalia Grace. A second season was called The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks. There is also a Hulu TV series coming called Good American Family.

Natalia Grace Still In Danger In Season 3

In The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter, it turned out that the young woman was still in danger. The press release for the third season indicates that things were about to get even wilder.

The synopsis reads: “Just when it seemed she was set to get the happy ending she deserved, a bombshell phone call placed to production from the Manses at the end of last season threw Natalia’s once bright future into murky uncertainty,”

The Manses have previously said that Natalia no longer lives with them. They also said that the girl was starting to become frightening. They felt they might be in danger, as the Barnetts claimed. The trailer seems to hint that Natalia felt she was being held captive and the Manses were a “cult.”

The trailer also shows people trying to “save” Natalia from the Manses. It ends with Natalia saying, “If I comment on this, it’s gonna start some drama.”

The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter airs on Investigation Discovery on January 6 and January 7 at 9/8c. It will also stream on Max.
