Con Artist Orphan's True Age Remains a Mystery as Lawsuits Are Dismissed

Natalia Grace Barnett, a little person with a rare bone-growth disorder, was adopted from Ukraine by a family who thought she was 6 years old.
Her adoptive parents later claimed that she was a "sociopathic" adult pretending to be a child.
A new docuseries called "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace" on Investigation Discovery investigated the bizarre claims and counterclaims of the people involved.
The Barnetts were accused of abandoning their dependent Natalia and forcing her to fend for herself.
Michael Barnett was found not guilty of all charges in fall 2022, and Kristine Barnett's trial was dismissed.
