## Resource

Jan Broberg was kidnapped twice — by the same man — while her parents stood by and did nothing. In this episode of Necronomipod, we cover the true crime case behind the Netflix documentary Abducted in Plain Sight: how Robert Berchtold groomed Jan Broberg over years, manipulated her entire family, and carried out not one but two abductions. We break down how Berchtold gained the family's trust, the psychological manipulation and control he built over Jan, how the first kidnapping unfolded, and how he managed to insert himself back into their lives for a second abduction. We also cover the FBI investigation, the eventual reckoning, and where Jan Broberg is today. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Sponsored by BetterHelp https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.
