Dear Mama
After two months of being in America, Bourdin started to fall apart. He was moody, aloof, and “weirding out,” as Codey put it. He stopped going to his classes and got suspended. In December, he took Bryan and Carey’s car and drove to Oklahoma. The police pulled him over for speeding, and he was arrested. He was brought back to his “home,” but he was missing his own mother.

According to his real mother, Ghislaine, he had called her in Europe. Despite all of their disagreements, Bourdin still seemed to long for her. He wrote her a letter once, saying, “I don’t want to lose you. If you disappear, then I disappear.” Ghislaine said that Bourdin confessed that he was living with a woman in America who believed that he was her son. She got so upset that she hung up the phone.
