There’s nothing more terrifying than losing a child, but Robert “Bob” Berchtold did just that to the Broberg family when he kidnapped their daughter Jan Broberg — twice. In 2019, Netflix released the documentary Abducted in Plain Sight, in which we got to hear from the victims themselves.

The affair began then and there, and lasted for eight months. In A Friend of the Family, we saw hints of this affair coming when Berchtold flirts with and whispers to Mary Ann, making her husband jealous from the start. (In reality, Mary Ann even admitted in the documentary that she saw in Berchtold “a charisma that Bob didn’t possess.”) So by the time Berchtold asks to meet with her alone, it’s not too shocking when they begin a sexual relationship.Article continues below advertisementSource: Netflix Robert Berchtold with Jan Broberg and Mary Ann Broberg However, there is one major difference between the events of the series.
