Where is Robert Berchtold’s ex-wife Gail Berchtold now? |All Social Updates

Peacock’s Family Friend is a limited drama series that follows the kidnappings of Jan Broberg, aged 12 and 14, in the 1970s. There is no other way to characterize this series other than as frighteningly creepy. This is because a close friend was actually responsible not only for her kidnapping, but also for her careful nurturing and brainwashing, which is explored in the Netflix documentary entitled Kidnapped in Plain Sight. However, if you just want to know more about the defendant’s partner at the time, specifically Gail Toyn Berchtold, wife of Robert “Bob” Berchtold, we have provided all the relevant information you need.

Who is Gail Berchtold?

Gail was rumored to have joyfully tied the knot with then-active Army officer Robert (or B) on June 7, 1961, in a beautiful ceremony held at the Logan Temple of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in Utah . They soon decided to start a new chapter in their lives by moving, so they spent some time in different places. At the time he was actually based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but it was then that they made the decision to relocate. These included the cities of Brigham City in Utah, Pocatello in Idaho and Ogden in Utah. During their time in Utah, they became the happy parents of five beautiful children: Jerry, James, Joseph, Jeff and Jill.

However, Idaho was not at all a suitable place for the Berchtolds to live, particularly because it was there that Robert Berchtold developed his obsession with the prepubescent Jan Broberg before kidnapping her in 1974 and 1976. It’s also very important to note that Gail advised the parents of the missing children not to contact authorities for the first few days after their disappearance in October, but the reason for her advice was never discovered. This is an important fact to keep in mind. Therefore, some people believe that she was aware of her spouse’s actions because she allegedly helped him manipulate the Brobergs to lower the charges. Others say she didn’t know because she helped him fool the Brobergs.

This conclusion may be drawn in part due to the fact that Gail packed up her things, collected her children and left Robert for good before attempting dating for the second time in August 1976, with the then 14-year-old, suggesting that she had nothing had to do with the incident. By that time, she had already filed for divorce and has since stayed so aloof from the whole situation that she has never even approached her on the internet, in interviews, or as a counselor in films or series. The actress who plays Gail in Family Friend, Lio Tipton, has also made it clear that there’s a good chance that not everything we see on our televisions regarding Gail is 100% accurate.

Recently and in an exclusive interview with The Cut, Lio said, “It’s an open question how much Gail knows.” “I’ve attended several meetings … [on how] to approach a scene – you know, should I have the undertone that I’m also doing this to sweep things under the rug, or is Gail incredibly ignorant of the situation?

Where is Gail Berchtold now?

Regarding Gail’s current circumstances, a mix of web logs and social media profiles reveal that the family woman was born in Grouse Creek, Utah but currently resides in Roy, Utah. This information was obtained from an investigation of the situation. She remarried in the late 1980s, but sadly her second husband, James Leslie Wadman, lost his battle with bladder cancer on April 5, 2015, just over three decades after their first marriage. He was 70 years old and they had been happily married for more than 27 years at that point. So it seems that despite the fact that she is now in her 70s, Gail is living a peaceful yet contented life as a pensioner in the close company of her children.
