NEW: Ep4 of our new series, The Real Carrie Jade, dropped this morning. Knowing she’s been rumbled in Dublin, 'Lucy' (aka Samantha Cookes) disappears before showing up on the opposite side of the country, at a small village on the West Coast of Ireland. She begins work as an au pair and moves into the home and lives of another unsuspecting family, caring for their children. It’s only when she leaves that the family begin to find out the truth about who they've really had staying in their house. But by then Samantha has morphed from 'Lucy' into ‘child psychologist, Rebecca Fitzgerald' and is moving on to her next set of victims.

It’s not salacious or speculative, but probing and revealing. sets a benchmark for true crime podcast. It’s not salacious or speculative, but probing and revealing.
