New episodes dropping every Wednesday until Nov 22

In 2011, Russian gymnast Emily Sciberras tells her new best friend that her entire family has been killed in a murder-suicide, including her 15-year-old twin sister. 

In 2013, a distressed teenage girl with no name is found on the streets of Dublin after escaping a human trafficking ring. She is so traumatised she cannot speak.

In 2014, 14-year-old Aurora Hepburn stumbles into a clinic in Canada, after fleeing a cult.

What do these women and their terrifying stories have in common?

They are all fake identities, convincingly created by one Australian woman – Samantha Azzopardi – a serial con-artist who has amassed more than 75 aliases and repeatedly deceived her victims and authorities around the globe. Yet she is not in it for the money.

This gripping 8 episode podcast, based on the hit international television series, crosses three continents and features world exclusive accounts from Samantha's victims. Listeners are taken on an intriguing quest to find out - who is the real Samantha Azzopardi? And why does she do this?
