May 02, 2023 Finding Samantha: 02 - Webs of Deceit
As we follow the trail of the Girl at the GPO – who we now know is Australian woman Samantha Azzopardi - we dive into a surreal world where fact and fiction are often blurred. Samantha has connections to Ireland and a seemingly long and troubled back history in Australia. To begin to understand where this all started, we travel to Australia, to the suburbs of Sydney, where journalist Sharon Davis comes on board. Samantha’s trail leads us into the Blue Mountains in New South Wales and to a small Christian community. (Ep 2/7)

About Poison Ink

From the publisher's feed

Poison Ink tells the story of two neighbouring families who, over the course of five years, were terrorised by a series of sinister and threatening poison-pen letters. As fear and suspicion took hold, they began to question who they could trust. Who was behind the disturbing campaign, and what could they do to bring it to an end?
