Amy McAuley’s death in childbirth devastated her work colleagues, and her employer had no problem handing over €9,000 to pay for the surviving child’s operation.

It didn’t take long however, for alarm bells to start ringing.

Episode 1 of Unravelling Amy looks at the Dublin woman’s first steps into fraud, with thefts of hundreds of thousands of euro under her belt.

No crime was too big or too small as she targeted employers in her work in finance and in childcare, often using their identities to carry it out.

It also examines the deceptions the courts never heard about, including a shocking charity stitch up.

And we hear why the new mum, with a new home, decided to fake her own death for the first time.
