About the journalist

Jane MacSorley is an award winning producer and investigative journalist. Joining the BBC in 1994, she worked with news and current affairs for over 15 years making a range of programmes from undercover in one of Britain’s top private prisons to exposing serious failings in the UK’s childcare industry. In 2002, Jane uncovered the story of the suspicious deaths of the four army recruits at the Deepcut barracks in Surrey making four TV investigations over the years for BBC. In 2017 she produced the Panorama investigation, Cadet Abuse Cover-Up which led to the conviction of a retired naval officer. He was jailed in 2021 for sexually abusing schoolboys over 40 years before.

Jane wrote and presented the Audible Original Death at Deepcut. The launch of the podcast series in June 2021 made national headlines. It unearthed a fifth death of a trainee at the camp that had been kept a secret for 20 years. More recently Jane was the undercover journalist for a BBC N Ireland documentary into a fertility clinic. The Belfast clinic has since closed down and is the focus of an investigation by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

unbelievable

Great audio book. This case still baffles me as to how in this day and age someone can fake their own death and start a new life in a different country ... unbelievable and sadly true!

Very interesting and engaging.

I found "I am not Nicholas" very interesting, especially as I didn't know any background or even heard of this story until now. I found it particularly engaging when the audio samples where played back for you to determine your own decision and the real interview recordings are used across the board so you can really use them as a reference for your conclusions. Although it may be a bit predictable mid way through, it doesn't take from the very interesting story as the journalist changes tactics and approaches from different angles with some promising leads.
Overall, I would recommend this series as I did feel i was looking forward to the next episode as soon as I finished the previous.

Fantastic! 5*

I originally downloaded this podcast as something to listen to before going to bed.... but it was so gripping I ended up finishing it in one day after listening to it at every opportunity. A great podcast and well worth a listen.

Really enjoyed it!

A really interesting and captivating podcast, highly recommend. Great performance and story, I’m glad I hadn’t heard it in the news as I could listen to it in full with no spoilers!

This had me hooked - I could not turn it off. Would love a follow up episode after the decision yesterday to extradite.
