For years, Jess has been the one asking the questions.

Since she was a teenager, she's been the one trying to unearth hidden things.

Now, all of a sudden, the tables have turned.

Two professional investigators are asking Jess questions about being a foundling.

I was like, what the hell is going on?

Oddly, apart from the TV producers who made the long lost family episode and then me, no one's really asked Jess about the events at the start of her life.

Her friends have, sure, but never anyone official.

The police investigation into her abandonment ended years ago when she was still tiny.

There were no answers then and the case was shelved.

And then last year, I started asking questions and trying to speak to officers who worked on the investigation back in 1987.

And that seems to have set off a chain reaction.

I was setting up the mics to interview Aldwyn Jones, the original detective on the case, who we heard from at the start of the series.

And he asked me something I wasn't quite prepared for.

I'm going to ask her.

I've written to her.

Now, in an investigation like this, you tread quite carefully with the information you're gathering.

You don't go around telling everyone everything.

But when a senior policeman, even one who's retired, asks you for the answer to a mystery he and his team didn't manage to crack, well, you feel a bit of pressure.

Yeah.

I wonder who was your suspicion about who it was?
