Lucy Greenwell

In the moment, I'm buying time and I'm thinking, this isn't my information to share.

Is there any way I can not tell him?

Is that right?

Yes, that is right.

He's not giving up and I can't see a way not to answer him.

I end up confirming a suspicion he's obviously had all along.

She's the mother.

And it turns out he shared that crucial piece of information with some of his former colleagues.

Once a copper, always a copper, right?

And that's led here to a pair of cold case officers drinking tea on Jess's sofa.

My questions had set something in motion that I hadn't anticipated.

Remember how Aldwyn had said that baby Jess was lucky to be alive?

How a lot of babies who are abandoned don't survive?

The plainclothes police officers tell Jess about two babies who were found dead in 1984.

They say that one of the baby's bodies is being exhumed so that DNA samples can be taken.

The officers are here because they want to take a saliva swap from Jess.

They need her DNA because they want to rule out any connection to Jennifer.

I'm Lucy Greenwell, and from Tortoise Investigates and The Observer, this is Foundling.

Episode 6, Lost.

It's been two and a half years since Jess completed her family jigsaw.
