"...con-artistry is detailed in Sharon Davis’s riveting Finding Samantha...It asks more questions than it answers largely due to Azzopardi’s ongoing psychiatric assessment in her native Australia...That her motives and diagnosis remain elusive make for a particularly engrossing documentary series."

"Why did she do it? It’s the maddening question running beneath the madness. Finding Samantha is a gripping investigation into a bizarre story – and while this podcast might be light on production, it is heavy on intrigue."
