Con Girl, Paramount+
This documentary tells the stranger-than-fiction story of Azzopardi, who has amassed at least 70 false identities since she embarked upon her career of deception as a 14-year-old girl from Brisbane.
You might have heard a recent RTÉ radio documentary about the GPO Girl. This is her.
A young woman was found in a distressed state near the GPO Museum in Dublin in 2013. Refusing to speak, she indicated that she was 14, spent several weeks in a children’s hospital and was the victim of human traffickers.
She could not be identified, despite involving Interpol and the Missing Persons Bureau, and took the unusual step of releasing a photograph, with the aim of finding out who this child was. Then, says one officer, the southern hemisphere woke up.
On the surface, Azzopardi is innocence personified, but behind the sweet facade is a brazen and sophisticated confidence trickster - and a psychological enigma.
