Summary
The story today is from Newcastle, in the north-east of England. Emma Golightly was very keen on internet dating and used it extensively - but not because she was looking for love, but because she was looking for money, by exploiting the men she planned to meet.

| 0:13.7 | Hello and welcome to episode 490 of the UK True Crime Podcast. I'm Adam. |
| 0:20.2 | Thank you so much to join me today for this episode from |
| 0:22.5 | Newcastle in the north-east of England. Look, I know it's a cliche, and on this podcast, we're never |
| 0:28.3 | short of a cliche, but we do talk a lot about real life being much stranger than fiction. |
| 0:34.1 | And that has never been more true, I don't think, than in a disturbing fraud case that we're |
| 0:39.3 | going to look at today. But before we begin, let's quickly set some context with our guests |
| 0:44.5 | a month and year game. You ready? The final episode of Frazier on NBC was watched by 33 million |

| 1:38.2 | which saw the awful deaths of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. |
| 1:42.0 | May they never be forgotten. |
| 1:46.1 | So did you get the month and year? |
| 1:54.7 | It was May 2004. Today's story comes from Newcastle in the northeast of England. It's about 280 miles to the northeast of London. And the Femfetal Meadowfield Gardens is a residential space in the |
| 2:02.3 | Walkerville area of Newcastle. To the eastern side of the city, it's an urban area which had |
| 2:08.5 | originally been developed as a model garden suburb in 1908. The area is known for having a community |
