Bloody hell - just watched this. So so sad. Following the recap at the end i cant shake the feeling that her husband was involved. It is so incredibly sad.

I was sympathetic right up until the end then what she said changed my mind completely. There is no reason why that child needed to die, it could have been left outside a hospital or somewhere where she would have been found, instead left hidden in a park to freeze to death. Just horrible.

@Shehasadiamondinthesky

It felt like there was so much more questioning that wasnt covered - like the fact there was no blood in her car? Or did i miss this part?

Agree op. Watched it a few days ago. Lots doesn’t make sense, where was he in that 30min time gap before appearing on cctv at the garage? If she lost so much blood, how was she capable of taking the baby into the car, driving and dumping the baby and returning home? All without a single trace of blood in the car despite the bathroom looking like a bloodbath and he clothes shed been wearing soaked in blood...
I think she had the baby, passed out from blood loss, he arrived home, discovered the baby, took the baby and dumped it before returning back home. The timelines just don’t match up imo.

She didn’t make herself look good when getting out on bail and remarrying without telling the guy what the situation was and then going on to have another child. But ultimately I think the ex husband did it but the evidence wasn’t strong enough to charge him for it, so they went after her instead.

Although from what she said at the end i got the feeling she didn't actually think her daughter would die. Obviously this makes no sense - but she was talking to her about seeing her in a store when she was grown up

I watched it and also felt some sympathy until the last episode when I just began to feel she made bad decisions like not complying with her bail conditions (her mother was shouting at her as she was supposed to be with mum but was off with new man). It just made me feel her judgement was less reliable and tbh I believed her at the end when she told more of her story
Did I hear it right that she married her second husband before telling him? If that is true it is shocking!

@Queen

Yup - told him after they were married. Just wow.
