Text messages between me and Debbie Condon, 6 July 2021, with a sensitive phone number redacted:

Amanda Bailey

Thanks for your reply, Debbie. I’m finding it tough to locate people directly involved in the case.

Debbie Condon

Even if I were as indiscreet as that, the details would be a decade out of date.

Unknown number

‘Jonah’ 07

Amanda Bailey

I totally understand, Debbie. Thank you. I’ll credit you and mention the TV series if I use any of your quotes.

Script for my phone call to ‘Jonah’, 6 July 2021:

‘Hi Jonah, my name is Amanda Bailey. I understand you were one of the teenage victims of the Alperton Angels. Believe me when I say Icompletely empathise with the circumstances that led you to fall victim to such a predatory cult. I’m writing a book about the case and would like to invite you to tell your side of the story. This way the account will be as truthful and accurate as possible.’

Not his phone any more. Whose? Wouldn’t say who she was. Core Abbey, Isle of Wight.

WhatsApp messages between me and Oliver Menzies, 7 July 2021:

Your mum shares lost dog posts from other countries

Oliver Menzies

I doubt it, she’s in a home.

Amanda Bailey

Confirm you’ll take me on your prison visit and you can come with me to interview Jonah on Friday. No one could say fairer than that.

Oliver Menzies

THE Jonah? Seriously? It’s all organised?

Amanda Bailey

You’d be mad to turn this opportunity down.

Oliver Menzies

OK. But only because we should move forward in the spirit of working together and sharing the process.
