<p>Julia Holmes&nbsp;was&nbsp;born as Cecilia&nbsp;McKitterick&nbsp;in Castlederg,&nbsp;County&nbsp;Tyrone.&nbsp;After leaving Northern Ireland when she was 19, she eventually settled in Texas, where she started her career as a&nbsp;scam&nbsp;artist -&nbsp;using&nbsp;more than 40 names to dupe her targets into handing over huge sums of money.&nbsp;She&nbsp;posed as&nbsp;countless aliases, including a minister and a psychologist. After being deported home for her crimes, she continued her&nbsp;scams, until she was found dead in 2015 alongside her partner, in what appeared as a suicide pact.&nbsp;</p><p>Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Gillian Halliday.&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
