2. Absolutely Terrified
Laura explains why it's taken her 17 years to search for Martin's mother. Will records provide any further information? From 2022.
BBC reporter Laura McDaid held Martin Barry's hand as he died at the Dignitas Clinic.
17 years later, she begins a search to fulfil his last request: to find his birth mother and pass on a message.
To move forward with the search, Laura first needs to explain why it's taken her so long to have the strength to start searching.
She takes Kerry back to the aftermath of Martin's death, and how it was handled by the press at the time.
Will the records provide her with any further information?
