The Sherlock Files: Jayne’s Baby Bank (Podcast)
Podcast · Season 1 · 12 episodes
The Sherlock Files: Jayne’s Baby Bank is the audio series from this site. Two names. One file. Sherlock, the anonymous investigator behind jaynesbabybank.co.uk, tells the story of a South Wales baby bank, the woman who runs it, and the paperwork behind both, in twelve parts.
Every quote is her own, word for word, with the date. Public records, her own words, and information received.
Episodes
Episode 1: Who Is Jayne Price?
June 2025. A visitor says: “Your real name is Carrie.” The answer: “No it’s not, it’s Jayne.” Sherlock goes back to the beginning: a birth registered as Carrie-Anne Ridsdale, and a CV that grew to “second to CEO”.
Episode 2: Alice and Lewis
2013 and 2014: fake profiles, threats, and printed cards about a daughter who, by her own later account, never existed. The published account of a campaign against a couple, and what she says about it now.
Content note: threats of violence and a false story about a child’s death.
Episode 3: Scrubs
A theatre selfie, “6 distinctions”, a nursing degree and a run of certificates. The nursing story from the first photograph to the last certificate, and what the university’s Registry confirmed.
Episode 4: The Driveway
2020: a driveway, a Facebook page and four words to a parent: “I am not a charity.” How the baby bank began, in at least seven versions of her own telling.
Episode 5: A Charity That Wasn’t
“I didn’t say I was a charity, I said I owned a charity shop!” One word followed through two failed Charity Commission applications, a council form, a trading standards visit and a letter from the Financial Conduct Authority.
Episode 6: The Shops
Nine sets of premises. A lease signed as a deed in the name Ceri-Ann, a £7,141 judgment against that name, and her answer: “it’s not even under my name”.
Coming next
The rest of season one is on its way. Follow the show on Spotify to hear each episode as it is released.
Episode 7: The Enemies List
“I started this to take you down.” A scoreboard of charities, a trade-marked rescue name, and three accounts given away by her own screen.
Episode 8: The Cancer Act
“I am a registered vulnerable adult under the Cancer Act.” What she has said about her health, when, and what it was attached to.
Episode 9: Weaponised
A clean criminal record check, and a word her page used anyway: four years of one accusation, turned on critic after critic.
Content note: false accusations of child abuse.
Episode 10: The Man With the Keys
“Ask the managers.” A promise that everyone around her shops was checked, tested against the record.
Content note: refers to sexual offences against children; nothing is graphic.
Episode 11: Two Names
“My registered name is Jayne Price.” Every document laid out in date order, and the name printed on each.
Episode 12: Lights Out
The season finale. Four shops, four landlords, and the paperwork that came due in 2026, ending back on Commercial Street.
About the series
The Sherlock Files is built from public records, court and company filings, Freedom of Information replies, and her own posts and videos, quoted exactly. Where something is reported rather than proven, the episode says so. Machine transcripts of her videos are checked against the recordings before release.
