The Netflix documentary 'Con Mum' follows Graham Hornigold, who, in his search for his biological mother, encounters a woman who claims to be her. Initially believing her to be genuine, he becomes emotionally and financially entangled, ultimately losing £300,000 and his marriage. The woman, who claimed she was dying and wished to leave him a fortune, exploited Hornigold's vulnerabilities stemming from a complex family background. A shocking DNA test at the documentary's conclusion reveals the woman is indeed his biological mother, leaving viewers questioning the nature of trust and deception in human relationships.
“You believe she is who she says she is. But she is a destroyer of lives,” Hornigold says in the documentary.
Hornigold became closer to the woman, ultimately staying with her when his wife and newborn went to New Zealand and helping her pay bills.
Then in 2020, he says in the documentary, a woman reached out saying she was the mother he never knew.
A DNA test shown at the end of the documentary concludes that the woman was indeed Hornigold's biological mother.
