In this episode, we explore The Tale of Kathleen Folbigg—once dubbed “Australia’s Most Hated Woman.” In 2003, Folbigg was convicted of killing her four infant children over a ten-year span, with prosecutors arguing she smothered them one by one. Her diaries, filled with guilt and grief, were used as evidence against her. The media painted her as a cold-blooded killer, and the public followed suit.
But years later, scientific breakthroughs would challenge everything.
New genetic research revealed a rare mutation in two of the children—one that could explain sudden cardiac death. Coupled with mounting doubt over the original evidence, the case sparked national debate. Was Kathleen Folbigg a serial killer—or a grieving mother wrongfully imprisoned?
After spending 20 years behind bars, her story is now being reexamined in a dramatic turn of justice.
Join us as we unravel the facts, the media frenzy, and the science that could rewrite one of Australia’s most controversial convictions.
