Four babies. One mother. Twenty years in prison. And not a single piece of physical evidence linking her to any of it.
Kathleen Folbigg was called Australia's worst female serial killer. Her diary was handed to police by her own husband. A jury convicted her in 2003 based on the theory that lightning simply couldn't strike four times in the same family.
Except... it can. And it did.
In 2020, geneticists discovered rare mutations in her children's DNA that explained every single death. Over 100 scientists signed a petition demanding her release. In 2023, after 20 years behind bars, she walked free. Her convictions were fully quashed months later.
The justice system called her a monster. Science called her innocent.
