Kathleen Folbigg is serving a minimum 25-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2003 of the murder of her three children, Patrick, Sarah, and Laura, and the manslaughter of her first child, Caleb. Each died suddenly between 1989 and 1999, aged between 19 days and 18 months. Her supporters say there's no pathological or medical basis to conclude homicide in any of the Folbigg children's deaths.

In this episode, we speak to Kathleen’s childhood friend, Tracy Chapman, who talks to her every day from the phone in prison. Tracey’s letters with Kathleen were also key evidence in the inquiry.
