Introducing: Dr Anti-vax

Introducing...The Lab Detective Kathleen Folbigg experienced unimaginable&nbsp;loss. All four of her infant&nbsp;children died suddenly, over a 10-year period. Their deaths were unexplained. Until a police detective turned up at her door, and arrested Kathleen on suspicion of murder.&nbsp; She was labelled ‘Australia's worst female serial killer’, convicted, and was destined to spend most of the rest of her life in jail.&nbsp; Until a different type of detective entered her life. A scientist working in a lab who uncovered the truth behind the deaths.&nbsp; This is the story of a&nbsp;shocking miscarriage of justice, but as journalist Rachel Sylvester starts to investigate how this happened, she learns that Kathleen is not alone – other mothers have endured the same fate, and may also be in prison.&nbsp; The Lab Detective is a story about the power of science, and the determination of those searching for the truth. Episodes 1 and 2 will be available to listen on 22nd July.
