Podcasts about Kathleen Folbigg

After 20 years in prison, Kathleen Folbig, once labelled Australia’s worst female serial killer, was released in just 56 minutes. New genetic evidence cleared her of killing her four children, flipping one of the country’s most infamous cases on its head. Kathleen’s story is one of loss and a justice system that got it badly wrong. But her fight isn't over. In this episode, investigative journalist Quentin McDermott, author of Meadow’s Law, joins us to unpack how a flawed theory about SIDS helped send Kathleen to prison—and the science, advocacy, and determination that finally set her free. You can find Quentin's book here.

#4 2025 Mutationer i proteinet calmodulin giver en markant øget risiko for pludselig hjertedød. Det skyldes, at proteinets evne til at binde calcium forringes betydeligt. Professor Michael Toft Overgaard har i mange år forsket i netop calmodulin og de potentielt fatale konsekvenser af calmodulin-mutationer. Han blev derfor for nogle år siden involveret i en sag, hvor en australsk kvinde - Kathleen Folbigg – havde tilbragt 20 år i fængsel for at have dræbt sine fire børn, der var døde på uforklarlig vis. Nye genetiske analyser havde imidlertid afsløret, at Kathleen Folbigg og to af børnene havde en mutation i CALM2, som koder for netop calmodulin. Michael Toft Overgaard blev hyret til undersøge, hvad denne specifikke mutation gjorde ved proteinets funktion. Det viste sig, at mutationen svækkede calcium-bindingen i netop den ende af molekylet, der regulerer mange vigtige ionkanaler i hjertet. Og altså med stor sandsynlighed var årsag til dødsfaldene, hvilket ledte til Kathleen Folbiggs frifindelse. Vært er Nynne Bjerre Christensen

Australialaista Kathleen Folbiggiä on kutsuttu Australian pahimmaksi sarjamurhaajaksi sen jälkeen, kun hänet tuomittiin neljän lapsensa murhista. Kathleen vakuutti koko ajan syyttömyyttään ja väitti, että hänen lapsensa olivat kokeneet luonnollisen kuoleman. 20 vuoden jälkeen paljastui, että Kathleen saattoi todella olla syytön. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin alkuvaiheilta.

Join host Victoria Carthew as she interviews award-winning investigative journalist Quentin McDermott about his latest book, “Meadow's Law”.“Meadow's Law” is a gripping and meticulously researched account of one of Australia's most infamous criminal cases. In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty of smothering her four young children to death, one by one. Medical experts told her trial they had never come across a family like hers, where three or more infants had died from natural causes. Extracts from diaries she had written were judged to be virtual admissions of guilt, and Folbigg was sentences to 40 years in jail. But did she do it? Quentin McDermott's groundbreaking work with ABC's Australian Story helped trigger a push by scientists to uncover the genetic cause of two of the children's deaths. This is the story of how a dedicated team of lawyers, friends and supporters fought to achieve Kathleen's eventual pardon, release and acquittal after 20 years behind bars.Order “Meadow's Law” from your local QBD Books store or online today: https://www.qbd.com.au/meadows-law/quentin-mcdermott/9780733342912/ Follow along with QBD Books here: QBD Books on Facebook: www.facebook.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Instagram: www.instagram.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@qbdbooksaustralia 

One of Phil's former colleagues, Quentin McDermott, joins him from Australia to report on the remarkable case of Kathleen Folbigg - one of the greatest miscarriages of justice of our age.After four of her children died under the age of 20 months, Kathleen Folbigg was charged and convicted of their murder in 2003. After 20 year in prison she was freed after scientific discoveries and a new analysis of statistical probabilities revealed that at least two of the children probably died from natural causes and that there was never ANY direct forensic evidence linked her to any of the deaths.As a reporter for the ABC Quentin played a major part in the campaign to have the case reopened, and he believes that Kathleen should never have even been brought to trial, even based on the knowledge of ‘cot death' available in 2003.You can buy Quentin's book, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others...https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/meadow-s-law-the-true-story-of-kathleen-folbigg-and-the-science-that-set-her-free-by-an-award-winning-journalist-for-readers-of-quentin-mcdermott/7751177?aid=12054&ean=9780733342912&Please Follow Quentin Here...https://x.com/quentinmcdermot?lang=en&mx=2***We now have a Thank You button (next to the 'three dots') for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you'd like to get scandalous with?

February 20th: Kathleen Folbigg's First Murder? (1989) There is no worse pain for a parent than losing their child. But, what happens when that tragedy is twisted into something nefarious? On February 20th 1989 an infant passed away in what was clearly a case of SIDS. Yet his death, and the deaths of his siblings, would take on a whole new light when someone incredibly close to them was accused of something truly horrible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Folbigg, https://time.com/6509648/kathleen-folbigg-case-children-murder-conviction-overturned-australia/, https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/14/australia/australia-folbigg-murder-convictions-quashed-intl-hnk/index.html, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65830799, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/australian-mother-kathleen-folbigg-convictions-killing-her-4-kids-overturned/, https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/14/kathleen-folbigg-children-murder-acquitted/, https://nypost.com/2023/12/14/news/australian-woman-kathleen-folbigg-jailed-for-death-of-her-four-children-has-conviction-quashed/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we discuss the tragic story of Kathleen Folbigg. Convicted in 2003 for the deaths of her four children over a span of ten years, Folbigg was labeled as one of the country's worst female serial killers. But was there more to the story? As new scientific evidence comes to light, questions about her guilt and the role of genetics in the case have reignited public debate.

New cost of living measures announced for Australians; Kathleen Folbigg to seek millions in compensation over wrongful conviction; the Wallabies defeat Argentina, re-energising Australia's Rugby Championship campaign.

Imagine being locked in a police interrogation room for 48 hours straight - you haven't eaten, barely slept, your anxiety levels are at an all-time high, and you're being intensely questioned about a crime that you haven't committed. You're innocent, so the truth will come out, right?  In Australia, it's estimated that up to a third of wrongful convictions involve a false confession. In the US, of the 258 wrongful convictions overturned by the Innocence Project, 25% involved a false confession.  In this episode, Dr Hayley Cullen reveals the psychology behind what leads to false confessions, and how false memories can be created in the minds of people under interrogation. If the episode affects you, the number for Life Line is 13 11 14. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wrongful convictions for the murder of a loved one are rare but not unheard of (think Michael Morton, Kathleen Folbigg, Jeff Deskovick, Kristina Kurlis, Patricia Stallings, Debra Milke, Sally Clark, Nichole Harris, Hanna Overton and others). They come from all walks of life.  Men and women who faced injustice on top of grief. Can this nightmare be avoided? Listen in and know what to do. This episode is dedicated to Melissa Lucio in Texas who is on death row awaiting execution for the wrongful conviction of her toddler

In this episode we meet Rhanee Rego, the young Novocastrian who became interested in the case of Australia's "worst serial child killer", Kathleen Folbigg, when studying law. Six years later, Rego was instrumental in securing the release of Folbigg, who'd been jailed in 2003 for killing her four infant children. With Folbigg's convictions now quashed, Rego is working to secure what's expected to be one of the biggest compensation payouts in Australian legal history. Hosting the conversation is Good Weekend senior writer, Tim Elliott.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Richard Estep is my special guest. The shocking discovery that serial killers could be ordinary citizens such as nurses, business owners, and next-door neighbors stunned the world. Get his book The Serial Killer Next Door: The Double Lives of Notorious Murderers on Amazon.   About the book: How well do you know your neighbors? Maybe you should get to know them better! Growing up, we are taught that monsters are easy to identify, but the truth is very different. Too often, the serial murderer does not stand out. Otherwise, he, or she, would get caught.   The contrast between the ordinary-seeming lives that provided cover for their cruel secrets is exposed in The Serial Killer Next Door: The Double Lives of Notorious Murderers. To their coworkers, neighbors, and others who knew them, they led unremarkable lives. They had careers as military pilots, police officers, landscapers, small business owners, farmers, realtors, reporters, authors, veterinary technicians, nurses, doctors, handymen, painters, and chefs, while they simultaneously stalked city suburbs, college campuses, trailer parks, and red-light districts. This chilling book looks at the horrifying stories of nearly 30 malevolent killers (and hundreds of innocent victims) who were mistakenly trusted, including …     Genene Jones, a nurse responsible for the murder of 60 infants and children in her care. She’s said to be the inspiration for Stephen King’s iconic character of Annie Wilkes, in Misery – and her nephew broke into King’s home, threatening to blow up the writer and his family because of it! Robert Lee Yates, a helicopter pilot in the Army National Guard who, when caught, buried one body outside his bedroom window as his wife slept. Gary Ridgway, also known as the Green River Killer, went undetected for 20 years, working for 30 years as a painter for a truck company and married for 17 years. Kathleen Folbigg, whose three children were at first thought to have died from natural causes. She only got caught when her husband found her personal diary. Joseph James DeAngelo, who worked various jobs, including as a police officer and a truck mechanic. He went on a decades-long crime spree and was finally caught with the help of DNA evidence. His case was instrumental in the establishment of California's DNA database. And dozens of other serial killers!   It’s chilling to realize that many serial killers have created second lives that are completely divorced from the brutality and evils they commit. It’s incomprehensible to think that they are able to flip a switch, transforming them from apparently loving, ordinary men and women into torturous, homicidal slaughterers. With more than 120 photos and graphics, The Serial Killer Next Door is richly illustrated. Its helpful bibliography and extensive index add to its usefulness. We trust our neighbors, coworkers, and acquaintances. Of course, we do. It's ominous to think that we can't!

On September 12, 1996, Keli Lane gave birth to a baby girl at Auburn Hospital in western Sydney. Two days later that baby seemingly disappeared.  After years of investigation, Keli was convicted of her daughter's murder in 2010 and sentenced to 18 years behind bars. But did they get it wrong? Keli Lane's story has been compared to the wrongful conviction of Lindy Chamberlain. It's been pulled apart and analysed for years.   So is she a baby killer? Or is she a woman, misunderstood.

In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg became the most hated woman in Australia when she was convicted of murdering her four children ranging from only 19 days old to two years old.  The most damning evidence against her were her journals or what she called her "babble books." These journals detailed her daily life with her children and husband and became a critical piece of the prosecution's case. We will read several excerpts and you can decide - are they the ramblings of a stressed-out mother or the confessions of a killer? Kathleen's case is made even more strange when in 2023, 20 years after her conviction, it was revealed that the children had rare genetic diseases that could have contributed toward their deaths. As a result, Kathleen was pardoned and exonerated of all of her crimes. But was this simply because of reasonable doubt or is she really an innocent woman? You have to listen to believe this one.

Kathleen Folbigg was convicted for the deaths of her 4 young children (all babies) in NSW over a 10 year period and in 2003 was convicted of the murder of 3 of them and manslaughter of one child. Always maintaining her innocence, she was initially sentenced to 40yrs in prison (reduced to 30yrs on appeal) however after 2 decades in jail, she was pardoned and in Dec 2023 had her convictions quashed following a judicial inquiry that found there was reasonable doubt with regard to her guilt. That finding was informed by new scientific evidence that had been unavailable at the time of her trial and other crucial evidence relating to Folbigg's diaries which were presented by the prosecution as akin to confessions.We'll chat a little about this case but what I'm more interested in is how Dr Williams feels about the way media cover criminal processes such as Kathleen Folbigg's trials, how they portray criminals and the influence (and danger) they can have in swaying public opinion.

Always maintaining her innocence, she was initially sentenced to 40yrs in prison (reduced to 30yrs on appeal) however after 2 decades in jail, she was pardoned and in Dec 2023 had her convictions quashed following a judicial inquiry that found there was reasonable doubt with regard to her guilt. That finding was informed by new scientific evidence that had been unavailable at the time of her trial and other crucial evidence relating to Folbigg's diaries which were presented by the prosecution as akin to confessions. We'll chat a little about this case but what I'm more interested in is how Dr Williams feels about the way media cover criminal processes such as Kathleen Folbigg's trials, how they portray criminals and the influence (and danger) they can have in swaying public opinion.

Today, we're bringing you an episode from our archive. Most Australians know the name Lindy Chamberlain. She's famously the victim of what's been called “the most notorious miscarriage of justice” in Australian legal history. She was wrongfully convicted of murdering her nine-week old daughter, Azaria, during a camping trip at Uluru, and sentenced to life in prison.But how many people know about the murder conviction inquiry that's going on right now that could, as one expert put it recently, make the Chamberlain case pale into insignificance?On this episode, legal affairs reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald, Michaela Whitbourn, on the inquiry that could change the way our legal system handles evidence in murder trials. And why the diaries of Newcastle mother Kathleen Folbigg, which were once used to help convict her of murder, might now be the very thing to set her free.This episode first aired on March 30, 2023.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once labelled Australia's worst female serial killer, Kathleen Folbigg's convictions for killing her children have been quashed.

Previously referred to as Australia's worst female serial killer, Kathleen Folbigg has finally had her convictions for killing her four children dismissed.  In 2003, she was convicted of murdering her children Patrick, Sarah and Laura and of the manslaughter of her son Caleb. Though she spent 20 years in prison, she always maintained her innocence.  In this extra episode of The Briefing, we explain the science of genetic mutations that helped to clear Kathleen's name, and whether she will be receiving compensation for the time that she spent wrongfully incarcerated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One after the other, the children just kept dying. By the time Laura Elizabeth Folbigg was laid to rest at just one-and-a-half years old, the world wanted answers, and her mother Kathleen Folbigg stood accused of one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, the murder of four of her own children, all under the age of two.

Kathleen Folbigg was once known as Australia's worst female serial killer – now she's free after being pardoned. New scientific evidence played a big role in her release. But there are other issues that drove the media and the justice system's condemnation of Folbigg. The way her psychological state, her grief and her reliability were questioned speak to the treatment of women who are accused of murder. Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Wendy Bacon, on the fight for Kathleen Folbigg's pardon and why it points to more wrongful convictions within our justice system.

Earlier this week, in an historic decision, the NSW attorney general made the extraordinary announcement that Kathleen Folbigg had been granted a pardon after 20 years in prison. In 2003, Kathleen was sentenced to thirty years for the murders of three of her children and the manslaughter of a fourth. And while she always maintained her innocence, it wasn't until a second inquiry into Kathleen's convictions, that new scientific developments led to revelations that three of her children could have died of natural causes. As the dust settles from this week's announcement, attention has turned to understanding the failures that put her in jail, the scientific advancements that freed her, and quashing her convictions once and for all.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Dr Xanthe Mallett The latest episode of her podcast, Motive & Method, saw Xanthe and her cohost interview Kathleen's best friend Tracy Chapman.
