Monsters Who Murder with The Serial Killer Whisperer

Kathleen Folbigg was branded "Australia's worst female serial killer" — a mother who murdered four of her own children. But was she? In part two of our deep dive into the Folbigg case, Amanda draws on years of correspondence with Kathleen and her own Masters research to pull apart the medical evidence used to convict her. We go back to where it all began — Kathleen's own violent childhood, her mother murdered by her father when she was just a baby — before examining the deaths of her first two children, Caleb and Patrick. We break down the "floppy larynx" diagnosis dismissed at trial, the haemosiderin in Caleb's lungs that experts couldn't agree on, and the diary entries prosecutors twisted into a confession. What emerges is a case built not on facts, but on the same flawed "rule of three" logic we exposed last episode. Next episode: the deaths of Laura and Sarah, and how the evidence was manipulated to fit a narrative that was never true.

This episode was recorded before Amanda's health issues. She will update listeners in the next episode.This week, we are stepping away from the analysis of killer confessions and interrogations and instead look at travesties of justice and the women and families that were destroyed by what was called Meadow’s law. The ‘law’ being that one sudden infant death in a family is a tragedy, two infant deaths in the same family is suspicious, and three must be murder until proven otherwise.

We have some news to share about Amanda.
