When Kathleen Folbigg was spectacularly released after 20 years in prison, the woman labelled Australia’s ‘worst serial killer’ had her convictions overturned. Was she the victim of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice? Investigative journalist Quentin McDermott and forensic anthropologist Xanthé Mallett dissect the case with author and journalist Tim Ayliffe.
