About this listen

In a quiet Australian suburb, the dreams of a young couple, Craig and Kathleen Folbigg, for a happy family turned into an unfolding nightmare. Beginning in 1989, their lives were shattered by an unthinkable series of events: the sudden, inexplicable deaths of their four infant children—Caleb, Patrick, Sarah, and Laura—over a decade1.... As each baby passed, often in their sleep and always in their mother's sole care, initial diagnoses like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) offered little comfort, leaving a lingering, chilling question: how could tragedy strike the same family not once, but four times?.... Amidst the parents' differing expressions of grief and the growing unease of investigators, the unsettling contents of Kathleen's personal diaries began to hint at a deeper, darker narrative, challenging the very notion of unfortunate coincidence.
