Once Called "Australia's Worst Female Serial Killer." Kathleen Folbigg Sets The Record Straight
She was once called "Australia’s worst female serial killer." Kathleen Folbigg spent 20 years imprisoned for the deaths of her four children, convicted by a flawed system. In 2023, science proved she was innocent, leading to an immediate pardon and release. In this deeply personal interview, Kathleen speaks about the trauma of her long ordeal and the bittersweet reality of her freedom. She reveals what it was like to be suddenly released, the pain of seeing her private diaries weaponised, and the enduring grief of belonging to the "unfortunate club of the childless mum." This is a powerful, raw conversation about survival and the lifelong consequences of a devastating miscarriage of justice.

In 2023, In the Dark joined The New Yorker and in 2024, it released “The Runaway Princesses,” a four-part series that asks why the women in Dubai’s royal family keep trying to run away.

When 80-year-old Alfred Douglas invites a near stranger to stay, his family thinks nothing of it. Alfred is a world-renowned expert in tarot and his students often visit his extensive library at his home in Rye. This is how he learned from his teacher and why now he runs a magic school - the Order of the Morning Star. When the pandemic hits, Alfred and his guest, Maura, provide each other with much-needed companionship. But when it’s all over, things change. To Alfred’s family, it seems Maura’s interest in magic is becoming less about knowledge, and more about power. As Alfred is slowly isolated from everyone he knows, the family can only watch on - do they have any right to intervene? Fearing for Alfred’s safety they start to keep a diary of what is happening to him. They’re right to be concerned, Alfred is in danger.
