SYDNEY — The tabloids in Australia called Kathleen Folbigg a murderer of innocent babies — the nation’s “worst female serial killer.” In 2003, a court sentenced her to 40 years in prison for smothering her four children before each had turned 2.
But all along, Folbigg has insisted that she is innocent, and that her children were all victims of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
