In 2003 Kathleen Folbigg was convicted of murdering her four babies and spent the next twenty years in prison. Her childhood friend Tracy Chapman, convinced of her innocence, began advocating for her with a ferocious tenacity. New evidence was examined, advances in medical understanding were presented to court, and ultimately Kathleen was released, pardoned and exonerated. This extraordinary story is captured in Inside Out. This book tells the story of their lives over decades together, a remarkable fight for justice, and a friendship between women that never wavered. Join Kathleen and Tracy to be inspired by what two women, together, can achieve against the world...and how their struggle continues. Moderated by Canberra’s own Alex Sloan.
Tracy Chapman is a multidisciplinary expert in marketing, education and environmental management. She has postgraduate degrees in counselling, environmental science, education and animal-assisted interventions, and is studying a double Masters in Counselling & Education (Autism). She’s a passionate WIRES wildlife rescue volunteer and brings her love of lifelong learning to all she does. In Inside Out Tracy describes with passion and insight the fight she took up to help free her friend, Kathleen Folbigg, and shares her hopes that their story will prevent other women from suffering as Kath did over those long twenty years.
Kathleen Folbigg was wrongfully convicted in 2003 of murdering her four infant children. She was pardoned in 2023 after twenty years in prison, following a long campaign for justice by her supporters, and had her convictions overturned on appeal a few months later. She now lives in Newcastle with her rescue dog, Snowie.
