Convicted and Condemned: Australia’s Most Hated Mother and a Desert Nightmare in Las Vegas

from Tales From the Underworld · host Rachael Elizabeth, Kelly J. Sullivan, and Authentic True Crime

In this episode, we delve into two hauntingly controversial cases that captured headlines and ignited fierce debate. First, we explore the story of Kathleen Folbigg, once dubbed “Australia’s Most Hated Woman,” who was convicted of killing her four children—only to have science later call that verdict into question. Was she a cold-blooded killer or a mother wrongfully condemned?Then, we turn to Kirstin Lobato, a Nevada teenager whose life was upended when she was charged with a brutal murder she insisted she didn’t commit. With no physical evidence linking her to the crime scene and a timeline that didn’t quite add up, her case raises troubling questions about rushed justice and bias in the courtroom.Join us as we unravel the facts, flaws, and fallout from both cases—two women, worlds apart, united by questionable convictions and the high cost of being misunderstood by the justice system.
