Join Carola Vinuesa Live: The Genetics That Changed the Course of Justice 🧬

In conversation with Rachel Sylvester View in browser Dear friend, We're inviting you to a very special Observer event — a live conversation with award-winning journalist Rachel Sylvester, the voice behind the gripping podcast The Lab Detective, executive producer Basia Cummings, and the groundbreaking scientist Professor Carola Vinuesa — whose discovery helped free Kathleen Folbigg. The series tells the extraordinary story of Folbigg, once labelled "Australia's worst female serial killer" after the sudden deaths of her four infant children. Convicted and imprisoned for years, she seemed destined to spend most of the rest of her life behind bars — until Carola's pioneering genetic research uncovered the truth. In this exclusive event Rachel will share how she investigated the case, Basia will reflect on bringing the story to life, and Carola will reveal how her discovery exposed one of the most shocking miscarriages of justice in recent history — and what it means for the future of genetic evidence in our courts. 📍 Location: The Observer Newsroom 📅 Date: Monday 8 September 🕕 Time: 18:30 - 19:30 BST Spaces are limited — RSVP now to secure your place.
