But - were they taken out of context? We hear Kathleen Folbigg answer questions about what she really meant in these entries. We also meet a linguistic expert who has worked for the CIA and FBI who has developed a computer program, to analyse texts for evidence of guilt, authenticity, hidden motives and lies.
