Kaitlyn’s Baby
A pregnant woman seeks help. But nothing is as it seems.
Kaitlyn Braun, a pregnant young woman in crisis, takes dozens of birth workers through an escalating series of disasters – rape, baby loss, and even a coma. One by one, the doulas struggle to support her, to grieve with her, and even to save her life as they are led down a distressing path. And then truth comes out.
In this six-part true crime series, Sarah Treleaven untangles a complex web of lies and deception to ask who Kaitlyn Braun really is and why she does the things she does. It is a story that has puzzled legal experts and one that raises intricate moral and ethical questions. This is not your average con. Kaitlyn Braun is not your usual scammer.
Kaitlyn’s victims never want any of this to happen to anyone again. But at the same time, they do not know what they could have done differently.
