After more than a decade behind bars, Keli Lane was preparing for the possibility of walking free in early 2023. But a proposed new 'no body no parole' law is threatening her chance of freedom.
In 2010, Lane was convicted of murdering her 2-day-old daughter, Tegan. Lane was 21 when the infant disappeared and has always insisted she did not kill the baby girl.
The former Australian water polo representative is adamant she left Auburn Hospital on September 14, 1996, and handed Tegan over to her father - a man with whom she had a casual relationship.
But years after Tegan disappeared, police investigated the child's whereabouts. Lane, then a school sports teacher, was eventually charged with murder and found guilty. Baby Tegan's body has never been found.
Next year, Lane, now 47, will be eligible for parole, but the new laws could see her remain behind bars.
