The Murder of Baby Tegan

Keli Lane was convicted in 2010 for the 1996 murder of her newborn, Tegan. The case is considered unusual because Lane, a champion water polo player, concealed multiple pregnancies and adoptions from those around her. The investigation began when authorities noticed a lack of records for Tegan, leading to an extensive search for the child and her alleged father. During the trial, Lane chose not to give evidence, and the prosecution argued her lies demonstrated a guilty conscience. Despite the disturbing nature of the case, psychiatric evaluations found no mental disorder in Lane, which makes the events even more perplexing. The police's early handling of the investigation was also questionable.
