Summary:

This episode we delve into the complex and tragic story of Keli Lane, a woman whose life was marked by a series of pregnancies, secrets, and ultimately, the disappearance of her child, Tegan. The discussion explores Keli's early life, her athletic career, the circumstances surrounding her pregnancies, the investigation into Tegan’s disappearance, and the subsequent legal proceedings. The conversation highlights the impact of family dynamics, societal expectations, and the failures of the legal system in addressing Keli's situation. Ultimately, the inquest concluded that Tegan was most likely dead, but the lack of evidence leaves many questions unanswered.
