‘Forgotten victim’ in Keli Lane saga speaks out

A 25-year-old woman, the adult daughter of convicted murderer Keli Lane, has spoken out about feeling like a 'forgotten victim' due to her mother's prolonged incarceration. In a letter shared with the Australian television program 'A Current Affair,' she expressed her desire for her mother's release on parole, emphasizing her wish to reconnect and spend meaningful time together. Keli Lane, currently serving an 18-year sentence for the 1996 murder of her infant daughter Tegan, has been denied parole under New South Wales' 'no body, no parole' law, which requires cooperation with authorities to locate victim remains. Her partner, Patrick Cogan, has publicly supported her claim of innocence, stating that Lane 'wouldn’t hurt a flea' and expressing confidence in their enduring relationship despite the legal proceedings.
