At 51 years old, Lane has been observed on a specially supervised day release from the high-security confines of Silverwater jail, accompanied by her boyfriend, Patrick Cogan.
Cogan has contested his dismissal by filing a dispute with the Fair Work Commission.
In 2010, Lane was convicted of the 1996 murder of her newborn daughter, Tegan, leading to a sentence that includes a minimum non-parole period of 13 years and five months.
The former water polo star has consistently asserted her innocence while being moved between several of New South Wales’ most secure prisons.
Her request for parole was rejected in 2024 due to the state’s “no body, no parole” legislation.
Tegan’s remains have never been found.
“In circumstances where Tegan’s body has never been found, the offender’s case in respect of release to parole, has been determined solely by reference to s 135A of the Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Act 1999, which incorporates the ‘no body, no parole’ laws,” the NSW State Parole Authority said.
“The Authority is not satisfied that the offender has co-operated satisfactorily in police investigations, or other actions, to identify the location of Tegan.”
Her prison term is due to finish in December 2028.
Lane tried to appeal her conviction after being found guilty in 2010, however that appeal was dismissed.
