EP. -1755 - KELI LANE: THE OLYMPIC HOPEFUL, THE SECRET PREGNANCIES, AND THE MISSING BABY
Reality Life with Kate CaseyShow Notes
Who killed baby Tegan Lane, or is she still alive? In 1996, Keli Lane walked out of a Sydney hospital with her two-day-old daughter, and no one has confirmed seeing Tegan since. Keli was a water polo standout from the beach suburb of Manly, a police officer’s daughter with Olympic dreams, and she had hidden multiple pregnancies from her family, her boyfriend and her teammates. In this episode, Kate walks through the case pregnancy by pregnancy, from the social worker who noticed a gap in the records in 1999 to the decade-long search for a man named Andrew Norris and the murder trial that convicted Keli with no body, no witness and no cause of death. She also covers how a 2022 law has kept her behind bars past her parole date. The case is the subject of Exposed: The Case of Keli Lane, a three-part documentary that began with a letter Keli wrote from prison, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Angelo Pizzo, the screenwriter of Hoosiers and Rudy, returns for part two of a conversation about two of the greatest sports films ever made.

He also opens up about working with Gene Hackman, who arrived on set convinced Hoosiers would end his career. He discusses the half hour that had to be cut from the film, how Jerry Goldsmith came to score both movies for almost nothing, and why Rudy’s theme became one of the most recognizable pieces of music in sports. Angelo also shares the casting of Sean Astin, Ned Beatty and Jon Favreau, how Bob Knight inspired Norman Dale, and the story behind his newest and most personal film, Bloomington.
