Summary
In 1999, Keli Lane contacted an adoption agency to ask about placing her newborn with a family. As much as she wanted to raise the child, she knew she wasn’t in the position to do so. But the information Keli provided the adoption agency about herself and the baby’s father didn’t add up. The lies unraveled and led to a missing persons investigation.
This case is *disputed*
