A recent law has cast doubt on whether convicted baby killer Keli Lane could be released from jail at a parole meeting this week.

Legal experts say there's a slim chance convicted baby killer Keli Lane will be granted parole when a new law is tested later this week.

Despite extensive searches, the man and child were never found and Lane was found guilty before a jury in 2010. "Keli has been caught up in this and it's going to be a really interesting test to see how the parole board view this case in light of these new rules," University of Newcastle Criminologist Doctor Xanthe Mallett said.

Detectives haven't spoken to Lane since the early 2000s and have no plans to again unless she has information for them.
