She is the daughter of Les Kane, a Melbourne painter and docker and reputed criminal who was murdered in his family home on 19 October 1978.

Moran was reported to have shot Carl Williams in the stomach during an argument in Gladstone Park on 13 October 1999, giving rise to lengthy violent turf wars known as the Melbourne gangland killings.

Moran was considered by many to be a "dead man walking" and when paroled from prison in September 2001 was allowed to leave Australia due to fears for his life.

[5] A coroner found that Jason Moran and Graham Kinniburgh were present during Gangitano's murder in January 1998.

[7] Security footage from a neighbouring hotel showed the van they had driven to the football grounds and a figure running away from the vehicle.

[10] On 28 February 2007, Carl Williams pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court of Victoria to the murder of Moran (but not of Barbaro).
