Gosh I don't remember the details, just that the family was exonerated. It was agreed that it was indeed possible for a child to be snatched and killed by a dingo. But the family went thru hell for a number of years.

Nope.

Some of her clothes, yes, but not her body.

There is little doubt that there was human intervention in the disposal of Baby Azaria's remains ... but there is EVEN LESS doubt that the baby was, in fact, taken by a dingo in the first instance.

The way we treated the Chamberlains was shameful - and I say that as one who was convinced of Lindy Chamberlain's guilt until the ineptitude of the Northern Territory Police was shown. (*)

For details, see http://www.arts.usyd.edu.au/departs/religion/Mythoz/Azaria.pdf or http://www.crimelibrary.com/forensics/serology/6.htm

NB .. in the first link, the 'dismembered torana' is the car that was taken apart by the NT police.

The police claimed to have found a spray of blood in in the front, where the passenger sat. They said that's where Lindy Chamberlain cut Baby Azaria's throat.

It later turned out to be noise-deadening paint.

[sigh]

Regards

GraC

(*) This case is one reason why I oppose the death penalty.

I was convinced of Lindy Chamberlain's guilt, and would cheerfully have seen her hang - but then found out I was wrong.
