In this episode of Crimetime Inc., we delve into the infamous Azaria Chamberlain case, a mysterious incident that shocked Australia and the world in 1980. Nine-week-old baby Azaria vanished from an outback campsite at Uluru, leading her mother, Lindy Chamberlain, to claim a dingo had taken her. This assertion divided public opinion, with some believing the dingo story and others suspecting Lindy's involvement. Hosts explore the evidence, including dingo behavior and subsequent attacks, forensic findings, and public perception shaped by media portrayal and the Chamberlains' Seventh-day Adventist faith. The initial trial's flawed evidence and media frenzy led to Lindy's wrongful murder conviction. However, a significant turning point came with the Morling Report in 1986, which criticized the investigation and highlighted new evidence, leading to Lindy's release and the exoneration of the Chamberlains. The episode underscores themes of media influence, societal prejudices, and the enduring quest for truth in judicial processes, illustrating the case's lasting impact on Australian society and legal reforms.

It is truly one of the greatest miscarriages of justice to date.

Em 17 de agosto de 1980, a bebê Azaria Chamberlain, de 2 meses, desapareceu enquanto sua família acampava em Uluru, na Austrália. Sua mãe, Lindy Chamberlain, sempre disse que um dingo havia levado sua filha. Levaram mais de 30 anos para que sua história fosse confirmada.

Rerun. When two month-old Azaria Chamberlain was taken from her tent by a dingo on the night of August 17th, 1980, the majority of the Australian public believed that her mother, Lindy Chamerlain, had done the deed herself. Prosecuting authorities charged her with murder. She was imprisoned, but in 2012, a coroner found Azaria's death was “the result of being attacked and taken by a dingo”. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly ask why the Australian public were so inclined to disbelieve Lindy's version of events; revisit the injustices perpetrated against the Chamberlains; and consider how on Earth the phrase ‘A Dingo's Got My Baby!' became a comedy meme… Content Warning: Includes detailed description of true crime and harm against children Further Reading: • ‘Horrifying story of Lindy Chamberlain – jailed for murder after her baby daughter was ‘eaten by a dingo' on camping trip' (The Sun, 2020): https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13418625/lindy-chamberlain-jailed-murder-baby-dingo/ • ‘The Messed Up True Story Of “A Dingo Got My Baby”' (Grunge, 2020): https://www.grunge.com/291293/the-messed-up-true-story-of-a-dingo-got-my-baby/ • ‘Lindy Chamberlain Reflects On The Horror Of Losing Baby Azaria' (The Project, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2PV4kD5-dg&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Ftheretrospectors.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title Love the show?

Central Station - Stories from Outback Australian Cattle Stations
Tanya Heaslip's childhood on an outback cattle station in Central Australia was full of adventures and extremes, so it's no surprise that her first job as a lawyer was the same.The job? Junior Instructing Solicitor for the Crown on the Lindy Chamberlain Inquiry – the inquiry which ultimately saw all convictions against Lindy Chamberlain quashed. In this episode, Tanya speaks about her experience working on the Chamberlain inquiry and how it shaped her career as a lawyer. We explore how Tanya's upbring in the 1960s led her to choose a sensible career over her passions, and how she found the courage to follow her heart later on in life.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/central-station.

Subscribe to MPlus for unlimited access to Extraordinary Stories Demonised by the press. Vilified by the country. The subject of gossip and innuendo. From today's viewpoint, the story of Lindy Chamberlain is a brutal reflection of 1980s Australia. Beneath the layers of lies and injustice, it's a story of a mother who didn't behave, look, speak or grieve the way we wanted her to after the incomprehensible loss of a child. It's also the story of one woman, strong enough to endure it all. In this season of Extraordinary Stories, we're unravelling how a young woman went from mother to wrongly convicted murderer, and why the story of Azaria Chamberlain's disappearance continues to fascinate us to this day.

Subscribe to MPlus for unlimited access to Extraordinary Stories Alice Lynn Chamberlain went from living a quiet, family-focused life to being Australia's most despised woman. For two years, the press had vilified Lindy and the hatred of the public only made the prosecutor's job easier; to convince a jury that Lindy, not a dingo, had killed Azaria Chamberlain. On this episode of The Demonisation Of Lindy Chamberlain, we'll learn what happened when Lindy had her day in court, what put an innocent woman behind bars, and how was a jury persuaded to condemn her based on misleading evidence.

In this week's episode, we discuss the story of Lindy Chamberlain and the death of her daughter Azaria Chamberlain. Support us on Ko-Fi Follow us on Instagram -- SOURCES “A Dingo's Got My Baby: Trial By Media” NYT Documentary, 2014 “Lindy Chamberlain: The True Story” - Mini-Series, 2020 Murderpedia.org -- (And Just Like That spoilers from 16:25 to 23:50) (Story of Lindy Chamberlain starts at 24:50)
“A dingoes got my baby!”. You may have heard this phrase in a parody in pop culture over the years. But do you know the tragic true story behind it? !Warning! This story contains content relating to the death of an infant. Forty-one years ago, the Chamberlain family went on Holiday to the Australian outback. But on their second night, their idyllic getaway turned to tragedy when their young child was taken in the night from their tent. What ensued was a modern-day Australian witch hunt, one in which a mother was vilified – and painted by the media as a monster who was desperate to cover up a horrendous crime. For thirty years Lindy Chamberlain and her family stood firmly in their account of what happened on August 17th, 1980, maintaining their innocence for thirty years – maintaining that their hands were clean … because the dingo did it.

A family camping trip in 1980 ended with a cry that became a punchline, and a mother accused of murder. It would take three decades for the Australian government to acknowledge what Lindy Chamberlain had been saying all along — that her nine-week-old daughter Azaria had been killed by dingoes. But in that time, the shoddy investigation and sensational media coverage ensured there was more than one victim in this case.
