Azaria Chamberlain inquest reopened in Australia after new dingo information

Lindy Chamberlain’s plight, depicted by Meryl Streep in the 1988 film, divided
the nation.

Some sympathised with her loss and subsequent treatment through the courts;
others regarded her as cold and refused to accept that a dingo would snatch
a baby.

An initial inquest in 1981 found that a dingo took the baby, but a second
inquest in 1982 found that Lindy Chamberlain should be tried for murder and
that her husband Michael should be charged as an accessory. A third inquest
in 1995 returned an open verdict.

The new inquest is due to begin on February 24.

Michael Chamberlain said he and Lindy, from whom he has since been divorced,
hoped to establish forever that Azaria was taken by a dingo.

“I am incredibly gratified,” he told ABC Radio. “It’s been 31
years now and I just hope this time it will be the ultimate verdict which
we’ve been looking for, for this length of time.”
