The ‘Dingo Baby’ Case took place in Australia in 1980 involving the disappearance of nine-week-old, Azaria Chamberlain from a campsite near Uluru. Azaria's mother, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, claimed a dingo had snatched her baby, but doubts quickly arose, leading to a controversial legal process.
Lindy was initially charged with murder, accused of fabricating the dingo story. The case garnered media attention and divided public opinion. Forensic evidence was presented to support the prosecution's theory, but all the while Lindy fiercely maintained her innocence. In 1982, she was convicted of murder, while her husband was found guilty of being an accessory.
The case underwent appeals, and in 1986, new evidence emerged when Azaria's jacket was found in a dingo den near Uluru. This supported Lindy's claim, leading to her release in 1988 – after having spent more than three years in prison!
