Azaria+Chamberlain

Azaria Chamberlain
 * On a camping holiday to Uluru, her parents claimed she was stolen from their tent by a dingo on the 17th August,1980.
 * The media portrayed Lindy in a negative light, as she did not act in the way a 'stereotypical' grieving mother does
 * Her mother, Lindy Chamberlain was charged with her murder and her father, Michael Chamberlain as an accessory
 * Later, Lindy Chamberlain was released from prison on 'compassionate grounds' after a piece of Azarias clothing was found in an area full of dingo lairs
 * The case is still unsolved, the report of a dingo attack is generally accepted
 * The case received high media coverage, and since the story has been made into a TV movie, feature film, TV miniseries, books and opera.
 * The trial is the most publicized in Australian history
 * It came as such a shock to the public as the story appeared far fetched and unlikely, creating alot of controversy and debate
 * The case evoked fears and emotions towards dingos, much similar to those associated to stingrays after the passing of Steve Irwin
