Baby Daughter That Vanishes Into Thin Air On A Camping Trip Causes Decades Of Controversy

Those weren’t the only cases, either—the list went on. In 2002, a dingo maimed a four-year-old boy before his father intervened and scared the dog away. This research made something very clear…

If the pattern of hunting, isolating, and attacking juvenile human beings was observable, then it changed just how outrageous Lindy’s original claims really were. Maybe the Chamberlains weren’t liars after all? Perhaps this sort of behavior from wild dogs was more common than anyone thought…

In 2012, the State finally announced that both the coroner and experts agreed with the Chamberlains’ initial story: a dingo had, indeed, killed baby Azaria. It was a turning point for the people of Australia…

Up until that moment, most of the people in Australia had scorned the Chamberlain family for what they saw as egregious claims and a murderous coverup. Now they knew the truth, and they could finally mourn for the loss of this little girl.

Sadly, the strain of 37 years under the gaze of the public was too much for Lindy and Michael’s marriage. They divorced in 1991, but were both present at the announcement from the State that effectively cleared their names in 2012. They remain good friends to this day.

Can you imagine a simple family camping trip turning into a decades-long, grief-stricken nightmare? How awful. Thank goodness these parents were finally cleared.
