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.\nProsecuting 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".\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly ask why the Australian public were so inclined to disbelieve Lindy\u2019s version of events; revisit the injustices perpetrated against the Chamberlains; and consider how on Earth the phrase \u2018A Dingo\u2019s Got My Baby!\u2019 became a comedy meme...\xa0\xa0\nContent Warning: Includes detailed description of true crime and harm against children\nFurther Reading:\n\u2022 \u2018Horrifying story of Lindy Chamberlain - jailed for murder after her baby daughter was 'eaten by a dingo' on camping trip\u2019 (The Sun, 2020): https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13418625/lindy-chamberlain-jailed-murder-baby-dingo/\n\u2022 \u2018The Messed Up True Story Of "A Dingo Got My Baby"\u2019 (Grunge, 2020): https://www.grunge.com/291293/the-messed-up-true-story-of-a-dingo-got-my-baby/\n\u2022\xa0'Lindy Chamberlain Reflects On The Horror Of Losing Baby Azaria' (The Project, 2020):\xa0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2PV4kD5-dg\nFor bonus material and to support the show, visit\xa0Patreon.com/Retrospectors\nWe'll be back tomorrow!
