The case of Azaria Chamberlain, the young Australian girl who disappeared in 1980 near Uluru (Ayers Rock), remains one of the most controversial and heavily debated legal cases in Australian history. Azaria’s mother, Lindy Chamberlain, was initially convicted of her murder after she claimed that a dingo had taken her daughter. Despite Lindy’s insistence on the dingo story, her conviction was based on circumstantial evidence, leading to a media frenzy and widespread public doubt.
