http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/coroner-to-rule-on-baby-azarias-death/story-e6frea6u-1226392540239It's official - coroner finds a dingo took Lindy Chamberlain's baby daughter AzariaA DINGO was responsible for the death of Azaria Chamberlain in 1980, a Northern Territory coroner has found.
A Darwin coroner has ruled that Azaria Chamberlain was likely killed by a dingo, bringing a close to a three-decade long mystery.
Coroner Elizabeth Morris told a packed courtroom on Tuesday that a dingo was to blame for the attack at Uluru, which originally saw Azaria's mother Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton jailed for murder and her husband Michael given a suspended sentence for being an accessory after the fact.
Both were later exonerated after a royal commission in 1987.
During the inquest both the counsel assisting the coroner, Rex Wild, QC, and the lawyer representing Azaria's parents, Stuart Tipple, agreed a dingo was the most likely cause of the baby's death.
The finding means Ms Chamberlain-Creighton, as she is known after remarrying, and her ex-husband Michael Chamberlain have finally won recognition that a dingo killed their child.
The inquest was the fourth into the death of Azaria since the nine-week-old child disappeared on a camping trip.
The decision will mean that Azaria's death certificate will be changed.
This would have to be one of the most polarising cases in Australian history, and I don't think this decision will change many peoples minds over what they think happened. Personally I don't think it was a dingo myself, but I'm sure there are people out there who know a lot more about the case than I do as it happened before I was born

Should be option 3 - None of us will ever know.
That's what I'd vote for.

The Dingo was framed - again!
The Forensic Dentist called by the Crown in the original case was my local Dentist, and a Lecturer in Forensic Dentistry at the Dental School in SA.
His comment:
The holes in the clothing were made with something that had a sharper edge than any teeth.

Too much evidence was twisted to make them look guilty. SO called babies blood turned out to be sound deadener etc.
I wasn't there so I'm going with the coroners final finding.

Pretty low by the opposition government calling for an apology from the government. How low can politics get in this country.

My theory at the time was that the older child knocked off the baby in a fit of sibling rivalry, and that the parents tried to cover it up.
At this stage I really have no idea, but I'm sceptical about the Dingo story.

I'm sort of with you on that theory unless there was an accident involving some negligence. The fact that neither one of them have dobbed the other one in for anything despite the turmoil they've gone through tilts me towards their innocence.
