AFTER SEEING THE NEWS

i wondered what you thought did the dingo kill the baby
or was it the parents or somebody or something else

WHO DID IT????? you decide

I have no idea on this one as I haven't read into the case at all. x

three quaters of me thinks the dingo did it
and the other quater has no idea

There's a lot to this case, I remember bits and pieces, from way back but then it was considered very unlikely that a dingo would have done it, but since then there have been incidents of dingo attacks that contradict the earlier opinions.

I think in this case like many others, mentioning no names lol, the couple came across as a bit 'odd' and that put even more doubt in people's minds?

maybe this will help you decide

?

remeber the case but guilty ?dont know as I dont know the habits of dingos,,,,,,I supose there is always going to be some that could injure a baby under certain circumstances,

"Since the Chamberlain case, proven cases of attacks on humans by dingoes have brought about a dramatic change in public opinion. It is now widely accepted that, as the first inquest concluded, Azaria probably was killed by a dingo and that her body could easily have been removed and eaten by a dingo, leaving little or no trace.

Crucial to the change in public opinion was a string of dingo attacks during the late 1990s on Fraser Island off the Queensland coast, the last refuge in Australia for isolated pure-breed wild dingoes. In the wake of these attacks, it emerged that there had been at least 400 documented dingo attacks on Fraser Island alone. Most were against children, but at least two were on adults.[26]

In April 1998, in a scenario strikingly similar to the story told by Lindy Chamberlain, a 13-month old girl was grabbed by a dingo and dragged from a picnic blanket at the Waddy Point camping area. In this case, the child was dropped when her father intervened."

i think it is possible the dingo did it, however ill wait for the investigation to see what that brings up x

i found a case where a 9 year old was killed by dingos
so its possible

it the how did the dog get the childs knitted jacket off
the found it with no blood on it years later

the baby was wearing it when it went missing
it was found half buried years later

but dingos like dogs bury things so maybe

I've seen one of my own dogs take a knitted cardigan off a baby sized doll, without even tearing it noticeably, border collie lol.

so if a dog can do it it is possible
Thank you Rose for that

my money is on the dingo wot dunnit!!!! after all, we've had cases of foxes in the UK attacking children

yes Ann who would of thought foxs
attaking kids in their own cot

It was a dingo. The media caused a great deal of trouble over this case in the '80's. The clothing found later was ripped and did have some blood stains. The bloodstains supposedly found in the car wasn't blood but a protective spray coating on the leather of the dashboard. They came across as cold and they are members of the Seventh Day Adventists so were seen to be 'strange'. All this was put into the minds of the public. Lindy Chamberlain is a rather odd woman even now but I don't believe she killed her baby.

morning Sue, its nice to get your veiw, being from that country x

Hi Stray :-) Lindy and Michael Chamberlain were pardoned so they are legally innocent. A missing tourist was found in a dingo lair and that is where they found Azaria's little jacket. It supported Lindy's story about a dingo. However it changed their lives forever. They were divorced and Lindy missed a good deal of her children's lives.

i feel for all of their family must of be an awful pressure
to them even after all this time

thank you sue for your valued input
it is good to hear your thoughts on the matter
and some very good facts x

Genuine question....

Did they ever send in the cadaver/blood dogs to see if they scented anything in the area in which the poor little one went missing? x

There is a lot to look through here including the original forensics and the retrial etc
