The disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain - an event that occurred on August 17, 1980 in Australia , related to the missing girls at the age of nine weeks while traveling with their parents ( Eng. Azaria Chamberlain , June 11, 1980 - August 17, 1980). According to parents, Lindy Chamberlain and Michael Chamberlain, the girl was dragged from the tent by a dingo dog.
A week later, tourist Wally Goodwin discovered Azaria's bloodied clothes near the dingo's den.
The first investigation confirmed the statement of the parents. On the basis of the second investigation, the mother was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, and the father received a suspended sentence as an accomplice. Their conviction was influenced by public opinion (both parents belonged to the Seventh-day Adventist church , which Australia has a negative attitude to), but the accidental discovery in the desert of a piece of Azaria’s clothing justified both.
Current Status
On June 12, 2012, the case of the disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain was completely completed. An investigator in the Northern Territory issued a death certificate for Azariah, in which the official cause of death was an attack by a dingo dog [1] [2] [3] .
