Australia: The Northern Territory Coroner Elizabeth Morris will open a new inquest into the death of Azaria Chamberlain, more than 3 decadess after her disappearance from her parent’s tent at a campsite near Uluru in Central Australia’s outback. Morris has cited new information from the Chamberlains’s counsel about dingo attacks as a reason for reopening the inquiry. Azaria was two months old when she disappeared in August 1980. Lindy Chamberlain said at the time she had seen a dingo leave the tent, a claim that was greeted skeptically by many in a case that gripped the attention of the nation. Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murdering Azaria and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1982. Her then-husband Michael was given a suspended sentence after being found guilty of being an accessory after the fact. D★D
