THAT DINGO STILL STEALING BABIES FROM ALL OVER AUSTRALIA
December 19 2011
Canberra, Australia – It’s little more than a joke to most people now, but thirty years ago the disappearance of baby Azaria Chamberlin in the Australian was a real story, and a tragic one, that was only amplified by the public outrage.
Despite their insistence that a dingo had snuck into their tent and stolen their nine-week old baby, the Chamberlin’s were widely believed to have murdered their child and were eventually imprisoned for the crime. When new evidence was uncovered, the couple was freed from prison but not from public suspicion. To this day, many people throughout Australia still believe the baby was in fact murdered by her parents and not by a rogue Dingo.
Now the father, Michael Chamberlain, who was convicted as an accessory after the fact, is looking to finally put the case to rest and clear his name once and for all, despite no one finding clear evidence one way or the other, determined to put the blame on that dastardly dingo once and for all.
“I don't think people open inquests without thinking there's good reason for it and that means there'd have to be a change from the status quo of the open finding that was in 1995. It's now looking at dingoes, not people, as to the cause of death,” Chamberlin told the Associated Press. 
Chamberlin has spent a number of years trying to find the dingo that took his baby, but has had little success in tracking down the culprit.
It’s believed likely that the guilty dingo moved from the area shortly after the attack and is likely now deceased making it very unlikely that he or she will ever be convicted.
Other children have been attacked by dingoes in the same area in the years since. It’s not clear why people continue to bring their kids to the region.
“This has possibly the most controversial case in Australian history. It was notorious in its time and it has spanned generations, largely because the people involved have kept it in the news. Much of the sentiment has turned to the story the family told, but there will always be a lingering doubt because the guilty dingo was never caught,” said Scrape TV Legal analyst Gabe Hawthorne. “It’s really tragic but the worst part is that the police spent so much time focussing on the family and not on the dingo. That allowed him to get away with it, and now it’s probably way too late for anything to be done about it.”
Dingoes live about 14 years.
“Now the people of region are reaping very painful rewards from that ignorance, that myopic view of the crime. Children are constantly being attacked and while it’s probably not the same dingo, his success likely made the rest of them much bolder, realizing that they wouldn’t even be pursued never mind convicted,” continued Hawthorne. “Of course, that’s assuming it really was a dingo. I mean the family is really, really insistent, sometimes more than is natural and that raises some suspicion. I mean he claims to have been trying to find the real killer for years but there is no evidence he has done so and that, well, that speaks for itself I think.”
Officials do recommend not camping near dingo habitats, especially if you have young children or lack of murder in your heart.
