Episode notes
The Night Azaria Vanished
- Lindy Chamberlain screamed, "the dingo's got my baby," after seeing a dingo run from the tent.
- Trackers found dingo paw prints and specks of blood, and a 300-person search followed immediately.
How Behavior And Belief Became Suspicion
- Media and public suspicion grew from Lindy's calm demeanor and Seventh-day Adventist faith.
- Rumors and misinterpreted details (black dress, religious theories) multiplied into a narrative of guilt.
Junk Forensics Shaped The Trial
- Prosecutors built a case from many weak forensic claims rather than a coherent alternate scenario.
- Tests and expert pronouncements (fetal hemoglobin, scissors marks) carried outsized influence despite later being debunked.
