7. Australian coroner rules dingo was responsible for baby death 30 years ago

Settling a 1980 case that split the nation and led to a mistaken murder conviction, an Australian coroner ruled that a dingo took a baby from a campsite in the Outback, just as her mother said from the beginning.

The eyes of Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton and her ex-husband, Michael Chamberlain, welled with tears as the findings of the fourth inquest into the disappearance of their nine-week-old daughter, Azaria, were announced in court.

Lindy Chamberlain served more than three years in prison for the baby's death, but was later cleared and has always maintained that a wild dog took her.

“We're relieved and delighted to come to the end of this saga,” a tearful but smiling Mrs Chamberlain-Creighton told reporters outside the court in the northern city of Darwin.
