The Baby, The Dingo, and The Lie
Notas do episódio
On a cold August night in 1980, nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain vanished from a campsite near Uluru, prompting Lindy Chamberlain's famous cry: "The dingo's got my baby." What followed was a decades-long saga of sensational media coverage, flawed forensic science, and public hysteria that culminated in wrongful convictions.
After years of legal battles, inquiries, and the discovery of missing evidence, the Chamberlains were ultimately exonerated and Azaria's death was officially attributed to a dingo in 2012. This episode explores confirmation bias, junk science, and the heavy human cost of mass judgment.
