Azaria Chamberlain Born
Azaria Chantel Loren Chamberlain was the third child of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain. Her name – of Hebrew origin - means "helped by God". -
Put To Bed
Around 8pm, Lindy put 10 month old Azaria and 4 year Reagan to bed in the tent. She rejoined the others about 10 minutes later. -
Azaria Goes Missing
A few minute after Lindy rejoins the others,they hear Azaria cry and Lindy goes to check on her. She is not in the tent. Lindy cries out: "My God, my God, the dingo's got my baby!" Three hundred people, including Aboriginal trackers, search the area but find nothing. -
Her Clothes are Found
Azaria's bloodstained jumpsuit, booties, nappy and singlet are found near the base of the Rock, but not her matinee jacket. -
Blood Found In Car
Discovery of large quantities of blood in the now-dismantled family car. -
Lindy is Charged
After new forensic evidence – some of it related to bloodstains - is presented at a second inquest, Coroner Gerry Galvin commits Lindy to stand trial charged with murdering Azaria. Michael Chamberlain is charged as an accessory after the fact. -
New Evidence Presented
Biologist Joy Kuhl says the blood in the Torana is from an infant. An expert says it would be impossible for a baby's head to fit inside a dingo's mouth. -
Lindy Guilty
Lindy is found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Michael receives an 18-month suspended sentence. -
The Matinee is Found
Chamberlain solicitor Stuart Tipple is tipped off that Azaria's missing matinee jacket has been found during a search for the body of a fallen British climber at Ayers Rock. -
Chamberlains Released
After a 14-month Royal Commission, Justice Trevor Morling clears the Chamberlains. He slams the evidence offered by Joy Kuhl and other key prosecution witnesses. The Northern Territory government offers the Chamberlains a pardon.
