THE DINGO BABY CASE. The Death of Azaria Chamberlain

Paperback. On the night of August 17, 1980, nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain disappeared from the family tent in the Australian desert. Her parents ran out into the cold night shouting that a dingo - a wild dog - had taken their child. Her body was never found, but a search revealed a bloodstained bundle of baby clothes. The inquest decided that a dingo had indeed killed Azaria. For the Chamberlains the nightmare seemed to be over - until new forensic evidence raised the awful possibility that Mrs Chamberlain herself had cut the throat of her infant child. On October 29, Mrs Chamberlain, now 8-months pregnant, the wife of a Seventh-Day Adventist minister, was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. This is the story of the investigation and trial. 235pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Includes loosely inserted newspaper cutting, of an article written in February 1986, by the author, on the case. Lightly browned pp. and sunned covers. Vg+ with no creasing.
