When did the dingo eat the girl?
If this question is a reference to the infamous case of when a dingo took a baby, two-month-old Azaria Chamberlain was taken from her family's campsite on 17 August 1980. Initially, Azaria's mother was accused of murdering her baby daughter, but after Azaria's jumpsuit was found in a dingo lair in early November 1982, the evidence seemed to indicate that the baby girl had indeed been taken by a dingo.

Did a dingo eat a baby?
It is believed that, in 1980, two-month-old Azaria Chamberlain was taken from a camping ground near Uluru/Ayers Rock in central Australia. Her mother Lindy claimed that a dingo had stolen her baby. Though the baby was not found, her bloodstained clothes were found a week later by a tourist. At the first inquest into her death, it was found that the likely cause of Azaria's disappearance was a dingo attack. Police and prosecutors moved for a second inquest which began in September 1981. This time, the new finding was made that Azaria had been killed with a pair of scissors and held by a small adult hand until she stopped bleeding. Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murder on 29 October 1982, and her husband Michael was found guilty of being an accessory. Lindy Chamberlain was acquitted several years later after a British tourist fell to his death from Uluru. When searchers found his body 8 days later in an area full of dingo lairs, Azaria Chamberlain's missing jacket was also found. From this evidence, it can be assumed that dingoes did take and eat this baby.
Near what rock formation did Azaria Chamberlain disappear on a camping trip?

What movie is the quote 'maybe the dingo ate your baby' from?
Julia Louis Dreyfus, as Elaine in the TV show, Seinfeld, in 'The Stranded' episode, blows off an annoying party friend, chirping, 'Maybe the dingo ate your baby?'.The quote, 'A dingo took my baby' comes from the multi award-winning movie, 'A Cry in the Dark', directed by Fred Schepisi and starring Meryl Streep as Lindy Chamberlain and Sam Neill as Michael Chamberlain. The movie is based on the true story of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain whose baby, Azaria, disappeared on August 17, 1980, from the family's campsite in the desert at Uluru - a place sacred to the indigenous people of the area - in the Australian Northern Territory near Alice Springs. Azaria's body was never recovered.The Chamberlains were tried for the murder of their daughter who, the defense claimed, had been taken by an Australian native dog, a dingo, common to the area. The movie was based on John Bryson's book about these events, 'Evil Angels', and was originally released in Australia under that title.Lindy Chamberlain wasn't believed when she claimed a dingo had taken her baby. She was found guilty of murder in October 29, 1982, and sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor. Michael was found guilty as an accessory after the fact; his sentence was deferred.On February 7, 1986, Lindy was released from prison following the discovery of new evidence: a British hiker, David Brett, was killed in January 1986 in a fall at Uluru; investigating police, searching the area for remains which they feared might have been taken by dingos, found Azaria's missing jacket. This unquestionably proved Lindy Chamberlain's innocence and, on September 15, 1988, all convictions against the Chamberlains were quashed by the Northern Territory Court of Criminal Appeals.
Do you believe Lindy was guilty or innocent?
i think dingo took the azaria to sleep next to the track and leave blood in the tent
Do any animals eat humans?
There have been many cases of animals eating humans. For example, some shark attacks have resulted in the victim being eaten. Additionally, there have been more documented examples such as the Kali River goonch attacks, Azaria Chamberlain (aka "Dingo ate my baby"), and some wolf attacks.
What happened on 17th August in Australia?
Arguably the most significant event that happened in Australia on 17 August was the disappearance in 1980 of baby Azaria Chamberlain at Ayers Rock. Michael and Lindy Chamberlain and their three children had arrived at Ayers Rock just the day before. When baby Azaria disappeared, Lindy claimed that a dingo had stolen her baby. No trace of the child was ever found, although her bloodstained clothes were found a week later by another tourist. Controversy dogged the case for years. At the first inquest into her death, commencing in February 1981, it was found that the likely cause of Azaria's disappearance was a dingo attack. Police and prosecutors moved for a second inquest which was held in September 1981. This time, the new finding was made that Azaria had been killed with a pair of scissors and held by a small adult hand until she stopped bleeding. Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murder on 29 October 1982. Her acquittal came several years later when a British tourist fell to his death from the Rock. When his body was finally located 8 days later amid an area full of dingo lairs, Azaria Chamberlain's missing jacket was also found. New evidence was presented showing that the methods of testing previous evidence had been unreliable, and no conviction could be made on those grounds. Lindy was released, and eventually awarded AU$1.3 million in compensation for wrongful imprisonment.
What evidence released Lindy Chamberlain?
This was an interesting case. Four years after Lindy Chamberlain was declared guilty of the murder of her baby girl Azaria, new evidence leading to her acquittal was found quite by accident. A British tourist fell to his death during a climb on Ayers Rock/Uluru. A massive search ensued and his body was finally located 8 days later in an area full of dingo lairs. Within those lairs was found Azaria Chamberlain's missing jacket. New evidence was presented proving how earlier methods of testing evidence had been unreliable, and no conviction could be made on those grounds. Both Lindy and Michael Chamberlain were officially pardoned, Lindy was released from gaol, and eventually awarded AU$1.3 million in compensation for wrongful imprisonment.
