Coroner rules dingo to blame for Australian baby's death
June 12, 2012

(CNN) -- A coroner ruled Tuesday that a dingo, a wild dog native to Australia, caused the death of a baby more than 30 years ago.

Azaria Chamberlain was just two months old when she disappeared from a tent during a family holiday to Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, sparking one of the country's most sensational and enduring murder mysteries.

The girl's mother, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, long maintained that a dingo took her baby, even as she was sentenced to life in jail for daughter's murder, a conviction that was later quashed.

Her cries of a "dingo's got my baby" were immortalized in the 1988 film "A Cry in the Dark," starring Meryl Streep who earned an Oscar nomination for the role.
