Introducing: The Demonisation Of Lindy Chamberlain

While camping on a cold night in the outback in 1980, a young mother’s nine week old baby girl was snatched and killed by a dingo. This single horrifying event would make Lindy Chamberlain a household name, thrusting her into a media frenzy and disastrously mishandled legal proceedings.  But how does the spirit of a woman crushed by tragedy, accused of murder and betrayed by the system recover? And how does the nation which was so quick to condemn her reconcile its mistake? Support the show: https://www.mamamia.com.au/mplus/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
