An Australian coroner has opened an inquest into the notorious case of Azaria Chamberlain, the nine-week-old baby who vanished from her tent in 1980 during a family vacation to Ayers Rock, the giant red monolith now known by its Aboriginal name Uluru.

Azaria's mother, Lindy Chamberlain, was convicted and later cleared of killing her daughter. She has always said a dingo took her baby. Northern Territory Coroner Elizabeth Morris opened a fourth inquest into the case on Friday in the territory capital, Darwin. She will hear new evidence of dingo attacks on children before issuing her finding on how Azaria died. Australians have followed the case closely since it began, and most have strong opinions. Although public support for Lindy has grown over the years, many still doubt that a dingo could have killed Azaria. The case is the most infamous and divisive legal drama in Australian history, and inspired the Meryl Streep film, “A Cry in the Dark.”
