It seams, much was withheld from the prosecution team, this article is a well worth read.
Reports questioning whether the baby was in fact Azaria were backed up by the opinions of two senior pediatricians
who believe the child in the photo to be between a three-to-five month old rather than Azaria, only nine weeks old. This opinion was based on the appearance of the child, her weight, expression and ability to support herself. (10 Aust. J. Cultural Studies, and Perth Daily News, March2,1984).Azaria did not die here because she has never been. As the young Conservation Commission Officer stationed in the Yulara Visitors' Centre said when questioned about the matter: Azaria who?'
Uluru was in the transition phase of being handed over to our traditional landowners at the time of Azarias disappearance.
Now, we aren't talking about the sentiments of some internet conspiracy theorist here, Dianne Johnson works in the Anthropology Department at the Sydney University.

And a number of academics agree with her.

What do I think happened?
Not sure, though I have to say there's more to this than meets the eye at first glance.
It's almost as if Lindy intentionally played the role of the persecuted witch, knowing she'd be condemned by the media and courts ...and later compensated. Note the emphasis placed on our deemed misogynist press and legal system.
Perhaps another Picnic at hanging rock?

The National Library of Australia has a small collection of items relating to Azaria, such as the birth detail record for Azaria Chamberlain and her hospital identification bracelet, as well as a manuscript collection that includes some 20,000 documents, including some of the Chamberlain family's correspondence as well as a large number of letters from the general public.
On 17 December 2011, a spokesman for the Department of Justice in Australia's Northern Territory announced that a fourth inquest into the incident was to be begin. No explanation for the action has been given-Wiki
Azaria Chantel Loren Chamberlain (1980-1980), missing infant, was born on 11 June 1980 at Mount Isa, Queensland, third of four children of New Zealand-born parents Michael Leigh Chamberlain, Seventh Day Adventist pastor, and his wife Alice Lynne (Lindy), née Murchison.
Uh, oh... another née.
Would you sell your deceased infants hospital bracelet and birth documents, along with a large range of other cherished possessions to a museum?
The whole trilogy smacks of BS.
America pulled off a moon landing, and we got stuck with this morbid muck. Bugger!
On feminism and faith...
Feminist Ellen G. White was instrumental to the founding of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and is officially considered a prophet by Seventh-day Adventists.

I was born a few years before 'Azaria' and my hospital bracelet yields so much more information than hers, ie, Name, date, weight, time of birth , Dr's full name, and a patient reference number.
