The key evidence used against Lindy Chamberlain in the case of her daughter Azaria's disappearance in 1980 was the discovery of what appeared to be blood in the family car, as well as the claim by a forensic expert that a pair of scissors found at the scene of the disappearance matched cuts on Azaria's clothing. Additionally, the prosecution argued that Lindy's demeanor and actions after the disappearance were inconsistent with that of a grieving mother.
There were also eyewitness accounts that claimed to have seen a dingo with a bundle in its mouth around the time of Azaria's disappearance, which the police initially rejected as unreliable. However, as more evidence came to light, including the discovery of Azaria's clothing near a dingo den, the theory that a dingo was responsible for Azaria's death gained credibility. Ultimately, Lindy Chamberlain was convicted and later exonerated after new evidence emerged supporting the dingo theory.
