Michael Chamberlain
Michael Leigh Chamberlain (born 1944) is an Australian writer, retired teacher and former pastor, best known due to the 1980 death of his daughter Azaria as the result of a dingo attack whilst camping near Uluru/Ayers Rock in the Northern Territory, Australia. When Chamberlain's then-wife Lindy was falsely convicted of the baby's murder in 1982, he was convicted of being an accessory after the fact. The findings of a 1987 Royal Commission ultimately exonerated the couple, but not before they were subjected to sensationalist reporting and intense public scrutiny.
Chamberlain currently resides in Cooranbong, New South Wales, Australia with his second wife Ingrid.
