Police reject woman's Azaria claims
Police reject woman's Azaria claims
From: AAP
August 26, 2005

NORTHERN Territory police have rejected a woman's claim that she is Azaria Chamberlain.

The woman walked into Alice Springs police station this week claiming to be the baby girl who disappeared from near Uluru 25 years ago.
Nine-week-old Azaria disappeared from a tent while her family was on a camping holiday at Uluru on August 17, 1980.

Her family have never wavered from their claim that a dingo took the baby.

Alice Springs police today confirmed they were investigating the woman's claim.

1. Wasn't there a made-for-TV movie
about this case. I think it starred Meryl Streep.

3. I remember seeing the movie and also
a documentary on the story. Didn't they determine a dingo probably killed her? I saw this a long time ago.
