Da Dingo Done Did It!

Yeah, it's been all over the news the last few days here. :roll: Just have to wait and find out whether the speculations are true or not.
 
Wow I remember watching that movie when I was young. That's really interesting to see that this guy kept a mum on it for 24 years, then finally tell the police. I find that to be very stupid. If it were me, I would have reported it to the police, even if I feared being fined for killing a dingo. Still a baby is a baby.
 
I already knew that since I saw the movie.....It was a very good one and a sad one too, I just knew she was telling the truth at the beginning but the others didn't believe her and at the middle of it her husband started to wonder if she was telling the truth....
 
House owner wants Azaria evidence
09:54 AEST Thu Jul 8 2004

The Melbourne man who owns a home where Azaria Chamberlain could be buried said he would let police dig up his yard if they produced tangible evidence her body was buried there.

But owner Valentino De Fazio has described as far-fetched claims by Melbourne pensioner Frank Cole that Mr Cole shot a dingo that had the dead body of a baby in its jaws.

Earlier this week, Mr Cole, 78, from suburban Pascoe Vale, claimed he shot the dingo near Uluru in 1980, at the time Azaria went missing.

But the elderly man said he and his friends did not contact police because they were scared they would be charged for shooting illegally in a national park.

Mr Cole said his friend Bob Farmer - a former occupant of the house in Manningham Street, Parkville - might have buried Azaria in his back yard.

Mr De Fazio, who is holidaying in Europe, told 3AW he would cooperate with police if they had evidence the story was true and they requested access to his home.

"At this point in time, until the police establish there's a tangible fact they actually want to investigate under the house or anywhere near the house I think they'd better just leave it, I suppose," he said.

"It's all speculation at this stage and if it gets to the stage they actually want to go through it, they can contact my brother and he will show them through, I suppose."

The house had been extended over part of the back yard, and the whole block had been concreted since he moved in five years ago, Mr De Fazio said.

Mr De Fazio described Mr Cole's story as "far-fetched".

"I think the story will blow over. I think it's madness," he said.

Lindy Chamberlain (now Chamberlain-Creighton) was jailed for life in 1982 for Azaria's murder but was freed from jail in 1986 and officially pardoned in 1987.

On Tuesday night, Mr Cole apologised to Mrs Chamberlain-Creighton and her former husband Michael Chamberlain for not going to the police with his story earlier.

Mr Cole said he did not know what happened to Azaria's body, and only came forward now the other four men involved in the incident had died, taking the secret to their graves.

The Northern Territory Police said they would investigate Mr Cole's comments.

I live about 30 minutes away from Pascoe Vale -- have mates living there, about a few blocks away. :shock:
 
That is interesting..

I have a dog, he is Shepherd/Dingo mixed. Father is from Australia Dingo and Mother is Shepherd breed, and when I adopted Copper, I trained him soooooo friendly and lovely and he still act like a baby. He is so great with my son, Kyler and he is very protective of Kyler.

Copper is red colored.
 
wow interesting!

Yes, I remember I did saw the sad movie. I beleive her.
 
House could be Azaria's final place

**UPDATE**

22:03 AEST Mon Jul 19 2004

A second Melbourne address has been flagged as Azaria Chamberlain's burial site, but the house that once stood there was levelled and replaced with a large unit development years ago.

But police investigating recent twists in the 24-year-old case would not confirm whether they were interested in the former house site on Blyth Street, in the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick.

The Nine network's A Current Affair reported that Bob Farmer, one of the men who accompanied Frank Cole on a trip to Alice Springs and Uluru in August 1980, once owned a house there.

Mr Cole, a now 78-year-old Melbourne pensioner, created waves last month when he said he shot a dingo near Uluru on the night Azaria went missing and found a dead baby in its jaws.

He claims to not know exactly what happened to the baby's body but believes it was driven back to Melbourne by Mr Farmer and one of the other men on the trip, Ron Reardon, and buried in a suburban backyard.

Mr Reardon was the only living witness who could verify the story, but was suffering advanced Alzheimer's disease in a Melbourne nursing home, it said.

Mr Farmer, a truck wrecker, died 15 years ago and the house was subsequently demolished with a large scale unit development built in its place, it said.

A single-storey Victorian cottage on Manningham Street, Parkville, was earlier named by Mr Cole as a possible site.

Citing a "credible source", A Current Affair said the Brunswick property also was another possible location.

The program also said two NT police officers visited Mr Cole last Friday to discuss his story but NT police refused to confirm whether this had taken place.

"All we are saying is that Northern Territory police hope to get a statement from Mr Frank Cole," the spokesman said.

NT police told AAP: "We can't confirm that the (Brunswick) address is one that is being looked at. It is an ongoing investigation."

Azaria disappeared from a campsite at Uluru on August 17, 1980, and her body was never found.

Her mother, Lindy Chamberlain (now Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton) was jailed for life in 1982 for Azaria's murder but was freed from jail in 1986.

She was officially pardoned in 1987 and her conviction quashed the following year.

The Baby's jumpsuit was found in 1987 after all those years, and it was in good condition, no tear or torn at all, how to pull the baby out of this jumpsuit with dingo's jaws and claws?

It is something fishy to me!

I have a dog, he is Shepherd/Dingo mixed. Father is from Australia Dingo and Mother is Shepherd breed

It is quite confusing, because in England it is called Dingo, but in Australia we call this exactly same breed of dog as a Blue/Red Heeler!! I am sure you are talking about Blue/Red Heeler Australian Cattledog not Australian Dingo.

It need a licence to have a pure dingo as a pet in some states and it is wild dog like a fox.
 
Yes, I knew that the Mother was Innocent the first time I saw the movie about it.. It was the dingo all along like I thought. I knew the way I saw the mother on Tv She seems to be telling the truth her story I mean the way her face expression shows too u can really tell she was telling the truth. :P


If there wasn't a body recovered at the time of killing then they had no right to arrested someone and charge someone for a crime when there no evidence present.:roll:


too much innocent people go to prison for something they did not do and waste almost half of their life in prison.

Dingo 'killer' agrees to interview
17:28 AEST Sat Jul 31 2004

Frank Cole, the man who alleged he shot the dingo that killed Azaria Chamberlain, has agreed to be interviewed by police.

Earlier this month, the Melbourne pensioner made the extraordinary claim after carrying the supposed secret around with him for 24 years.

Until now however, he has declined to be interviewed by police, throwing the veracity of his story into question.

A Northern Territory police spokesman confirmed that police had been contacted by Mr Cole's lawyers saying he had had a change of heart.

"We have always been keen to talk to him and last night his lawyers let us know that he was now willing," said the spokesman.

The spokesman said he wasn't sure when police would interview Mr Cole, but said it would be as soon as "he was able to come in."
