She was later acquitted by a Royal Commission and a third
inquest, in 1995,
left an open finding on the death.
Officials, doubtful that a dingo was strong enough to drag away a
baby, charged Lindy with murder.
Prosecutors said she slit Azaria's
throat in the family car - which initial forensic tests said was
splashed with baby's blood - and buried her in the desert.
