You haven't heard? 00:03:04.808 --> 00:03:06.264 What? Lindy Chamberlain. 00:03:06.288 --> 00:03:08.984 They found new evidence. They say she could be released from prison. 00:03:09.008 --> 00:03:10.264 What? 00:03:10.288 --> 00:03:12.704 A baby's cardigan has been discovered at Ayers Rock, 00:03:12.728 --> 00:03:15.064 and it may provide significant new evidence 00:03:15.088 --> 00:03:17.104 in the case of Azaria Chamberlain. 00:03:17.128 --> 00:03:18.944 The cardigan, or matinee jacket, 00:03:18.968 --> 00:03:22.064 was found by police during a search for a tourist who disappeared... 00:03:22.088 --> 00:03:24.104 Darling? What is it? 00:03:24.128 --> 00:03:26.584 Suggest that the jacket matches... 00:03:26.608 --> 00:03:28.944 They found a jacket at Ayers Rock - 00:03:28.968 --> 00:03:32.944 a baby's jacket just near where Azaria Chamberlain was taken. 00:03:32.968 --> 00:03:34.584 I thought they already found the jacket? 00:03:34.608 --> 00:03:36.544 They found the jumpsuit, not the jacket. 00:03:36.568 --> 00:03:39.984 The prosecution successfully argued that the jumpsuit was too clean - 00:03:40.008 --> 00:03:42.344 that it didn't have enough blood on it for a dingo attack. 00:03:42.368 --> 00:03:44.024 But Lindy Chamberlain always said 00:03:44.048 --> 00:03:46.584 that Azaria was wearing a jacket over it - 00:03:46.608 --> 00:03:48.184 a white Marquis matinee jacket. 00:03:48.208 --> 00:03:50.824 So, if this is the jacket, if it's the actual jacket, 00:03:50.848 --> 00:03:52.504 then it's proof. Proof of what? 00:03:52.528 --> 00:03:53.984 That she was never lying. 00:03:54.008 --> 00:03:55.144 Now... 00:03:55.168 --> 00:03:56.864 It should be in here somewhere. 00:03:56.888 --> 00:03:59.064 Alright. What's his name again? 00:03:59.088 --> 00:04:01.464 Stuart...

At least four stories. 00:05:01.708 --> 00:05:03.064 All the tapes from the trial. 00:05:03.088 --> 00:05:05.224 We'll need the one from the inquest as well. 00:05:05.248 --> 00:05:07.784 OK. So, how long has she been in jail? 00:05:07.808 --> 00:05:10.184 Has it been two years? Over three. 00:05:10.208 --> 00:05:11.904 So, do you think she's gonna get released? 00:05:11.928 --> 00:05:14.744 If the jacket holds up, then, yeah. She could walk free this week. 00:05:14.768 --> 00:05:16.144 So, will she have to go back to court? 00:05:16.168 --> 00:05:17.704 Well... 00:05:17.728 --> 00:05:19.384 ...I felt the magic. 00:05:19.408 --> 00:05:21.704 On my hand. 00:05:21.728 --> 00:05:24.008 Five, four... 00:05:26.248 --> 00:05:29.584 The discovery of a child's matinee jacket near Ayers Rock 00:05:29.608 --> 00:05:32.744 has shed new light on the disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain 00:05:32.768 --> 00:05:34.324 in 1980. 00:05:34.348 --> 00:05:36.584 Good evening. Welcome to News at Six. 00:05:36.608 --> 00:05:38.384 The white Marquis matinee jacket 00:05:38.408 --> 00:05:40.464 was found during a search for a hiker 00:05:40.488 --> 00:05:42.304 who fell from the Rock on Sunday. 00:05:42.328 --> 00:05:43.944 Three years into Lindy Chamberlain's 00:05:43.968 --> 00:05:45.644 life sentence for murder, 00:05:45.668 --> 00:05:49.224 the bombshell discovery could prove a new turning point in the case. 00:05:49.248 --> 00:05:50.824 I could only see the dingo 00:05:50.848 --> 00:05:52.944 from sort of the top of the shoulders, up. 00:05:52.968 --> 00:05:55.408 But he came out in such a hurry, I... 00:05:56.528 --> 00:05:58.464 ...thought, "There's no food in there. 00:05:58.488 --> 00:06:01.824 "But he just might have... damaged or mauled the baby." 00:06:01.848 --> 00:06:03.584 For six years, Lindy Chamberlain 00:06:03.608 --> 00:06:07.744 has maintained that a dingo took her baby from Ayers Rock campground. 00:06:07.768 --> 00:06:12.064 Yesterday's discovery of Azaria's matinee jacket backs up that claim. 00:06:12.088 --> 00:06:14.204 If the garment is confirmed to be Azaria's, 00:06:14.228 --> 00:06:17.204 it may well be a breakthrough in Mrs Chamberlain's effort 00:06:17.228 --> 00:06:18.944 to prove that she did not murder the child, 00:06:18.968 --> 00:06:21.024 and that Azaria was taken by a dingo. 00:06:21.048 --> 00:06:23.664 The jacket was found on the south-west side of the Rock 00:06:23.688 --> 00:06:25.984 during the search for the body of an Englishman 00:06:26.008 --> 00:06:27.784 who apparently fell to his death 00:06:27.808 --> 00:06:30.548 while climbing in a dangerous and secluded area. 00:06:35.088 --> 00:06:36.648 Hi. 00:06:38.368 --> 00:06:40.144 Hi, Cathy. 00:06:40.168 --> 00:06:42.264 I was... 00:06:42.288 --> 00:06:44.168 ...wondering if we could... talk. 00:06:45.728 --> 00:06:47.168 What about? 00:06:48.288 --> 00:06:50.304 You need to know that Dad...

We're the only media here. We've got the advantage. 00:22:42.248 --> 00:22:44.464 That's a decision for upstairs to make. 00:22:44.488 --> 00:22:46.704 I think that upstairs want us to go in hard. 00:22:46.728 --> 00:22:48.224 Are you gonna pay her? 00:22:48.248 --> 00:22:50.424 Helen, I don't think journos are the ones 00:22:50.448 --> 00:22:52.224 who should be offering cash for interviews. 00:22:52.248 --> 00:22:55.664 Do you know how much money that the media's made off Lindy Chamberlain? 00:22:55.688 --> 00:22:58.024 You think our CEO deserves that more than she does? 00:22:58.048 --> 00:22:59.424 I think I'm gonna just record this, just in case. 00:22:59.448 --> 00:23:01.644 It's not about that. How's she gonna earn money? 00:23:01.668 --> 00:23:04.524 Is she gonna walk into a shop, get a job? She can't do that. 00:23:04.548 --> 00:23:07.744 This has nothing to do with Lindy. It is a precedent. 00:23:07.768 --> 00:23:09.584 We need to secure the interview first, 00:23:09.608 --> 00:23:10.764 without resorting to paying her cash. 00:23:10.788 --> 00:23:12.704 I disagree.
