On a camping trip at Ayer's Rock, the Chamberlain family's infant daughter disappeared in the middle of the night. Her distraught mother, Lindy, claimed she saw a dingo carry her off into the Australian outback. Two years later, their tragedy worsened when, without a murder weapon, a body, or even a motive, a jury convicted Lindy Chamberlain of killing her own daughter. John Bryson, a trial lawyer and journalist, deconstructs the factors that led to a seemingly reasonless incarceration and the public attitude that demanded it.
