Man says missing baby’s body was in jaws of dingo he shot dead

ONE of Australia’s most enduring mysteries, the fate of a baby killed by a dingo in the Outback 24 years ago, took another twist yesterday with an elderly man saying he retrieved the baby’s body from the jaws of a wild dog he shot.

The stunning claim was made by 78-year-old Frank Cole to the Sunday Herald Sun tabloid in Melbourne.

He told the paper he had photos of the night in August 1980 that Azaria Chamberlain went missing from a campsite near Ayers Rock, but said the photos did not include one of the baby’s bloody body.
