AUSTRALIA— A decades old mystery in Australia, made into a film with Meryl Streep, has finally been laid to rest.

In 1980, a woman claimed her 9-week-old daughter was taken from a campsite by a dingo, which is a wild dog.

She was later cleared.

A coroner has now ruled that the baby was taken by a dingo.

No similar attack had been documented 30 years ago. But in recent years, the wild dogs have been blamed for three fatal attacks on children.

The mother was convicted of murdering her daughter and served 4 years in jail. Then one day they found the babies jacket outside a dingo den near the campground where she was snatched. The courts then let the mother out of jail but there was still a finding that she had "possibly" murdered the child. In this recent ruling , the state admits it was a dingo snatching.

What a nightmare for the mother and father. Baby taken by dogs , you know your baby was eaten alive.......you know you are innocent........... but the courts find you guilty of murdering your own baby and into jail you go. NIGHTMARE!
