Police believed the main crime scene was the family’s car — a yellow Holden Torana, and a nearby scene where they found the baby’s jacket, which was the only evidence they found. But in looking back at the first findings, many of what was discovered supported the Chamberlains all along. The second coroner investigated the case in 1982 and would find that there was no blood found inside the tent, but there was a sign of it outside. The jumpsuit Azaria was reported to have on was found ripped and buried with blood stains on them, per University of Missouri-Kansas City. It was also determined that the rips matched with an animal’s teeth markings, but apparently lack of convincing tissue ruled that out. But a very glaring finding of the 1982 coroner’s investigation did conclude that Azaria’s clothing was indeed found on a path that dingoes were known to frequent and near a dingo den, along with the fact that these animals were also known to scavenge. Despite evidence to suggest potential dingo involvement, Australia in the ’80s did not believe that the canid breed was dangerous back then. It would take years before more would be known about this dog-looking animal, per Dingo Foundation, and advocacy led by Lindy herself to help bring awareness and education about the animal and how they interact with humans, per BBC.

The car was restored by Michael Chamberlain and donated to the Museum of Australia. He died in 2017, but his car went on display in 2020, per Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
