Who is popular today?

The disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain wasn’t the only high-profile case to attract attention 40 years ago. A dingo took Lindy Chamberlain’s baby daughter on August 17, 1980 and it became huge news for decades. Apprentice plumber Thomas Cooper, 18, was shot dead the following day in front of his girlfriend at a popular lovers’ lane in Victoria. The shocking murder was prominent in the media for several days, but gradually dropped off the news cycle radar – until now.
