The subjects of one of Australia’s most sensational and controversial murder cases--Seventh-day Adventist pastor Michael Chamberlain and his wife Lindy--will be the focus of a segment of Sunday’s “60 Minutes.” The couple, whose real-life story inspired the upcoming movie “A Cry in the Dark,” starring Meryl Streep, were interviewed for the show in Australia by Ed Bradley. The Chamberlains had been found guilty of murdering their 9-week-old daughter, who disappeared while on a family camping trip in the Australian outback. The decision was reversed last month, however, after evidence was found to support the couple’s claim that the baby had been stolen from their tent by a dingo, a wild Australian dog.
