Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, who claimed in 1980 that a dingo killed her baby while she was camping. It was ruled as a murder, but after many years, a coroner's report confirmed that, actually, a dingo had killed her baby. The phrase 'A dingo ate my baby' became a very, very early equivalent of a meme at the time, and continues to show up in media occasionally.
