Jane Nartare Beaumont (born 10 September 1956), Arnna Kathleen Beaumont (built-in 11 November 1958) and Grant Ellis Beaumont (born 12 July 1961), collectively known as the Beaumont children, were three Australian siblings who disappeared from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, South Australia, on 26 January 1966 (Australia 24-hour interval) in a suspected abduction and murder.[one] At the fourth dimension of their disappearance they were aged nine, seven, and four years respectively.[2]

Police investigations revealed that, on the day of their disappearance, several witnesses had seen the children on and most Glenelg Beach in the company of a alpine man with fairish to light brown hair and a thin face with a sun-tanned complexion and medium build, aged in his mid-thirties. Confirmed sightings of the three children occurred at the Colley Reserve and at Wenzels Cake shop on Moseley Street, Glenelg. Despite numerous searches, neither the children nor their suspected companion were located.

The instance attracted widespread police and media attention in Australia and beyond the world, quickly attracting numerous suspects, hoaxes and theories. The disappearance is widely credited with causing a change in Australian lifestyles, since parents began to believe that their children could no longer be presumed to be safe when unsupervised in public.[3] [4] [5] [half dozen] [7] [8] The regular and widespread attention given to the case, its significance in Australian criminal history and the fact that the mystery of the children's disappearance has never been explained has led to the story being of continuous public interest more than half a century on.[3] [nine] [10] As of 2018[update], an A$one million reward has been offered for data related to the cold case by the Southward Australian government.[11]

Groundwork [edit]

The beachside suburb of Glenelg where the Beaumont children were last seen

Jane, Arnna and Grant Beaumont lived with their parents, Grant "Jim" Beaumont, a former serviceman and commuter for Suburban Taxis, and Nancy Beaumont (née Ellis), who had married in December 1955.[3] [12] Their house was at 109 Harding Street, Somerton Park, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia,[xiii] [14] not far from Glenelg Embankment, a popular spot that the children and many others at the height of the surf music era often visited. On 25 January, in the midst of a summertime heatwave, Jim dropped the children off at Glenelg Embankment before heading off on a iii-day sales trip to Snowtown.[12]

On the morn of 26 January 1966, the children asked their mother to visit Glenelg Embankment again. As it was too hot to walk, they took a five-minute three-kilometre bus journey from their dwelling house to the beach.[14] They caught the autobus at 8:45 am and were expected to return dwelling on the 12:00 noon bus.[15] : 37 [16] Nancy became worried, yet, when the children did non return on either the 12:00 or 2:00 pm buses, and when Jim returned home early from his trip around 3:00 pm, he immediately drove to the crowded beach.[3] Unable to locate the children, he returned and together they searched the streets and visited friends' houses. Around 5:xxx pm, they went to the Glenelg Police Station to study the disappearance.[3] [12]

Constabulary investigation [edit]

Police quickly organised a search of Glenelg Beach and side by side areas, based on the assumption that the children were nearby and had simply lost rail of time. The search then expanded to the sand-hills, ocean, and nearby buildings, with the airport, rails lines, and interstate roads being monitored every bit well, based on a fear of accident or kidnap. Inside 24 hours, the unabridged nation was aware of the example.[3] Within iii days, on 29 Jan, the Adelaide Sunday Mail service led with a headline of "Sex law-breaking now feared", highlighting the chop-chop evolving fear that they had been abducted and murdered past a sexual activity-offender; despite this, the initial official reward was only A£250.[3]

The Patawalonga Gunkhole Haven was drained on 29 January later on a woman told police that she had spoken with three children, who were similar in description to the Beaumont children, near the haven at vii:00 pm on 26 January.[15] : 40 Constabulary cadets and members of the emergency operations group searched the expanse, but nothing was found.[17]

Prime suspect [edit]

Constabulary investigating the case found several witnesses who had seen the children in Colley Reserve, well-nigh Glenelg Beach, in the company of a tall man with fair to light brown hair and a thin face in his mid-thirties, of a sun-tanned complexion and of thin-to-able-bodied build, wearing swimming trunks.[17] The children were playing with him, and appeared to be relaxed and enjoying themselves.[15] : 36 [18] [nineteen] [xx] The man too approached one of the witnesses, however, asking if anyone had been near the children's holding equally their money was "missing".[12] The homo then went off to change while the children waited for him, and the group were seen walking together away from the beach some fourth dimension later, which the police estimated to be effectually 12:15 pm.[21]

The Beaumont parents described their children, particularly Jane, as shy.[22] For them to be playing and so confidently with a stranger seemed out of character. Investigators theorised that the children had perchance met the man during a previous visit or visits and had grown to trust him.[23] A chance remark at home, which seemed insignificant at the fourth dimension, supports this theory. Arnna had told her female parent that Jane had "got a boyfriend down the embankment".[21] Nancy thought she meant a playmate and took no further notice until later the disappearance.[21]

A shopkeeper at nearby Wenzel'southward Bakery also reported Jane had bought pasties and a meat pie with a £1 notation.[21] Police viewed this every bit further show that the children had been with another person, for two reasons: the shopkeeper knew the children well from previous visits and reported that they had never purchased a meat pie earlier, and the children's female parent had given them only half-dozen shillings and six pence, enough for their bus fare and dejeuner, and not £ane.[24] [25] Police force believed the coin had been given to them by somebody else.[26]

Other sightings [edit]

According to an initial statement, the Beaumont children were seen walking lonely at about iii:00 pm, abroad from the beach along Jetty Road,[15] : 34–35 [27] in the general direction of their domicile. The witness, a postman, knew the children well, and his argument was regarded as reliable.[28] He said the children were "holding hands and laughing" in the master street.[14] Law could not determine why the reliable children, already one hr late, were strolling alone and seemingly unconcerned. This was the last confirmed sighting of the children. The postman contacted police two days after his initial statement and said that he thought he saw them in the forenoon, not the afternoon equally he had previously said.[xv] : 37

A local resident, Miss Daphne Gregory, reportedly sighted the children at iii:00 p.m. with a man who "carried an airlines bag, similar to one owned by Jane Beaumont."[29] [thirty] Several months later, a woman reported that on the nighttime of the disappearance, a man, accompanied by ii girls and a male child, entered a neighbouring house that she had believed empty. Subsequently she had seen the boy walking lone along a lane where he was pursued and roughly caught by the human being. The next morning the house appeared to be deserted once more, and she saw neither the man nor the children again. Police could not constitute why she had failed to provide this information earlier. Other reported sightings of the children continued for almost a twelvemonth subsequently their disappearance.[31]

Gerard Croiset [edit]

The Beaumont example attracted international attention.[32] On 8 November 1966,[33] Gerard Croiset, a Dutch psychic, was brought to Australia to assist in the search, causing a media frenzy.[xviii] [25] Croiset'due south efforts proved unsuccessful, with his story changing from day to day and offer no clues.[26] He identified a spot at a warehouse virtually the children'southward dwelling house in which he believed their bodies had been cached, within the remains of an quondam brick kiln. The holding owners, who were reluctant to excavate on the basis of a psychic'southward claim, soon bowed to public pressure after publicity raised $40,000 to take the edifice demolished.[34] No remains, nor any evidence linking to whatever of the Beaumont family unit, were found.[34] [35] In 1996, the building identified by Croiset was undergoing fractional sabotage and the owners allowed for a full search of the site.[36] Over again no trace was plant of the children.[25]

Hoax letters [edit]

About two years later on the disappearance,[37] the Beaumont parents received two letters: 1 was supposedly written by Jane, and another by a homo who said he was keeping the children. The envelopes showed a postmark of Dandenong, Victoria. The brief notes described a relatively pleasant existence and referred to "The Homo" who was keeping them. Police believed at the time that the letters could quite probable accept been authentic subsequently comparison them with others written by Jane. The letter from "The Homo" said that he had appointed himself "guardian" of the children and was willing to manus them back to their parents. In the letter of the alphabet a meeting identify was nominated.[ citation needed ]

The Beaumont parents, followed by a detective, drove to the designated place but nobody appeared. It was some fourth dimension afterward that a third letter arrived, also purported to be from Jane, stating that the homo had realised a disguised detective was present and that he decided to keep the children because the Beaumonts had betrayed his trust. In that location were no further messages. In 1992, new forensic examinations of the letters showed they were a hoax.[38] Fingerprint technology had improved and the author was identified equally a 41-year-old man who had been a teenager at the time and had written the letters as a joke. Because of the fourth dimension that had elapsed, he was not charged with any offence.[25] [39] [26]

Later on developments [edit]

In Nov 2013, digging was initiated in the dorsum of a North Plympton factory that had previously belonged to 1 possible doubtable in the example, Harry Phipps (see below); further excavation at a slightly different location on the site was undertaken in February 2018.[40] Nothing relevant was found. The excavations were based on two men reporting that every bit boys they had been paid to dig a hole in that area at around the time, and geophysical testing which had identified anomalous disturbed soil.[40] Animal bones were found, but nothing relating to the Beaumont children.[41]

Possible suspects [edit]

Bevan Spencer von Einem [edit]

Bevan Spencer von Einem (built-in 1946) was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1984 for murdering 15-year-erstwhile Richard Kelvin, son of Adelaide newsreader Rob Kelvin.[42] [43] Police and prosecutors publicly stated that they believed von Einem had accomplices and was perchance involved in additional murders.[43] Most this aforementioned time, law came to doubtable von Einem of possible involvement in the Beaumont case.[28] No accomplices were always charged. Von Einem has refused to co-operate with investigators nigh his possible connexion with other murders.

During the investigation into von Einem, police heard from an informant identified only as "Mr B".[44] He related an declared conversation in which von Einem boasted of having taken three children from a beach several years earlier, and said he had taken them habitation to carry "experiments".[28] Von Einem had said that he performed "brilliant surgery" on each of them, and had "continued them up".[45] One of the children had supposedly died during the procedure and and so he had killed the other two and dumped all the bodies in bushland southward of Adelaide.[44] Constabulary had not previously considered von Einem in connection with the Beaumont children, but he somewhat resembled the descriptions and identikits from 1966.[46]

Co-ordinate to Adelaide police force detective Bob O'Brien, Mr B gave important information during the investigation into the Kelvin murder, and was regarded as a generally reliable source.[43] Even so, police reception of the declared confession was mixed. There were enough plausible details to warrant farther research, yet other details relayed by Mr B did non fit with known facts and were regarded with skepticism by police. Equally of 2014[update], von Einem had not been ruled out as a doubtable.[47]

While von Einem was known to have frequented Glenelg Beach to "perv" on the changing rooms, and was described as preoccupied with children,[48] what argues confronting his involvement in the Beaumont case is that he was younger than the suspect seen with the children in 1966 (the doubtable was reported to be in his mid- to late-thirties, whereas von Einem was 20 or 21 at the time). Another of import distinction is that he was convicted of murdering a 15-year-old boy and suspected of killing males in their teens and twenties; victims older than the Beaumont children or Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon. Such disparities amongst victims of a serial killer are not unheard of, but unusual.[43]

The reference to surgical experimentation von Einem had purportedly fabricated to Mr B also corresponded to the coroner'south reports on several of the murdered youths. Von Einem also told the witness that he had taken two girls from the Adelaide Oval during a football friction match, equally Ratcliffe and Gordon had been; he said he had killed them but did not elaborate.

The cases of the Beaumont children and of the Adelaide Oval abductions remain officially open. Withal, von Einem matched the constabulary sketches of the suspect in both the Beaumont and Oval cases[46] and, in 1989, he was identified as a doubtable in a confidential constabulary written report.[46] In August 2007, it was reported that police were examining archival footage from the original Beaumont search, shot by Channel Vii, that shows a young man resembling von Einem amongst onlookers. The report said that police were calling for information to establish the human's identity.[49]

Arthur Stanley Chocolate-brown [edit]

Arthur Stanley Brownish (1912–2002) was charged in 1998 with the murders of sisters Judith and Susan Mackay in Townsville, Queensland.[50] They had disappeared on their way to school on 26 August 1970 and their bodies were establish several days later on in a dry out creek bed. Both girls had been strangled. Brownish's July 2000 trial was delayed later his lawyer applied for a department 613 verdict (unfit to be tried) from the jury. He was never retried as he was plant to accept dementia and Alzheimer'south disease.[51] Brown died in 2002.[52]

Forth with von Einem, Brown is considered to be the most probable suspect for the Beaumont abduction as he bore a hit similarity to an identikit picture of the suspect for both the Beaumont and Oval cases.[53] A search for a connection to the Beaumonts was unsuccessful as no employment records existed that could shed calorie-free on Brown'due south movements at the time. Some of the records were believed lost in the 1974 Brisbane overflowing. It is also possible that Brown, who had unrestricted access to government buildings, may take destroyed his ain files.

Although there is no proof that he had always visited Adelaide, a witness recalled having a conversation with Brownish in which he mentioned having seen the Adelaide Festival Centre nearing completion, which would identify him in the metropolis soon before the Oval abduction on 25 August 1973. Withal, no evidence has ever been found to connect Brown with Adelaide in 1966.[48] Brown was 53 at the time of the Beaumont disappearance, which does not friction match the description of the suspect seen with the children, who was reported as beingness in his thirties.

James Ryan O'Neill [edit]

James O'Neill (built-in 1947), who in 1975 was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a ix-yr-sometime boy in Tasmania, is reported to have previously told a Kimberley station possessor and several other acquaintances that he was responsible for the Beaumont disappearances. In 2006, O'Neill lost an injunction in the High Courtroom of Commonwealth of australia to stop the broadcast of an ABC documentary, The Fishermen, which attempted to link him to the Beaumont example.[54] [55]

Former Victorian detective Gordon Davie spent 3 years speaking to O'Neill to win his confidence before filming him for the documentary. Davie said that although there was no evidence to link O'Neill to the Beaumont case, he was persuaded that O'Neill was to blame. "I asked him about the Beaumonts and he said: 'I couldn't accept done information technology. I was in Melbourne at that time.' That is not a denial." After asked again if he had murdered the children, O'Neill replied, "Look, on legal advice I am non going to say where I was or when I was in that location." Although O'Neill claims never to have visited Adelaide, his work in the opal industry at the fourth dimension required that he oftentimes visit Coober Pedy, which would have required him to pass through Adelaide. Davie also suspected O'Neill was involved in the Adelaide Oval abductions.[56] The South Australia Police take interviewed O'Neill and discounted him as a suspect in the Beaumont example.[57]

Derek Ernest Percy [edit]

Derek Percy (1948-2013), a convicted child killer and Victoria's and so-longest serving prisoner, was suggested in a 2007 article in Melbourne'south The Age as a suspect in the Beaumont case.[58] The Historic period alleged that evidence gathered by cold-case investigators indicated that Percy was a probable suspect for a number of unsolved kid murders, including the Beaumont children. His insanity plea in the 1969 murder of Yvonne Tuohy was at least partly based on his suffering a psychological condition that could foreclose him remembering details of his actions. He was supposed to have indicated that he believed he might have killed the Beaumont children, as he was in the expanse at the fourth dimension, simply he had no recollection of actually doing so.[59] On 30 August 2007, Victoria Police successfully applied for permission to question Percy in relation to the Beaumont case.[60]

In 1966, Percy was aged 17 and therefore seems too young to have been the man seen with the children past several witnesses.[24] Information technology is as well unknown whether Percy would have had a car at that time, while the Beaumont suspect is presumed by commentators to have had admission to one for facilitating a quick getaway and also for disposing of the children's bodies later.[61] Percy was in prison house from 1969 until his death in 2013, which means that he could not take been the suspect in the Adelaide Oval abductions, whom many investigators believe to be connected to the Beaumont disappearance.

Alan Anthony Munro [edit]

Allan Maxwell McIntyre (died 2017[62]) – who had himself been investigated by police and cleared of interest in the Beaumont instance – gave a secondhand business relationship to the Adelaide Advertiser that a homo he had known in 1966, who past 2015 was being sought in Southeast Asia in connection with child abuse incidents there, had come to his home with the children'due south bodies in the kicking of his car. McIntyre's children said that they and their father initially mistook Arnna'south body for that of a male child because of her short haircut.[63]

The man in question was later identified equally businessman Alan Anthony Munro (aged 75 in 2017), a erstwhile Scoutmaster who had pleaded guilty to ten child sexual activity offences dating back to 1962.[12] [64] For these crimes, he was sentenced to ten years imprisonment, with a non-parole menstruation of v years and v months, making him eligible for release in 2022.[12]

In June 2017, Adelaide detectives were given a copy of a kid's diary, written in 1966, which allegedly placed Munro in the vicinity of Glenelg Beach at the time of the Beaumont disappearance. He was convicted of abusing several children, including one of McIntyre's sons,[9] who was a contributor to the diary. Munro had been previously investigated by constabulary but no bear witness had been found that he was involved in the Beaumont instance.[65]

Harry Phipps [edit]

Harry Phipps (died 2004), a local manufactory owner and so-member of Adelaide'due south social elite, came to attention as a possible suspect after the publication of the book The Satin Human: Uncovering the Mystery of the Missing Beaumont Children in 2013.[66] The volume did not proper name the identity of the Satin Man, but Phipps's estranged son, Hadyn, named him before long after the book's publication.[67]

Phipps bore a substantial likeness to the identikit of the homo seen talking to the Beaumont children at Glenelg Embankment. He was wealthy and known to be in the addiction of giving out £i notes, was later alleged to have paedophile tendencies, and lived only 300 metres away from the beach on the corner of Augusta Street and Sussex Street.[12] Haydn, who was aged fifteen at the time of the disappearance, came forwards to researchers in 2007 with the merits that he had seen the children in his male parent'due south yard that twenty-four hour period. Two other persons, youths at the time, said that they had been paid by Phipps to dig a two × 1 × 2-metre hole in his mill yard that weekend, for unstated reasons.[68] [69] [70]

In Nov 2013, a 1-metre-squared section of a factory in N Plympton, which had been owned by Phipps, was excavated. A ground-penetrating radar found "one small anomaly, which can signal movement or objects within the soil", merely the dig found no boosted evidence and investigations into the site were closed.[71] On 22 January 2018, Adelaide detectives appear that they would return to the manufacturing plant site and conduct further excavations,[69] later on a private investigation sponsored by Channel Vii Adelaide.[ten] The excavation, on ii Feb 2018, took nine hours. Animal bones and full general rubbish were constitute, just cipher related to the Beaumont case.[41]

[edit]

Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon [edit]

In 1973, ii children, Joanne Ratcliffe (11) and Kirste Gordon (4), disappeared from the Adelaide Oval during a football match, and they are presumed to accept been abducted and murdered. Ratcliffe's parents and Gordon's grandmother had allowed the girls to leave their grouping to get to the toilet. They were seen several times in the ninety minutes after leaving the Oval, apparently distressed and in the company of an unknown homo, but they vanished later the terminal reported sighting.[72] The police sketch of the doubtable resembles that of the man last seen with the Beaumont children,[73] but it is not a satisfactory identikit image.[74] Detectives believe the cases may exist linked.[75]

The Family Murders [edit]

In 1979, the badly mutilated body of a young homo was found in Adelaide, after identified as Neil Muir (25). In 1982, the similarly-mutilated body of Mark Langley (xviii) was found. Earlier his expiry, he had been subjected to "surgery" — his abdomen had been sliced open, and part of his bowel had been removed. Over the next few months more bodies were found. The dismembered skeletal remains of Peter Stogneff (14) were found almost a twelvemonth after his disappearance and Alan Barnes (xviii) was institute mutilated in a similar mode to Langley. A 5th victim, Richard Kelvin (15), was constitute in 1983, once more with the same mutilations. Von Einem was bedevilled of Kelvin'southward murder in 1984 and was charged with the murders of Barnes and Langley in 1989. Notwithstanding, the prosecution was forced to enter a nolle prosequi (unwilling to pursue) when crucial evidence was deemed inadmissible. These crimes have been known collectively as the Family Murders; police believe that a core group of four people and up to 8 assembly were involved. Testimony given during von Einem's trial alleged he was involved in both the Beaumont and Oval abductions.[44]

Legacy [edit]

The Beaumont case resulted in one of the largest police investigations in Australian criminal history and remains ane of Australia's most infamous cold cases, even after many decades.[76] In January 2018, the Premier of South Commonwealth of australia, Jay Weatherill, said that South Australia Constabulary had "never given up on the case" and that they "take a policy that no murder investigation ends up in a closed file".[77] The State Government also continues to maintain a $1 million advantage for data relating to the children'southward disappearance.[78] [77]

The kidnapping is also viewed by many social commentators as a significant issue in the evolution of Australian gild, with a big number of people irresolute the way they supervised their children daily.[iv] [5] At the fourth dimension, it was never publicly suggested that the children should not have been allowed to travel unsupervised, or that their parents were in any way negligent, but because contemporary Australian order took it for granted that this was safety and adequate.[6] All the same, this example aslope like child-related crimes (such as the 1960 Graeme Thorne kidnapping and the 1965 Wanda Embankment murders) "marked an end of innocence in [post-war] Australian life".[7] [eight]

The regular and widespread attending given to this case, its significance in Australian criminal history and the fact that the mystery of their disappearance has never been explained take led to the story being continually revisited by the media. New leads and clues are regularly reported by the media, and the instance nevertheless regularly headlines print and circulate media more than half a century on.[3] [nine] [10]

Parents [edit]

At the time of the investigation, the Beaumont parents received widespread sympathy from the Australian public. They remained at their Somerton Park home; Nancy in detail held hope that the children would render, and stated in interviews that information technology would be "dreadful" if the children returned home and did not discover their parents waiting for them.[3] Over the years, as new leads and new theories emerged, the Beaumonts co-operated fully in exploring every possibility, whether it was claims that the children had been abducted by a religious cult and were living variously in New Zealand, Melbourne, or Tasmania, or some clue that suggested a possible burial site for the children. They were devastated in 1990 when newspapers published reckoner-generated photographs of how the children would accept looked every bit adults. The pictures, published confronting their wishes, caused a huge wave of public sympathy from a community which is still sensitive to their hurting.[79]

The couple later on divorced and lived separately,[13] having resolved to live their concluding years abroad from the public attention that followed them for decades. They sold their dwelling house and, while the case remains open, the South Australian Police remains informed of the couple'due south new addresses. The Beaumonts were reported to have accepted that the truth of their children'due south disappearances may never be discovered.[11] [v] Nancy died in Adelaide on xvi September 2019, in a nursing home, aged 92, whereas Jim, also aged in his 90s, continues to reside in Adelaide.[lxxx]

Media [edit]

The case attracted widespread police and media attending in Commonwealth of australia and beyond. The fact that the case has never been explained has led to the story being continually revisited by the media, and past newer online sites, more than l years later the children's disappearance.[three] [9] [10] Some examples include:
