BEAUMONT CHILDREN UPDATE ‘WE ARE CLOSE TO DISCOVERING THE TRUTH’

New revelations could finally lead to the 60-year-old case being solved

- 

Australia's most haunting cold case may finally be a step closer to being solved with new bombshell revelations about what really happened to the Beaumont children when they disappeared almost 60 years ago.

In Unmasking The Killer Of The Missing Beaumont Children, startling new testimony from a mystery woman details horrific details of the kidnapping and murder of Jane, Arnna and Grant Beaumont after they were taken from Adelaide's Glenelg Beach on Australia Day, January 26, 1966.

The woman, only identified as “Louise,” names the man who has long been a suspect in the case – the late businessman, Harry Phipps – as being responsible for their killing. She alleges Phipps, a well-known paedophile now deceased, also sexually assaulted her and passed her around to other abusers within his paedophile ring.

EXCAVATION

It was after the ill-fated deep excavation of Phipps' old factory site at suburban North Plympton in February, which failed to find any traces of Jane, nine, Arnna, seven, and Grant, four, that led to this breakthrough. Louise contacted the book's coauthor Stuart Mullins to confess all she knew about the case.

Stuart and former South Australian police detective Bill Hayes have been investigating the Beaumont case for years, and coauthored the new book. Bill tells Woman's Day that Louise's revelations, which are detailed in one of the book's most chilling chapters, could prove to be a game-changer in the investigation.
