The Beaumont Children, Part 1: Vanished in Plain Sight

On Australia Day 1966, nine-year-old Jane Beaumont and her younger siblings, Ana and Grant, went to Adelaide’s crowded Glenelg Beach—and never came home.

Witnesses saw the children laughing and playing with a sandy-haired man. They bought food with money their mother hadn’t given them. And days before they disappeared, Ana had told her mother that Jane had a “boyfriend.”

In Part One of our investigation into one of Australia’s most haunting unsolved cases, Allison and Sophia DuBois examine the children’s final known movements, the mysterious man seen with them, the controversial case against Harry Phipps, and the evidence investigators may have missed.
