Jane(9),Arnna(7) and Grant(4) left their home in the Adelaide suburb of Somerton Park to Glenelg beach by bus on Jan. 26,1966 at 10AM. It should be noted that the reason the children were at the beach in Jan. is because in Australia as in all the southern hemisphere summer is in our (USA) winter months. When the did not return on the noon bus their parents knew something was wrong. A massive search began soon after for them. Police found 7 folks who had seen them that day. Some had seen them alone and some with a man. 2 years after they vanished a letter was received by the Beaumonts from someone claiming to be "the Man" saying he would give them back at a designated spot. It was proved in 2005 that it was sent as a joke by a teen. No charges were filed as the statute of limitations had long expired. I have some questions: 1. Who would take 3 children at once? 2. Why take 3 different aged children? according to their website all of Australia knows who the Beaumont children were. There's is a story of legend in Australia. Let's try to solve this legend. Their mom and although now divorced have waited for 44 years to learn the fate of their children. They to this day leave their addresses with police. They deserve to have answers. I believe over 4 decades is too long to wait. www.beaumontchildren.com/index.html
