Beaumont search for children invited by “ new information ” on the old factory site, says mp

An excavation to come for the children of Beaumont will probably be the last chance to carry out another search for their remains on an old factory site before the land is sold, according to the idea.

The disappearance of the three young Beaumonts – Jane, nine, Arnna, seven years old and Grant, four years – on Australia in 1966 is one of the most confusing and tragic cold cases in the country.

After the three brothers and sisters disappeared from Glenelg Adelaide beach, several witnesses provided a description of the children seen with a large man, tanned and thinly, with short blond hair.

Independent deputy Frank Panggallo said that a third research on the former Castalloy site which is expected to start on Saturday, February 22 would be more extensive than previous efforts in 2013 and 2018, which revealed any sign of missing children.

Panggallo said that private research would be carried out by a local land moving company in collaboration with two forensic archaeologists “which are experts in the search for bodies”, as well as university students.

“The site has now been authorized and the government is about to put it on sale and the government has received many people’s surveys asking” well now that you have flattened the site why not have another look and see S ‘ There is everything there, ” told ABC Radio Adelaide on Monday.

He said the SA police and government had been informed of future work, adding that new information had since been revealed suggesting that the 2018 excavation could “not have gone deep enough”.

“They did not excavate at the right level because a considerable quantity of filling had been put at the top, so what will happen this time is that it will be on a wider area and it goes further and further will also include these two other sites, “he said.

“They will comb the area and seek any sign that there are remains there or any activity that there had been a decomposition in the ground, so it is a fairly involved excavation, this one.

“It was probably a meter two meters more than it was in 1966.”

The AS police said that the people involved in the new search had “kept Sapol aware of their plans and their justification for renewed activity”.

“People who are leading the new excavation on the site follow a theory which, according to Sapol, is not supported by evidence and available information,” said a police spokesperson.

“Sapol will watch the excavations as you go.”

The site of avenue Mooriange in North Plympton formerly belonged to the businessman of Adelaide Harry Phipps, who died in 2004.

The police previously described Mr. Phipps – as well as dozen others – as a person of interest.

The son of Mr. Phipps, Haydn, who was 15 at the time when the children disappeared, said he saw the children of his family home in Glenelg.

He also told the police that he was violently mistreated by his father when he was a child.

Police previously declared that the in progress in progress had prompted two brothers to come forward and to tell the police that they had dug a hole for Mr. Phipps on the site the same year that the Beaumonts disappeared.

“You cannot categorically say that the children have been murdered by Mr. Phipps or that the remains are in Castalloy, but there is enough information to suggest that it is worth exploring this site once again To eliminate this possibility, “said Pinggallo.

“It’s always a heartbreaking story 59 years old.”

Beaumont’s parents both died without knowing what had happened to children.

Nancy Beaumont died in 2019, a year after the last research in Castalloy, and Grant Beaumont – also known as Jim – died in 2023.
