On Wednesday, 26 January 1966 "Australia Day" the three Beaumont children left their home in the Adelaide suburb of Somerton Park for a morning at the beach. By the end of the day, the worst fears of every Australian parent were realised when Jane, aged 9, her sister Arnna, 7, and their four-year-old brother, Grant, did not return home. The "Beaumont Children Case" remains Australia's most famous unsolved mystery. The unknown fate of the three siblings has become an integral part of Australia's urban mythology. More than any other crime, the disappearance of the Beaumont children has become one of the defining events in the history of this country. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The disappearance of the three Beaumont children in 1966 is perhaps the most famous unsolved mystery in Australian history and, although I may be biased here, I can't think of too many other mysteries in the world to match what happened in Adelaide on Australia Day 1966.
Alan Whiticker doesn't come up with any startling claims or new evidence but he sets out what is known about the case (sadly not much) well and while I knew much of the background about Adelaide he writes of, I suppose there would be the odd non-Adelaidean who would benefit from the background.
For fans of true crime and mysteries, this is as good a case as you're going to get, so worth a read. (
