The Story of the Beaumont Children

Jane, Arner and Grant Beaumont were last seen on January 26, 1966. A man was driving a green-fawed utility truck with two girls and a boy in the back at the time of their disappearance. Multiple witnesses claimed to have seen an unknown man fitting this description along the highway between Adelaide and Melbourne. The police mostly discounted these sightings as unrelated to the case. By Easter 1966, Jim and Nancy Beaumont remained optimistic that their children had been abducted by someone who was keeping them alive and well. With no new information surfacing, stories started to fade from the headlines.
