What is documented
Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont travelled by bus from their Adelaide home to Glenelg Beach on 26 January 1966. Witnesses reported seeing the siblings at the beach and nearby shops, but they did not return home on the expected bus. [1]
Their disappearance prompted a major police investigation and repeated searches across South Australia. No confirmed trace of the children has been found, and later witness accounts and proposed suspects remain unproven. [2]
