The case of the missing Beaumont children is one of Australia's most infamous missing persons mysteries.
True or False
True
The three Beaumont children, aged 9, 7, and 4 went missing on Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, South Australia on 26th January 1966. Sent to the beach without any adult supervision, the children disappeared for unknown reasons. Some witnesses said they saw them walking home, some said they were seen in a store, and others said they saw the children in the company of a tall, thin, blond man. The disappearance of the children led to one of the largest manhunts in Australia's criminal history. Sightings of the children were reported for over a year, but none could be substantiated. There were rumors of abductions by religious cults and possible shark attacks. The case still remains open and it is likely the mystery will never be solved.
