There seemed to be multiple missing/murder cases assumed to be possibly committed by the same group of child abusers. One of them is serving life sentence after being convicted of one murder:
The "tall, blond man" in the sketch in the Beaumont children case could be Einem.
Quote:
The Beaumonts divorced and are living separately.[5] They are reported to have accepted that the truth may never be discovered, and have resolved to live their final years away from the public attention that followed them for decades. ...
As of 2016, fifty years since the disappearance, Jim and Nancy Beaumont are now aged 90 and 88 respectively.[4]
Incredibly sad.
As for who may be involved:
Quote:
The media dubbed those involved "The Family", an alleged group of homosexual child sexual abusers possibly involving high-profile Adelaide establishment figures (doctors, lawyers, judges and politicians), a theory that still persists to this day. ..........when on 28 August 1989, Einem gave his one and only interview from prison, given to The Advertiser journalist Dick Wordley. In the interview, Einem again pleaded his innocence in the murder of Richard Kelvin and of the four other young men, and regretted taking his lawyer's advice to keep silent during the early stages of the Kelvin investigation. He also hinted that he could name people that could help police with their investigation, but feared for his life if he did and also claimed that his life was already threatened once by two police officers who ordered him not to give evidence in the inquest into the death of Dr. George Duncan in 1972.
Some police believe the group, dubbed “The Family”, included a businessman, a doctor, a lawyer and the brother of an Olympic athlete. They have been able to avoid arrest while von Einem serves his sentence and keeps silent about who else participated in the murders of Kelvin and four other young men abducted between 1979 and 1983.
One of the suspects James Ryan O’Neill.
Quote:
He said he’d committed his first murder at 15, in 1962. And he mentioned the Beaumonts.
Davie was intrigued that O’Neill did not deny murdering the Beaumonts, instead evasively saying he lived in Melbourne at the time, not Adelaide. But Davie found that O’Neill had visited the Coober Pedy opal fields — via Adelaide — about 15 times.
One of the sons of South Australian captain of industry Harry Phipps points to his father as a child abuser and cross-gender dresser with a love for satin. He claimed that on the day the Beaumont Children disappeared he saw three children in his backyard. The importance did not dawn to him then but now …
“Phipps, who died 10 years ago, bears an uncanny resemblance to a widely-distributed sketch of a man who was last seen playing with the missing children at Glenelg Beach in 1966.” The sketch is here on the side.
