S1 E2 Beaumont Children Mystery
本集简介

On Australia Day, 26 January 1966, nine-year-old Jane, seven-year-old Arnna, and four-year-old Grant Beaumont vanished from a beach in Adelaide, sparking South Australia's largest search and rescue operation. Despite intense efforts, the children were never found. 

The disappearance captivated the nation, and six decades later, it remains one of Australia's most haunting mysteries, etched in the minds of everyone in Adelaide at the time. 

"This is one of the most examined cases in our history," says Adam.

"The police have worked hard, but even their own statement confirms that they're no closer to solving it." 

"There are different theories amongst even police. The reality is those theories, and theories put forward by others, are considered, but there remains no proof as to who is responsible," adds Steve.

Adam and Steve meticulously retrace the children's steps on the fateful day, uncovering new evidence and presenting their findings to former South Australia Supreme Court Justice John Sulan, for a fresh evaluation. 

The Beaumont children disappearance investigation features expert insights from co-authors of Unmasking the Killer of Missing Beaumont Children, Stuart Mullins and former SA Detective Bill Hayes; politician and former journalist Frank Pangallo; investigative journalist Graham Archer; former photojournalist Ken Sellick and forensic psychologist Deb Bennett.

Mr Cruel

The heinous attacks on Melbourne children in the late 1980s and early 1990s, attributed to the elusive Mr Cruel, shocked the nation and led to extensive investigations. Despite efforts, the case remains unsolved, leaving families without answers for decades.

The upcoming episode, airing at 7.30pm, features esteemed investigative journalist Adam Shand and renowned Behavioral Analyst Steve van Aperen, also known as "The Human Lie Detector." The duo's investigation introduces new evidence and insights that could potentially reshape the narrative surrounding Mr Cruel.

The program scrutinises the long-held belief that Mr Cruel's crimes were escalating, culminating in the tragic murder of Karmein Chan, and questions whether these acts were indeed the work of a single individual.

In a significant moment, a survivor of Mr Cruel's attacks will break their silence, sharing their story for the first time. This development, along with new DNA evidence, raises hopes of finally identifying and apprehending the perpetrator.

Adam Shand stated, "We owe it to the community, the police, but most importantly the victims who are sort of frozen in time, victims of Mr Cruel, when in fact that individual does not exist."

Steve van Aperen added, "It's closure. Not just for the victims but for the victims' families and the detectives who were working 18-hour days and are devastated there was no resolution.

This had a ripple effect for so many people, and it's now time for this to be reviewed, looked at and taken further."

The Car Bomb & The Underworld War

The brutal car bombing that killed 48-year-old businessman John Furlan in 1998 remains one of Australia's most baffling unsolved murders.

On 3 August 1998, Furlan died in an explosion caused by a bomb planted under his car on a suburban street in Coburg, Melbourne. Despite numerous investigations and extensive efforts by Victoria Police, the motive for his murder has never been determined.

In a new investigation on The Hunters airing 8.40pm Sunday, 2 March on Seven and 7plus, investigative journalist Adam Shand and former detective Steve Van Aperen aim to uncover new leads that could solve this tragic crime. The investigation features fresh interviews and new insights into the evidence.

With full cooperation from Victoria Police and access to past and present police investigators, Adam and Steve examine key twists, including a bomb-maker's unexpected confession and the mysterious death of a key suspect.

The investigation also explores Furlan's life and connections, examining whether his murder was part of a larger criminal scheme.

This exclusive investigation features expert insights from former Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Noel Ashby; retired Victoria Police Detective Senior Sergeant Jeff Maher; retired Victoria Police Detective Tina Kemp; retired NSW Police Detective Greg Kelly; journalist Tanya Giles; criminal profiler and forensic psychologist Dr. Debra Bennett; Victoria Police Detective Sergeant Joseph Strachan; and some of Furlan's closest friends and other connections.

Victoria Police is again urging the public to come forward with any information that could help solve the case.

"I think this case is still solvable," says Jeff Maher. "We ask people who've got any information whatsoever to come forward and speak to us or contact Crime Stoppers because the public needs answers."

Could Furlan's death have sparked deadly underworld wars in Melbourne, or was it a targeted attack with a personal motive?
