It's almost six decades since Jane, Anna and Grant Beaumont went missing.

But today, a new search and new information revealed.

The land has been dug before, but this team of private investigators will go much deeper and wider.

Eventually, we'll get down to the bottom.

And that's the crucial moment.

The bottom will or not contain remains of children.

There are a number of big stories in true crime at the moment, including a new dig for clues in the 1966 disappearance of the Beaumont children. It's also a year since the disappearance of

Ballarat woman Samantha Murphy. While a man has been charged with her murder, her remains have not yet

been located. The trial of former New South Wales police member Bo Lamar Condon is approaching.

He's charged with the murder of Channel 10 television presenter Jesse Baird and his partner, Luke Davies.

And in non-Australian true crime news, there's growing discontent with the conviction of former

pediatric nurse Lucy Lettby, who was found guilty of murdering seven infants in her

care, making her the most prolific child killer in British history. There's a campaign

afoot to overturn her conviction due in part to statements made by an expert whose research

was used against her, a trial. To discuss all of these developing stories is regular contributor to Australian

True Crime and leading criminologist Dr Zanthi Mallet.

This is Australian True Crime.

So I'd interviewed Stuart Mullins and Bill Hayes, who'd written a couple of books actually

about the missing Beaumonts
