On Monday Adelaide viewers can view two specials marking the 50 years since the disappearance of The Beaumont children.
Both Seven and Nine will screen specials.
Finding the Beaumonts
6:30pm Monday on Seven (Adelaide)
Hosted by Today Tonight’s Rosanna Mangiarelli, the 30 minute special will feature footage not seen since 1966, when Jane, Arnna and Grant Beaumont disappeared from Glenelg Beach on Australia Day.
The Beaumont children case resulted in one of the largest police investigations in Australia’s criminal history and forever changed the way many parents supervised their children.
On the eve of the momentous anniversary Seven will feature special reports from reporter and presenter Jessica Adamson, investigative reporter Frank Pangallo and police reporter Stacey Lee.
This Seven News and Today Tonight collaboration will bring viewers never before seen police interviews, insight and suspect theories from senior police and a major revelation from a close friend of the Beaumont family.
Inside the Beaumont Investigation
7:30pm Monday on Nine (Adelaide)
Join the Nine News team on Monday at 7.30pm for a special investigation – the most comprehensive look ever produced at the mysterious disappearance of Jane, 9, Arnna, 7, and Grant, 4, a crime that many experts believe saw the end of innocence in Australia.
Hosted by Brenton Ragless, with reports from senior Nine News journalists Ben Avery andAlice Monfries, the investigative team will retrace the steps of the Beaumont children on that fateful January day at Glenelg Beach 50 years ago.
The team will speak to the original detectives still chasing leads today, and reveal the latest on a new tip received in recent weeks that is being closely investigated.

do we know if/when this will be airing in Melbourne? i can’t see it on the EPG. Also would it go ahead in light of possible new evidence being found when they do this excavation this week?
Two years ago?
Oops lol, didnt read the date on it, it was linked to the latest story
Any word on a national broadcast, this story has led police across the country, sure it should therefore be seen nationally
I was just coming in to say this – would be much more interesting than repeats of Ready For Take Off.
Agree. My late mother and her sisters were close followers of this case for some 40 years. All NSW residents. The interest was because, like Graeme Thorne, these sorts of things just never happened in those days – unlike now where, sadly, they seem to be a regular occurrence.
