About this listen

In this final episode of 2025, Sleepers brings you one of the most significant witness accounts ever shared publicly about the disappearance of the Beaumont children.


For nearly sixty years, she held her silence.

She was a young mother on holiday at Glenelg on Australia Day 1966, sitting on the grass with her children, when a little boy played with her son on their picnic blanket.


His name was Grant Beaumont.


In this episode, she tells her story.


She describes the man she saw with the children, the moment he rose and walked them toward the side shows, and the fear that drove her to flee South Australia the very next day. Her memories are clear, consistent, and unchanged across decades, and now, they become part of the public record.


As we approach the 60th anniversary of the Beaumont disappearance on Australia Day 2026, this testimony raises new questions about old assumptions, long-dismissed leads, and the urgent need for renewed investigative action.


Sleepers will continue in 2026, examining not only the Beaumont case but also cold cases across South Australia. The Adelaide Oval abductions, the 1980s Family murders, and the many stories still waiting in the shadows.


If you know something… say something. - Your voice matters.
