A public appeal will be launched in Adelaide this week to raise $7OOO (£2800) for excavations beneath a suburban warehouse named by a Dutch clairvoyant, Gerard Croiset, as the burial ground of the three missing Beaumont children. The owner of the warehouse has given a recentlyformed citizens’ action com-, mittee a two-week time limit to complete the excavation, i The appeal will be launched; at a public meeting at the warehouse on Thursday—the first anniversary of the disappearance of Jane Beaumont nine, Arrna seven, and Grant four. After searching the area in November last year, Croiset dramatically declared that the children were buried under the concrete floor of ttie warehouse. The citizens’ committee was formed after the South Australian Government had rejected an appeal to exca-! vate the warehouse. The committee’s patron, Mr C. Polites, said that digging, teams would have to work I around the clock to complete! the job within the two weeks they have been granted. He said an area Bft by 15ft would be excavated to a depth of 12ft in the search for the children’s bodies.
