About this listen
On Australia day, 26 January 1966, Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont were abducted from Colley Reserve, Glenelg, South Australia, and never seen again, leading to one of Australia's most extensive police investigations and manhunts. Five decades later, no trace of the children has ever been found.
Over the years, several individuals have been put forward and investigated as suspects, resulting in false leads and dead ends and with no real suspect, until now: Harry Phipps.
On the surface, he was a gentleman: generous, charismatic, and intelligent—a person of wealth and influence in the community. However, a dramatically different person resided behind the walls of his Glenelg mansion, located a mere 190 metres in direct sight of Colley Reserve.
In Unmasking the Killer, author Stuart Mullins (The Satin Man: Uncovering the Mystery of the Missing Beaumont Children (co-author), Joe Bugner: My Story (author)) and former South Australian police detective Bill Hayes expose Harry Phipps as the prime suspect in the abduction, disappearance, and likely murder of the Beaumont children.
Over 10 pieces of circumstantial evidence linking Phipps to the Beaumont abduction are explored in detail, supported by geographic and predator profiling chapters, which detail how these monsters operate. The authors explore a potential link to the 1973 Adelaide Oval abduction of Kirste Gordon and Joanne Ratcliffe and reveal conversations with Haydn Phipps, the eldest son of Harry and a possible eyewitness to events on that fateful day.
Stuart and Bill answer the question: where to next? Along with other experts, they firmly believe the answer to this baffling mystery lay buried at Castalloy, a factory once owned by Harry Phipps.

A good book, ruined by terrible sound quality and narration
Someone skimped on the recording budget.
Worst I’ve heard and I have over 300 titles in my Audible library. There’s a background fuzzy noise and just generally poor sound quality.
The narrator’s voice is too high pitched to listen to for that long. A narrator with a lower tone would have been much easier to listen to.
Here are some of the mispronounced words (there were so many):
“deprived individuals” instead of “depraved individuals”
“gouging” instead of “gauging”
“alleviated” instead of “elevated”
“decimated” instead of disseminated”
“assertations” instead of “assertions”.
Was this woman alone in a walk-in wardrobe with a microphone and nobody listening or checking?
As for the book: there was much unnecessary repetition of facts.
It was a good listen apart from the listening part.

a detailed a thorough investigation that will leave you in no doubt.
this book was a sad, distributing but fascinating read. I thought I knew a lot about the Beaumont children case but I didn't. This book filled in a lot of the blanks. well done to all involved in putting it together.

BINGE WORTHY CONTENT - BRILLIANT
From the details presented in this brilliantly researched book I truly believe the case can be/is already solved.
Infinite details and circumstantial evidence needs to be taken very seriously by “the powers that be”.
Narrator’s voice is very pleasant and is easy to listen to. Highly recommend this book. Could not stop listening.

Bad narrator and poorly structured.
The book contains a mix of fact, conjecture, assumptions and anecdotal information which made it difficult to absorb. Unfortunately the narrator did not make the book any better and only added to the poor experience listening.
I'm glad this horrible person has been ousted
