I’ll be following this one. Thanks for posting, Toots! Fingers crossed it gives us answers for one of our missing cases.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Yes, let's hope so.

 

[Loxoli]

Looks like it’s around 4 hours from Adelaide and 6 hours from Melbourne and on the coast.

Obviously they could be from anywhere, but do you have any possible cases in mind Tootsie?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Loxoli, I had a look through the South Australia missing persons register, but didn't come up with anyone

I'm hoping they can get DNA.

Yes, it would be great if they can get DNA. I’m thinking that some of the Adelaide cases such as one of the Beaumont children, Joanne Ratcliffe or Kirste Gordon are within the realm of possibility. I can’t think of any Victorian cases off the top of my head. Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for more news.

Mystery of human remains found at beach deepens

The mystery surrounding a set of human remains found in sand dunes in remote South Australia has deepened - with questions outstanding about who they belonged to and where they came from.

Police on Friday dismissed claims by the Seven Network that the bones belonged to an Indigenous Australian and suggesting they were potentially historic in nature.

25 November 2021 - A police operation to formally identify 21 individuals whose remains or partial skeletons have been found across South Australia over the past 73 years is on the verge of breakthroughs in several of the cases. Published on The Advertiser's FB page.

Several SA newspapers published an article on the topic but all the copies I can find are behind a paywall.

 

[MissUnderstood]

Hopefully some families get some long awaited answers.

I would think the Beaumont children could be considered historic in nature since they disappeared back on Jan 26 1966.
