Faded Trails: The Beaumont Children and the Jack Family Disappearance

Inside Australia’s most haunting child abduction and the unexplained disappearance of an entire family in Canada’s wilderness.

In this episode, we explore two haunting disappearances separated by oceans—but bound by unanswered questions.

First, we revisit the Beaumont children, whose 1966 disappearance from Glenelg Beach in Australia became one of the country’s most infamous cold cases. Three siblings vanished in broad daylight, sparking a massive search and decades of sightings, suspects, and theories—yet no definitive answers. Their case reshaped how Australia thought about child safety, trust, and public spaces.

Then, we turn to the Jack family, who disappeared in 1989 while traveling through British Columbia’s remote wilderness. Their truck was later found abandoned along a rugged forest road, but the family themselves were never seen again. With harsh terrain, limited evidence, and conflicting theories, the case remains one of Canada’s most unsettling mysteries.

Together, these stories raise the same chilling questions: how can people vanish so completely, and why do some cases refuse to be solved? We examine what is known, what remains disputed, and why these disappearances continue to haunt investigators—and the public—decades later.
