00:00We begin tonight with what could prove a significant development in the search for the missing

00:04Beaumont children.

00:06Investigators have made an unexpected discovery at the old Castelloy site, a slab of hardened

00:12sand buried beneath tonnes of dirt.

00:16Breaking ground in the hope of cracking South Australia's most mysterious cold case.

00:27This latest effort at the old Castelloy site in North Plimpton owned by the prime suspect

00:32Harry Phipps, drawing nationwide interest and a crowd of spectators as excavators moved

00:38in.

00:42After spending hours removing topsoil they finally hit what was the ground's surface

00:48in 1966, the year Jane, Arna and Grant Beaumont went missing from Glenelg Beach.

00:54In afternoon an unexpected find for the investigating team when they came across this large hardened

01:01slab.

01:02At this stage we don't know, we really don't know, but it's hard to say, we don't know

01:06why it's there, so we've just got to keep digging.

01:09At first it was thought to be concrete but now they believe it's a hardening material

01:13used to compact sand.

01:15We are going through each and every bit of earth, if there was something in the earth

01:21we'll find it.

01:22An entire state holding its breath.

01:25We just want them to be found and just have some closure for it and be able to all just

01:30go, you know, these beautiful little children are at peace.

01:33It would be good to get closure, absolutely, absolutely.

01:37Hannah Ford, Seven News.

01:40Let's go live to Hannah and Hannah we could get some real answers as early as tomorrow.

01:48That's right Will, it's tools down tonight but crews will be back early in the morning

01:53and we may know by this time tomorrow if the bodies of the missing Beaumont children are

01:57in fact buried here at the old Castelloy site.

02:01It'll be a big day.

02:03Investigators will have to dig through another two metres of dirt.

02:06If this site at North Plimpton can crack the case, that's the depth they'll need to reach.

02:10They also intend to revisit the section dug up by police back in 2018 but tomorrow the

02:16machinery will be going even deeper.

02:19So for now, we wait and watch with hope.
