South Australia's most enduring cold case is to be revisited, with the site of an Adelaide factory to be dug up again following new information on the missing Beaumont children.
Investigations into the 1966 disappearance of nine-year-old Jane, seven-year-old Arnna and four-year-old Grant have led detectives back to the factory they first excavated in 2013.
A fresh dig at the North Plympton site, which is now the Castalloy factory, will begin in the next few weeks, police say.
The Seven Network conducted their own investigations into the site and passed information to South Australian police.
