*UPDATE: The Main perpetrator, Bevan Spencer von Einem, died in December from natural causes while serving a life sentence in prison. In Adelaide, South Australia, a shadowy group preyed on teenage boys and young men during the late 1970s and early 1980s, leaving a trail of mutilated bodies and unanswered questions. They came to be known as "The Family", a loosely connected network suspected of abduction, abuse, and murder. Five young men, some barely teenagers, were killed in ways so brutal and calculated that the city still remembers them in horror. Despite decades passing, DNA reviews, and multi-million-dollar rewards, the truth about who was involved and why may never be fully uncovered… .

I'm from Adelaide. The depravity of the family murders still haunts us Edit. Bevan S V E died Dec 6 2025. He stayed silent. I was in my late teens when it started, and the rumours were that it was high up judges, politicians, and high profile businessmen involved. Sad to think in those days their financial status mean it was more important to protect their reputation rather than find justice for these boys. 😢 With everything going on in the E files the trend continues. Money buys anonymity. So sick. May they all be brought to justice

Hi Annie, I live in Adelaide SA! I’m so glad you are covering these sick, twisted and horrific murders. I was a child when Richard, the news readers son was found. I still remember seeing his parents at a church service crying and completely distraught. I asked my mum why are they so sad? She said some very bad people hurt their son……I didn’t understand at the time, but now that memory is burned in my brain…

It is unimaginable the trauma that these boys went through and I hope that they were unconscious.

From time to time, I've heard women say that they want to have sons and not daughters, because then they won't have to worry about their children being sexually assaulted. This case is a prime example of how people aren't home free from rape and sexual assault because they're male, adults, or both.

This kinda crap happens everyday, in every country. Until we start giving the death penalty, it will continue.

I swear, I think cops like to assume it’s always a run away kid so they don’t have to be bothered to look into it. Happens way too often.
