I don't watch documentaries about IRL kids being murdered in the mid-1960. (That's always been more of my mom's thing\genre.) But maybe that's just Natalie's hobby.
I guess you can see that i'm a cinnamon roll. When I think about having a fandom, I think about characters from some Internet-popular show or videogame that did'nt really take off in Palermo (which also had somewhat high True Crime rates) - not about people getting killed decades ago before I was born. I see fandom as something that you make fanart and fanfiction of.

Crime Investigation Australia covered famous Australian crimes from across the decades. Although in the Beaumont Children episode, the re-enacting 'Beaumont' girls could have been made to look less 2000s and more 1960s.

I wish that the case of the Beaumont Children could be solved, while their parents are still living. It would be nice if Jim and Nancy Beaumont could finally get some closure, before they both die.
In many ways, a disappearance of a loved one is even worse than a murder. At least with a murder, you can have closure. It's horrible to lose a loved one to such a crime, but at least you can mourn. You have a grave that you can visit.
However, when a loved one just disappears, like the Beaumont children did, how can you have closure? Yes, they are most likely dead, but since the bodies have never been found, there is always a measure of doubt.
The case of Jaycee Dugard proved that, in some cases, the victims of such disappearances can still be alive. Jaycee vanished in 1991, but was found alive, 18 years later (she had been kidnapped). Granted it's unlikely that the Beaumont children (who would all now be middle aged adults) are alive, but you never know.
There is a show on the Investigation And Discovery Channel called Disappeared, which profiles cases such as this. Most of the victims that the show deals with are still missing to this day.

It's amazing how some cases stick in the public mind while others which are often just as deserving, fall into obscurity. The case of Kylie Maybury (the 1984 Melbourne Cup Day rape-kill outrage) was obscure for a long time until a suspect was arrested based on a DNA match.
Not only are the Beaumont Children dead, whoever killed them is probably dead as well. I've heard through my contacts that one of the parents has descended into senility, which is a blessing as they are now beyond knowing what happened to their kids and are now free of pain.

The killer is either dead, or very old. Either way, it doesn't look like this person will ever see the inside of a courtroom.

The Beaumont Children went with whoever took them willingly, at least at first. What happened after that is something we'll probably never know.

It does'nt need to be someone - could've been an alien abduction a la The Sims, a transdimensional portal, a timetravel portal, or someone like the Doctor or Rick Sanchez trying to get them to travel through time and dimensions...

ARNOLD RIMMER: "all those people who inexplicably vanish, [aliens] return them".
Although it would be interested if aliens returned the Beaumont Children. Would they be in their child bodies or would they have bodies to go with their age had they never disappeared? In all the stories where Glenn Miller is returned in modern-day Earth by aliens, Miller is the same age he was when he vanished in 1944.

That's due to time dilation (time slows down for you as you approach the speed of light). What was just a few months to Miller, decades had passed on Earth. It's like the scene at the end of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, when the aliens return all the people they had abducted from Earth, decades before (including the legendary Flight 19 crew, who vanished in the Bermuda Triangle in 1945). Those people were still young (and one has to wonder how they reacted when they found out that the loved ones they had left behind were either dead or decades older). As far as the Beaumont Children are concerned though, that scenario is very unlikely. Mind you, it would be nice if they were living on some distant world, but it's more likely that their bones are in some shallow graves somewhere. Perhaps someday they'll be found (and DNA testing could confirm their identities).

Even if they one day find Glenn Miller's plane in the English Channel, they won't find any sign of Miller's remains. Sea organisms will have devoured them. Just like how when they found the Titanic on the sea bed, there were no remains of the passengers.

If they ever do find the plane, they should just leave it. Don't want treasure hunters poking around it.

I believe that alien life exists. Not the Green Skinned Alien Space Babe of Star Trek, but alien life of some kind.

If aliens do exists, they won't be like what we saw on Star Trek or Doctor Who. They will be totally different than us.
