Merrick began to develop swellings on his lips at the age of 21 months followed by a bony lump on his forehead and a loosening and roughening of the skin.

 The Beaumont children are presumably abducted and murdered in Glenelg Beach, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. 9-year-old Jane Nartare Beaumont, 7-year-old Arnna Kathleen and 4-year-old Grant Ellis were seen in the company of a tall, blond and thin-faced man with a sun-tanned complexion of thin to athletic build in his mid-30s and wearing swimming trunks before disappearing forever. As of 2018 an A$1 million reward was offered for information related to the cold case by the South Australian Government.
