'I'm Confident My Son Is Still Alive': The Case Of The Lost Boy
In March 2015, Fiona Lu showed up at her son Mike Zhao-Beckenridge's school to pick him up, only to find he was missing. Panicked, she called the police, convinced that her ex-husband John Beckenridge, whom Mike adored, had taken him.
By the time the authorities stepped in, John and Mike were already on the run. Days later, John’s car was discovered at the bottom of a cliff, but there was no sign of either of them.
Journalist Michael Wright, co-host of The Lost Boy podcast, explores two possibilities: either Mike and John died in March 2015, or they’re still alive today.

    People that think keli shd be out of prison simply have political agendas. Sure.. not proven beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law and standing up for legal "rights" is one thing. It doesnt mean tegan is alive.... anf xanthe and her ilk Know this. Keli Lane is clearly very damaged... keli knows whatbcreated her and what fear and self preservation and stress drove her thru life and ahe knows where the damage was done and when. You dont do what she has done... not to her degree over and over... without having some SERIOUS psychological.problems.

    It isnt as tho she tells people everytime that she was pregnant... not after her first two.pregnancies and being pushed to anortions, and those were traumatic experineces.. so can you see her telling "andrew"? She had found her own solution... adoption. However, for her own reasons, she may wrll have abandoned tegan to her fate. I wish i could find shows about thr taxi driver who took her from Hospital. He had a bizarre story whether you believe it or not. 22:04 the police werent looking at the TOTALITY of evidence.. what the heck.picture DID Keli fit if not one that is wholly dusfinctional? And pethaps she kept her final child BECAUSE she was being looked at by police. She DIDNT havr a close knit family theyre all closed off and cold emotionally. There was no emotional.safety for keli, she couldnt confide in her parents about anything!

James was a beacon of light and truth in a world where the need to have eyes on the ground to report the ACTUAL facts only increases. His moral courage and unwavering commitment to speak truth to power will NEVER be forgotten. His memory will NEVER be forgotten. James is by your side Diane. Thank you for the work that you continue to do and honour James' work. Your moral courage is inspiring. All the best. 45:33

    Appreciate the author / journalist speaking compassionately about the brothers, and the idea that they are not a danger to society. Horrifying what happened to them as children. I haven't seen the "Monsters" Netflix series, but I did watch the other series mentioned with Edie Falco, so good to know it was pretty accurate.

    This will never be solved. The cops made a suspect lie about his testimony and the lead detective on the case back then is still trying to blame an innocent kid from back then. Threatened the poor kid and still thinks he has something to do with it. He definitely doesn't. They ignored tips of ppl that saw the van taking the kids. The cops botched this so bad, it'll never be solved

    Breaks my heart. Justice for all and rest her soul. My love goes with her family. My thoughts are that she had an interface installed externally, on her laptop, maybe all of her devices. I have zero doubt that her mental health was used against her with view of de validating her account of what was potentially purposeful and singular gaslighting. It reads strongly to me that someone was afraid of exposure directly stemming from what this woman knew. If your device has been illegally accessed ( inclusive of police without a valid search warrant) The porting will show up as anomalous activity in your usage history. You can gain access to your own data within the data retrieval process - this is via your network provider. Ideally if you have experienced anything like this, it will be executed in such a way that nobody around you will believe you. Your best bet is to to write three letters which detail clearly what you believe you know to be truth, with dates, times, places and names. Complete descriptions of people you believe to be involved to the best of your ability. Descriptions of voices if contact was incoming to your device. Three copies of your account left in the care of three separate people who validate your experience and cannot be bought for their cooperation. Ideally the account should be made a copy of and directed to investigative media in event of your disappearance or death, inclusive of (apparent) suicide. Access to your network data history should ideally be bequeathed in writing to your trusted persons in event of your death or disappearance. As it reads to me, this woman was vulnerable and up scared and trusted the wrong person, maybe more than one - with what she believed to be true. My belief is that it is best practice to direct your account to investigative media via entrusted persons because you cannot ascertain the modus operandi of all police involved. My reasons for believing that the justice system is due for a massive cleanup operation is based partly upon my personal lived experience of attempting to access my own information within FOI QPRIME and QLD health records. The barriers are designed to make it as expensive, complex, difficult and denigrating as it can possibly be. Un navigable for ordinary people, let alone anyone who cannot afford legal representation or an advocate in event of compromised mental health. Sandrine was a vulnerable person. Noted here publicly that incoming calls to the VPU unit of QPS are not recorded. Queensland Police Service and especially the designers of its directives need a huge clean out. The current system is rotten to the core. My advice is that a person is as safe as they keep themselves. Begin by protecting your information in event of your own disappearance. Exposure is the primary fear of the dark heart at the core of this states justice system. Just my thoughts.

    The one thing I don't understand about all the hypothesis is how did the wire from the Thomas farm end up at the Crewe farm. The profiler says the murderer had probably not planned disposing of the bodies. Did he bring the wire with him to do the murder because surely he did not drive the 15km to the thomas farm to get some wire after the event. Demler definitely very odd. He was phoned by the stock agent saying the Crewes had not answered the phone all weekend at 7am on the Monday. I would have dashed over straight away to see if everything was ok. It was not until later that the transport company phoned Demler and asked him to go check on the Crewes before Demler went over there.
