There’s been a notable development in the investigation regarding the abduction of two girls from Adelaide Oval over 50 years ago, as police have acquired a bone fragment discovered during a search in South Australia’s mid-north for evidence.
Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon haven’t been seen since they were taken from Adelaide Oval in 1973.
A bone piece found in the quaint town of Yatina, on a site once owned by Stanley Arthur Hart, has been handed over to major crime detectives.
Private investigators, who consider Hart a prime suspect in the 1973 abduction case, discovered the bone.Â
These detectives have had the bone examined by a forensic anatomist, who is 90 percent confident that it belongs to a small human pelvis and seems to contain embedded glass.
Although South Australia Police had previously dismissed Hart as a suspect, they stated today: “If the bone is verified as human remains, further investigations will be conducted to ascertain any connection to the disappearance.”
Authorities also cautioned against jumping to conclusions, adding: “Identifying the bone as human does not necessarily mean it belongs to either Joanne or Kirste.”
Officers say they can’t give a timeline as to when the results of the testing will be known.
