Detectives from South Australia’s major crime unit recently made a visit to Yatala Labour Prison to meet with Bevan Spencer Von Einem, one of the region’s most infamous child murderers.

While police have not officially confirmed the meeting, sources from 9News report that officers engaged in a conversation with Von Einem for approximately an hour in a secured interview room within the prison.

Two detectives specializing in major crimes were observed entering the facility and later exiting about 90 minutes later, equipped with notebooks and a small video camera.

The content of the conversation remains unknown, and there is minimal optimism that Von Einem disclosed any information regarding the notorious Family Murders.

Despite widespread speculation, Von Einem has consistently denied involvement in several alleged crimes, and many believe he will take his secrets to the grave.

He’s been serving a life sentence, convicted in 1984 of the murder of 15-year-old Richard Kelvin.

It's widely believed Von Einem, who has long denied involvement in multiple crimes, will die with his secrets.

That killing has long been linked to four others for which no one has ever faced justice. 

All are thought to have been connected to a sinister group of men known as “The Family”. 

Von Einem is now terminally ill with lung cancer, and it is unclear how long he has left to live, or if detectives intend to pay him another visit.
