Stuart Mullins

Stuart Mullins was born in Glenelg, South Australia, in the late 1950s. He grew up in Seacombe Gardens, a mere five kilometres from Somerton Park, where the Beaumont family resided, and holds multiple personal connections to the family and the case. He attended the Nepean College of Advanced Education, Penrith, now the University of Western Sydney, where he obtained his teaching qualifications. He has worked in multiple roles abroad including with former SAS personnel for the Scottish Adventure School on the island of Raasay, working with unemployed teenagers from Glasgow, Dundee, and Stirling, as a Physical Education teacher in Durban, South Africa, as well as with Club Mediterranean South Pacific as recreation manager, then at the five-star Hayman Island Resort North Queensland. He spent two years in Japan working in an executive search company, finally returning to Australia to start his own hospitality recruitment company, which he still runs today. Stuart assisted Alan Whiticker in his research for Alan’s book Searching for the Beaumont Children, published in 2006. He then teamed up with Alan as co-author of the bestselling The Satin Man: Uncovering the Mystery of the Missing Beaumont Children. Stuart was also the writer for Joe Bugner: My Story about the only heavyweight boxer to go the distance twice with the greatest, Muhammad Ali.
