Allen Geoffrey Redston was an Australian schoolboy who was kidnapped and murdered on 28 September 1966, having disappeared the previous day.

On 27 September 1966, Allen Redston was sent by his mother to buy ice cream for himself and his brother from the local shops in the Canberra suburb of Curtin.

[2] After waiting for a short period of time, Redston left the area and was not seen again until his body was discovered the next day.

[2] A manhunt began and quickly turned up the descriptions of two suspects: "a blond-haired youth, aged 13–15", and a young man.

Two boys also came forward to report incidents earlier that year in which two men with the same description had bound and attempted to murder them in a similar way.
