William Tyrrell (born 26 June 2011) is an Australian boy who disappeared at the age of 3 from Kendall, New South Wales, on 12 September 2014.

Despite extensive investigations, as of 21 June 2019, five years after his disappearance, Tyrrell has not been found, or his abductor(s) identified. On 12 September 2016, two years after his disappearance, a reward of A$1 million was offered for the recovery of William and does not require the arrest, charging or conviction of any person or persons.[7]

William Tyrrell fifth anniversary of disappearance, questions on police handling

Today marks five years since William Tyrrell vanished without a trace from his foster grandmother's home, and questions are now being asked about a witness who claims to have seen him.

On September 12, 2014, about 10.15am, William went missing from the home in Kendall on NSW's mid north coast when he went to play in the yard.

Now, on the anniversary of the disappearance, police have launched a new hotline directly into the coroner's office, which is investigating.

But journalist Caroline Overington, who has closely followed the case and started the podcast Nowhere Child, has now spoken on William's foster mother publicly attacking police, saying they don't have any real leads.

"The investigation is now five years old and they don't have any real leads and there is no forensic evidence collected," she told Seven's Sunrise on Thursday.

"No trace of William has been found - not even a shoe or a hair or any sign that he was ever really here, and that is frustrating.

"But the police can't always tell you what they're doing.

"They always have something going on in the background."

NSW Detectives suspect foster mother dumped William Tyrrell's body after he fell from home's balcony in Kendall and died​

Detectives in the William Tyrrell case suspect the toddler's body was dumped in bushland by his foster mother after he accidentally died falling from the family home's balcony.

It was reported on Tuesday night that investigators had handed a brief to the Director of Public Prosecution this month seeking advice on whether the foster mother should be charged with interfering with a corpse and perverting the course of justice.


Detectives claim the foster mother, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, tried to hide the three-year-old's body following a fatal fall at his foster grandmother's property.

Investigators claim the foster mother was spotted driving the foster grandmother's car in bushland near a riding school in Kendall, a short drive from their home.

It is there where it's suspected she dumped William's remains.

According to The Daily Telegraph, there are also claims of inconsistencies with the foster mother's story on September 12 when she reported him missing.

His foster mother has always denied any wrongdoing.

In my opinion this is bull. He didn't accidentally fall from any balcony. I can see them saying it to give her an "out" and reason to TALK... Maybe...

He was three so what, he climbed up on the balcony railing? Fell? And that fall caused his death? What floor by the way? Possible I guess (highly unlikely) but why the heck would they even think this? Something she or someone said? In that case, I would believe it even less. They aren't his mother OR his grandmother. I don't care if they put "foster" in front of those terms or not.

'You're a bad mother': Court hears more recordings of alleged abuse by Tyrrell foster mother

William Tyrrell's foster mother blamed the pressure of a police investigation for her alleged abuse towards a different child, a court has heard.

The former foster mother of William Tyrrell has been caught on secret police recordings saying she kicked a child as a result of the intense pressure she was under, including from the Tyrrell investigation.

The woman and her husband, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, are fronting Parramatta Local Court for a five-day hearing this week.

On Monday, the woman pleaded guilty to two counts of common assault but denied two counts of stalking or intimidation of the child. The man has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and intimidation.

<snip>
"I kicked [redacted] this morning. I kicked [redacted] hard. It's not OK," she said on the recording.

"I'm not coping."

She tells the friend she believed police were investigating her over William Tyrrell's disappearance.

"I found out and I lost it," she said.

"They're trying to trip me up on stuff… they're doing it because they f****d it up."

She also expressed a belief that she was stuck in the middle of a political fight over the Tyrrell investigation.

Later that same day, another recording heard the woman apologise to the child.

"I lost complete control and I need to apologise. I am sorry I did that," she said in the recording.

"There's a lot going on for me that you don't know about, a huge amount of pressure and your poking the bear is triggering me and I am right at the end of my coping. I need you to just stop."

William Tyrrell's foster father cleared of lying to secret crime body

William Tyrrell's foster father cleared of lying to secret crime body​

Missing toddler William Tyrrell's former foster parents have been cleared of lying to a powerful crime-fighting body, despite covert recordings capturing an assault against a child.

Magistrate John Arms was not convinced the foster father knowingly gave false evidence when called before the NSW Crime Commission in November 2021 as part of a joint investigation into William's disappearance.

"It is clear the issues that were raised in relation to these offences are matters of an ancillary nature to the basis of the investigation," the magistrate said on Tuesday.

The foster mother was previously acquitted of giving false or misleading evidence to the commission in November 2022 about the same "ancillary" matter.

She also dismissed suggestions at the commission she had found William dead, potentially after falling from a verandah, and taken charge of a "situation beyond remedy".

The officer-in-charge since 2020, Detective Sergeant Andrew Lonergan, told Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court it was one of multiple theories in the toddler's disappearance.
