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. He had been playing at his foster grandmother's house with his sister, and was wearing a Spider-Man suit at the time of his disappearance.[2] Tyrrell is believed to have been abducted.[3][4][5][6]

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."

Former police commissioner says William Tyrrell case might never be solved​

The former top cop of NSW says it could take decades to solve the mystery surrounding the disappearance of missing toddler William Tyrrell, if it ever is resolved at all.

In an exclusive interview with news.com.au podcast Witness: William Tyrrell, former police commissioner Mick Fuller also defended the detectives investigating the 10-year-old case, saying they had run an “extremely professional investigation”.

“It was never going to be easy to solve and maybe it won’t get solved this time,” he said.

“But, you know, people won’t give up … there are new police coming through that will take over this case from (current lead detective) Dave Laidlaw at some stage, and there’ll be another fresh set of eyes there.”

Inquest into disappearance of William Tyrrell reaching its end

Inquest into disappearance of William Tyrrell reaching its end​

An inquest into the disappearance of William Tyrrell is nearing conclusion, with dates set for final submissions after five rounds of evidence about the missing toddler.

More than 10 years after he disappeared from his foster grandmother's home - and more than five after the inquest started - a coroner has ordered all submissions to be handed up by June 13.

The inquest into William's disappearance has examined search efforts for the three-year-old as well as the possible involvement of the foster mother in disposing of his body.


Deputy State Coroner Harriet Grahame has ordered counsel assisting the inquiry to file submissions by February 28, while the police commissioner's are due by April 29.

All other submissions must be filed by May 30, before responses are handed up by June 13.

The coroner will then set down a date to deliver her findings.
 

William Tyrrell is buried near well-known tree 20 minutes from where he went missing, according to disputed new claims​

William Tyrrell is buried near the “Bird Tree” on the New South Wales Mid North Coast, according to disputed claims that were never heard during an inquest into the three-year-old’s disappearance.

The claims were allegedly made by the brother of a convicted pedophile who was named a “person of interest” to the investigation. They are revealed today in the new episode of news.com.au’s investigative podcast Witness: William Tyrrell.

It comes after the recent inquest revealed no evidence against the woman identified by police as their main suspect, the child’s foster mother.

The Bird Tree is a well-known landmark in the area around Kendall, where William was reported missing in September 2014, sparking one of the biggest police investigations in Australian history.

The allegation is one of a series of shocking claims uncovered by a months-long investigation into the former person of interest, Frank Abbott.

These include allegations Abbott, who is currently in prison for child sex offences, also sexually assaulted other young or teenage victims. These were made separately by three people: one alleged victim, one alleged witness and a third man who claimed he knew the victim personally.

Knowledge of Abbott’s child abuse convictions was also widespread among his former neighbours in Johns River, a tiny town a short drive from Kendall, where William was reported missing.
 

Cop makes big call on explosive investigation into claims over where William Tyrrell’s body could be​

Convicted pedophile Frank Abbott should be forced to give evidence at the inquest into William Tyrrell’s disappearance to determine whether or not he knows what happened to the three-year-old, a former NSW homicide detective says.

Contested claims that the late Jeffrey Abbott claimed his younger brother Frank told him “he did do it” and William is buried up on Big Bird Mountain, a well known area in Kendall on the NSW Central Coast, should be thoroughly investigated and the area searched, ex-detective Peter Hogan said.

The claims about Abbott, who was named a ‘person of interest’ to the investigation, are revealed today in the new episode of news.com.au’s investigative podcast Witness: William Tyrrell. Jeffrey apparently told another man that his brother Frank had said William was “buried up on Big Bird Mountain there, where the big tree is”.

William Tyrrell's former foster mother has conviction overturned over different child

The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, successfully appealed her conviction for two counts of assault and two counts of intimidation against the different child.

Former foster mother of William Tyrrell has conviction overturned over different child​

The former foster mother of missing boy William Tyrrell has had her conviction for assaulting and intimidating a different child overturned due to her "unique and heartbreaking stresses".

The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, successfully appealed her conviction for two counts of assault and two counts of intimidation against the child.

She was initially placed on a 12-month community corrections order, which required that a conviction be recorded against her name in March last year.

On Friday, Judge Miiko Kumar found the four offences against the 59-year-old were "proven" but determined that the sentence was "too severe" and overturned the conviction.

"The appellant [the woman] has experienced a number of traumatic events, the most being the disappearance of a child who she clearly loved," Judge Kumar told Downing Centre District Court.

Cops address bombshell discovery of Spider-Man suit near where William Tyrrell vanished

The three-year-old vanished from his home wearing a Spider-Man suit back in 2014.

Spider-Man suit found less than 30 minutes from where William Tyrrell disappeared from in 2014​

A spiderman suit has been found on a beach at Dunbogan on the NSW mid-north coast, not far from Kendall, where William Tyrrell disappeared in 2014.

Police do not believe it is the same Spiderman suit the three-year-old was wearing in 2014 when he went missing.

It’s understood the brand of the costume and fabric do not match William’s suit.

The discovery was made on Monday, and it’s not clear whether someone left it there accidentally or as a hoax.

Child’s Spider-Man suit discovery near William Tyrrell disappearance spot sparks police response at rural location​

Police have searched a rural property just several kilometres away from where William Tyrrell disappeared after a child’s Spider-Man suit was found at the location.

A NSW spokesperson said Mid-North Coast Police District on Monday were alerted to a Spider-Man suit being found at a property on Beach Place at Dunbogan – a small coastal town approximately a 20-minute drive from Kendall.

Officers searched the property on Tuesday and the suit has since been examined by Strike Force Rosann detectives of the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad.

Any connection between the suit and the missing boy has been ruled out.

Nothing else of interest was found during Tuesday’s search, police said.

The suit had reportedly been discovered as land was being cleared at the rural property which had recently changed hands.

I'm glad they are looking into it, but it seems very much a nothing burger if it doesn't match. The fabric would be not in very good shape after all this time, too.
