WILLIAM TYRRELL BREAKTHROUGH AT LAST

THE HUNT FOR THE TRUTH OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE MISSING TODDLER RAMPS UP AFTER NEW EVIDENCE COMES TO LIGHT

- Jennie Noonan

It’s been over seven years since William Tyrrell vanished without a trace from his foster grandmother’s home in Kendall, NSW. The 3-year-old boy, on a road trip from Sydney to the NSW Mid North Coast with his foster parents, was last seen wearing a Spider-Man suit and playing in the yard with his 5-year-old sister. Since then, there have been more than 3000 calls to Crime Stoppers NSW, more than 600 persons of interest interviewed and the offer of a $1 million reward, but the mystery has devastatingly remained unsolved.

On November 15, police announced a new major operation and a “high-intensity” search that is grounded in a case breakthrough. “This activity is in response to evidence we’ve obtained in the course of the investigation,” Detective Chief Superintendent Darren Bennett told reporters. “It’s not speculative in any way.”
