Disappearance of William Tyrrell

William Tyrrell (26 June 2011 – disappeared 12 September 2014) is an Australian boy who became, at the age of 3, a missing person when he had been playing with his sister and wearing a Spider-Man suit. He is believed to have been kidnapped. Disappearance: William Tyrrell disappeared from his grandmother's house on Benaroon Drive in Kendall at 10.30am on 12 September 2014. At the time of disappearance, William was playing with his sister in the front yard and was wearing a Spider-Man suit. The house where William was last seen is directly across the bush land road from the Kendall State Forest, about 35 km south of Port Macquarie. Police said that the boy disappeared during a five minute window from sight. Investigation: Hundreds of police, State Emergency Services, Rural Fire Service and members of the community searched day and night for William. Specialist police, including the sex crimes squad form Strike Force were immediately formed. Motorcycles and helicopters were bought in to search for William. 200 volunteers searched overnight, hundreds of people combed rugged terrain around the home. Later, hundreds of police, State Emergency Services, Rural Fire Service and members of the community searched day and night for William. However, after 5 days of search, the police said they were unable to come up with any leads. The Police later began investigations on finding the drivers of two cars were spotted on the street on the day of William's disappearance. The cars described as being a white station wagon and an older-style grey sedan were parked in the street on the morning William Tyrrell went missing. These cars were noticed by William's mother since they were unusually parked on the street, rather than in one of the long driveways. The cars were seen with its drivers side windows down. The Police think suspicious of these particular vehicles as there is no logical reason why they would parked on the street before William's disappearance Current status: Despite various search efforts and months chipping away with no breakthrough by the police and the forensic testing which failed to turn up any trace of Tyrrell or clues about his disappearance. Therefore, the Police have yet to conclude what actually happened to Tyrrell. However, despite the lack of evidence, Chief Inspector Jubelin renewed his commitment to seeing the case and commented that “The investigation into the disappearance of William Tyrrell remains a priority for the NSW Police Force,”. He also said that the investigators would treat the case as though William was alive until they had evidence proving otherwise.
