I have also not read any reports about the kids playing on the balcony. Instead, I heard on a radio report this morning that the kids were playing 'chasings' and running around the house. If they were indeed on the balcony, BOTH of them, then surely the older sister must have seen or heard in which direction he went?! It is such a high balcony with unimpeded visibility and not all that big...
The house in question I think is the house of which a couple of Google photos were posted upthread, and the close up of the number indicates this is 48. It also aligns with images of the house published in msm that this house is on a corner, i.e. the last bend in Bendaroon Drive, before it heads up towards the bush. It is a house with pinkish-blonde coloured bricks.
As I previously mentioned upthread, I cannot conceive of how an abductor would be hanging around that area. There are far too few places to choose from, from which to potentially abduct a random child, and there is only one proper exit. It is a quiet area, evidently with people at home during the day, a street that is normally devoid of parked cars (as the pictures indicate) - how could someone lurking about not be conspicuous!? And how someone could pre-empt William/children being there, that day, at that time, and in that very instant 'unsupervised', on the grounds of a house that is occupied by elderly person/s. UNLESS they had inside information, and in that case there must be some kind of link to the family...
I can see why police have strongly been going down the path of William being lost in the bush BUT, as time marches on, how could they not have found him by now, in an area of up to ten squared kilometres? For the most part, these are experienced searchers.
I wonder if William went up a tree?
Or, if he's closer to the house still, like someone mentioned, underneath it for in some obscure place no one has obviously thought to look at yet?
If the kids were playing chasings or hide and seek of some sort, then it is conceivable that William found such a good hidey-hole that indeed no one can find him!!!
But, by the same token, if he was in the immediate vicinity of the house, even if not visible or underneath it etc, surely he would have heard people calling out for him?!
It really is starting to sound very bizarre, sadly.
