THis might be totally way out of left field, but I wonder if the person who could be responsible for William's disappearance is someone who has been on the radar of police in some way, even if it was to be checked out and dismissed in that particular instance, with Daniel Morcombe's murder?
William has been missing for over a year. It is suspected that he may have been taken by someone with links to a paedophile or a related group.
I was reading this article on Daniel :
http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/crime-court/the-indepth-story-about-daniel-morcombes-killer-brett-peter-cowan-and-how-they-caught-him/story-fnje8bkv-1226854592346
and this bit during the inquest struck me as very interesting (bbm) ...
The next morning. Buttering up over, Johns went in for the kill.
Youre pretty unlucky, arent you? he asked his number one suspect.
Youve committed these two offences and both times, for some reason, the victims gone and provided a statement straight away saying that you had choked them. And on your account, on neither occasion did it occur. An extraordinary coincidence, isnt it?
Do you know how rare the type of crime is, and to define it, Im talking about situations where a juvenile boy, a boy under 18 years of age, is snatched or kidnapped from a public area and the perpetrator is never found or isnt found for years that type of crime?
In your lifetime, for instance, apart from Daniels case, how many times do you think that mightve happened in Queensland?
Cowan didnt know.
Well, I can tell you.
The answer is never, Johns retorted.
This is the only time. And do you understand that,
as of December 2003, you were one of the very few people in Queensland, if not Australia, who had a proven history of kidnapping and sexually assaulting young boys after taking them from public areas. Do you understand that?
Cowan understood.
You havent ever cursed how unlucky you are that, here you are, someone trying to get yourself back on the straight and narrow, stay away from assaulting children, and you say you dont want to go back to jail, and then this event (happens) this event thats only happened once in your lifetime in Queensland.
(And) you, the person with this history who would immediately attract suspicion, happens to be right there, right then?
I know that the comments to Cowan were about instances in Qld being extremely rare, so I wonder if they are as equally as rare in other states? Could the people that fall into this rare group (Qld and Australia) possibly have been in Kendall last year? I'm sure police have checked these people out already, but the statement about the rarity of the kidnapper being found years after the kidnapping struck me as being important, probably because I don't remember reading or hearing that comment before during the case.
I would love to know who those rare people are and what connections they have to anyone in the past year who have been charged with historical crimes, if any.
Edit to add _ I would consider the driveway of the house at Benaroon Drive to be a public place.
