Quite a few things worry/alarm me about this case. Here are a few:
Parents statement ""William
up until a month ago was obsessed with all things fire engine and would tell us his name was 'Firefighter William', a future he deserves to fulfil...." - why only up until a month ago? Odd thing to say. What happened a month ago?
The focus on the forest, and seeming slowness to broaden the thinking. Just because William's last photo showed him in a Spider-man suit doesn't mean he'd be wearing that anytime soon thereafter - a real abductor stealing to order would have him in a change of clothes straight away. CCTV of gas stations on all roads leading to major cities?
Last sighting of William by someone who is not a parent/relative/caregiver? The 'last photo' places him there at around an hour before he disappeared - lack of scent trail by dogs tells me that he went nowhere on foot.
I am intrigued by the 'errand' run by the father. What, where, why?
As for the 'well-dressed, well-spoken' man who stopped at a local shop on Friday morning to ask directions to nearby Batar Creek Road - nobody planning an abduction would ask directions in this age of sat nav!
As for the words of the woman who calls herself 'Nicole', a few things stand out to me:
"William is pretty much always happy. He
was happy to play in the garden and be
with his family.' - odd thing to say - why would he
not be happy with his family?
"We don’t know of anyone who has had prior contact with William" - strange thing to say, as humans are mostly in contact with others and do not live in isolation. What does she mean by 'contact'?
"He was playing in the backyard and running around the house with his sister. We are going to continue to comb the area
trying to come up with something." - odd wording?

Maybe searchers were/are looking for red/blue (Spider-Man suit) and missing a body. Such dense foliage. The focus has been so much on what we are told the boy was wearing. I note that the last photo shows the little sister wearing a hoody (I think), indicating outdoor temperature maybe, yet the boy is barefoot in a thin looking Spider-Man suit - it looks more like pyjamas to me, though maybe I am wrong. His legs look rather thin and chilly. Just an observation.
Jmo, just parking some thoughts.
