I've wondered whether in TV/video appearances FP are represented by actors. That is, the responses to interviewer questions really are the FP' words, but somebody else is saying the words and acting FP' distress.
Pretty sure it's really them. Obviously, can't identify face, so can't be 100% sure, but it doesn't not look like them. It's their approximate silhouette at least!
What I meant was . . . I thought Frogwell was saying that, since sister had been persuaded to keep William's story a secret from people outside the family, in order to protect her privacy, it wasn't a stretch to think the FP could have required her to lie to the police about the circumstances of William's disappearance. And if so, I disagree.
I guess the efficacy of getting a young child to lie convincingly for a long time would depend on how much the child knew, or saw, in the first place.
White lie?
Or maybe strategy from the get goes?
In their words

P: When did you guys last see him.
M: That morning on the 12th at Mums Place.
D: About 10:15
M: Nooo
I definitely think it's possible that the foster mother was not keeping track of time. It was the first full day of a holiday in the bush at mum's place. It probably felt very safe. The uncertainty about what time it was exactly that the FM or FGM had eyes-on WT last means that at least for me, there is still a small chance that he simply did wander much further and much faster than was accounted for based on the idea that it was 5 minutes or less, and he then met misadventure somewhere along the way. There are so many stories of bodies found when earlier searches had passed unbelieabley close by but not seen. I put little stock in the fact the dogs didn't trace his scent. There are just as many cases where dogs, for whatever reason, couldn't trace scents or traced them wrong.
I found her incredibly calm during the 000 call. I'd be a wreck, and yes I can say that with certainty, because I always go into hysterics in emergencies! So it does make her a little hard to relate to. I can't deny that. It doesn't mean I think she's guilty of anything, but it doesn't make her very sympathatic to me. Something about the Where's William? campaign leaves me cold as well. Reminds me a lot of the McCann's.
Was KT using the Tyrrell name prior to William's disappearance? I wondered if she started using it so as to identify herself as William's mother, and William got the name from different people altogether.
The earliest that I guess anyone here can confirm is that she was using it within hours of WT's disappearance (unless anyone here knows her personally), because I remember her defending that photo of WT that was first used in the very earliest SM posts, when they were still assuming he was missing in the bush.
I was at home, bored, that day, and doing very little but refreshing FB. Hence why I was quickly able to access the FD's FB page and do some other relevant googling.
