Another Benaroon Dr resident, Lydene Heslop, who lives further down the street, had been grocery shopping and *returned home minutes before William vanished.
She saw nothing out of the ordinary when she drove into the street and pulled into her driveway.
She said she was unloading groceries from her car when William was snatched sometime after 10.30am, just metres away from her home where her youngest child was inside.
She said at 11.30am there was a knock on the door and it was Anne-Maree from up the road and Williams mother.
I didnt hear anything, so if the person who took him came down Benaroon Dr, they did it without panicking or driving fast or taking off like an idiot, because I wouldve heard, Ms Heslop said.
Thats pretty good luck. Especially at 10.30am on a Friday
when there should only be one kid on the street, which is mine.

It was a knock at the door, but instinctively Lydene Heslop knew something was wrong.
It was so much more than just a knock, recalls Lydene, a 36-year-old mother of two and volunteer bookkeeper for the local tennis club, on whose accounts she was working at time. It was hard, insistent, a plea for help. Then I heard the voice of the woman who was knocking and I knew something awful had happened. It was a voice tinged with desperation.
That voice belonged to the mother of a missing boy, William Tyrell, a three-year-old last seen wearing a blue and red Spiderman outfit, whose disappearance on September 12 last year has baffled NSW police and cast a dark and enduring pall over Kendall, a small and otherwise peaceful rural community on the NSW mid-North Coast.
The mother and the grandmother were standing at the door. The mother said a little boy was missing, that he was playing in the backyard up the road and
hadnt been seen for about 25 minutes or so, says Lydene. She asked if Id seen him, but of course, I was inside
. I called out to my children, who were playing out the back, and asked if theyd seen him, but they hadnt and then all three of us started searching through the front yard, the side of the house and the backyard and the bush that borders the properties around here.
The mother had this haunted look on her face. I remember thinking that was how I would look if one of my children went missing. At one point, we all stopped to listen because he was only a little boy and if he was in the bush, then it wouldnt have been long before he stopped and started crying. We didnt hear a thing except the wind in the trees.
