Is there any indication whether the two parked cars remain untraced?
The main theory, at the time Det Jubelin described it in the 60minutes documentary, was MOO that WT walked to the roadside of the main section of Benaroon (the section that's downhill from the bend), and was abducted from there.
Is it possible instead, he walked to the roadside at the end of the main driveway, on the top section of Benaroon, and was abducted from there?
If the two parked cars are relevant then the theory would presumably be that WT was put into one of those cars.Yes, entirely possible and, in fact, would provide a more covert escape route through either the bush track to the cemetery and Albert Road or westerly to parts unknown that extends from the end of Benaroon Drive after you drive past William's GM's former residence. Perp drives past GM's, spots children, goes vua Benaroon and Ellendale to Albert Road and thence to cemetery. Walksback via bush track and voila! Perp would have to have had local knowledge and/or kniwledge William would be there..
There was also a track with gated access at the end of the first part of Benaroon Dr before turning right to drive past William's GM's driveways. I think it is between the Savage residence and #51.
In addition, there looks to be access to Batar Creek Road properties including a 'showground' via the yards of #48 and other properties with frontages on Benaroon Dr.
Yes, entirely possible and, in fact, would provide a more covert escape route through either the gated bush track to the cemetery from Benaroon Dr and onto Albert Road. It is ungated AFAIK in the westerly direction and wide enough for a 4WD to travel along to parts unknown. By the way, the track extends from the end of Benaroon Drive after you drive past William's GM's former residence.
Possible a perp drove past GM's, spotted children, then travelled via Benaroon and Ellendale to Albert Road and thence to cemetery. Perp then walked back via bush track and voila! Perp would have to have had local knowledge and/or known that William would be/was there and left unattended. Same for below.

Agreed. It's possible that an abductor had no prior knowledge of WT, or any children, being there.The perp may not have needed to know that William was there. As Jubelin says ... an opportunistic abduction fits the bill.

Agreed. It's possible that an abductor had no prior knowledge of WT, or any children, being there.
And MOO opportunistic abduction by a total stranger is one of the possibilities.
Abduction by a non-stranger (or non-stranger's accomplice) can be investigated in an extremely targeted way - a list can be made of all people who knew or had peripheral connections of any kind with the families or neighbours, and continuously extended to the second-tier (people connected to people connected to ...) and third-tier as the investigation proceeds, resulting in investigation and eventual ruling out of many 100's of people. A huge amount of work, but at least it's targeted. And I think we can be sure this has been and is being done, very thoroughly.
Abduction by stranger is much harder to investigate - because it's so much less targeted. If one starts with a list of everyone who lives in / used to live in / visits / drives through a 30 mile radius around the town, that's a huge list to work through, many thousands of people, and it's very difficult to make anything like a complete initial list of people to be questioned.
Agreed, if a perp used an escape route other than Benaroon drive proper, that would mean the perp had knowledge of the local areaI said and/or pertaining to knowledge of William located there on that date or left unattended at the time. Regardless of planned or randomoportunistic nature of kidnapping, perp would have had to have some knowledge of the local area if they used other routes rather than Benaroon Dr proper to make good their escape - and make good their escape they most certainly did.

What I am trying to do is write down a few things we can say with some level of certainty.
They are going to be few in number, but I think that qualifies as one of them
Another candidate might be this: that the drivers of the two parked cars were somehow associated with each other, and not complete strangers to each other.
That is worked out only from the cars being parked one behind the other, and assuming there was a reason for that.
Agreed if the two cars seen early that morning are indeed relevant. I'm more interested in the grey/grey-green car (one of the two?) whose driver made a right turn into the 'dead end' part of Benaroon Drive. They drove into GM's next door neighbour's driveway and reversed out, passing GM's house a second time. William and his sister were reported to be riding their bikes in the driveway at the time (around 9am) under the supervision of their FM.
Yes the car turning round is interesting. People who live on Benaroon Dr would normally use their own driveway to turn around, not someone else's.Agreed if the two cars seen early that morning are indeed relevant.

Can you please post the link for that? TY!

It's "in there" somewhere, but I couldn't find it in the threads just offhand ... but this is the image that was posted of the two vehicles:

If the two parked cars are relevant then the theory would presumably be that WT was put into one of those cars.
Would that have happened on the far side of the road where they had been seen parked, or would one of the cars move to the near side of the road first?
Or move to a completely different location like you mentioned and return on foot?
The police sketch shows both cars pointing towards the dead-end, so both cars would have to turn around to leave, if they left by surfaced road.
And the driver's windows of both cars are shown open, another mystery.
I think that police searching for a part of a 'vehicle' in the forest, in the early days, may hold some significance to the escape route.
Did they ever find that part? Who knows.
But I do think they know what happened, and how it happened, but they cannot tie down sufficient evidence for the prosecutor to agree with an arrest leading to a successful conviction ...... yet.
Police said Middle Brother State Forest and surrounds will be searched from Thursday morning. The focus of the search since William went missing last Friday morning has been the Kendall State Forest and the area around Benaroon Drive.
Superintendent Paul Fehon said the State Emergency Service's volunteers will walk the forest's trails as they search for part of a vehicle that may have become detached.
