Pictures have emerged of children's bikes in the driveway and a trampoline in the backyard of a quiet family where police are digging in search for missing NSW three-year-old William Tyrell.

Neighbours in Bonny Hills said an elderly couple, aged in their 50s and 60s, and their three grandchildren aged between nine and 13 have rented the home for at least two years.

lots of pics in the above link

One of the photo captions in that article says William disappeared from his foster grandma's house. Are they now acknowledging that William was fostered? I haven't been keeping up.

What I don't understand is motive. I also don't get how a crying baby sound warrants a phone call to police?

It could have been a pet too right, I mean isn't that couple from Victoria? Or are they suggesting it's the same couple and that they were using the caravan park to house William for awhile? I think a child crying would be unusual in that park because it was mostly grey nomads.

People in their 50s are not what I was thinking of when they said "elderly"! That's middle aged. Most 50 somethings are still in full time work. I put elderly at 65+ these days.

Not important really, it just changes my mental picture of what we're looking at

made me feel ''''decrepid'''' :tantrum:

and 60 somethings work too

bbm: that's what I understood created the curiosity of the park managers.....no kids at a retirement park

Is this part of the wood pile being excavated?

noticed lots of mentions of the woronora river, maybe theres a little cabin or caravan there too, maybe a little boy went for a boat ride?

Some articles say infant, some say child. The reports often get things mixed up. It seemed to be enough for police to be on their way to Victoria after obtaining these peoples' address from the caravan park owner?

Yes I'm thinking it was the couple staying at the caravan park (child free perhaps). I'm confused as to why they are reporting them being from Victoria unless I'm completely muddled up.
I'm thinking more than a crying child was heard.

 

[Mrs G Norris]

Yeah they def said couple from Victoria, unless that's just what the couple said at the time and what the caravan park owner thought?

omg...........from your link

'police excavated the burn-off section of the backyard, and also measured a concrete slab that was laid for a shed currently under construction. A development application for renovation of the house is believed to have been lodged some time last year

That's creepy

 

[Mrs G Norris]

How confusing is the information in that article, one minute they say working class grandparents rent the house, and that both properties are owned by an elderly couple, then in the first line of the article they say:

Police are concentrating their search for missing three-year-old William Tyrell on a set of rooms beneath the floorboards of a house owned by a working class couple in their sixties.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ted-toddler-William-Tyrell.html#ixzz3PQZYc8LI

So is it just one couple that own both properties and are 'working class' << haven't heard that one in awhile, is that some kind of euphemism for british and northern?

ETA: confusion lifted ..

The husband and wife, who own both the home and the shop which have been raided, are grandparents who have run several businesses on the mid-north coast of NSW.

Ahhh ..

On the subterranean rooms, well I'm not sure how weird that is, I've seen houses like that before, and used to be common in houses built on a slope with the rooms underneath being used for storage or access for air conditioning ducts etc.

 

[Oddsocks]

I wonder if this fellow asked for directions on 12.09.2014

 

[newone]

how could a non owner apply for a building permit - normally only owner of the property would have to do that unless owner approved of renter doing it KWIM

 

[Angeline]

Just saw that, newone:

The neighbours' wife, who also did not want to be named, said detectives asked them when the burn-off spot was last used and when the concrete slab in the yard was laid. 'Those were the only two things they were interested in,' she said.

That's very true My own parents are in their 60s and still work and are as active as ever, "elderly" might have meant 50+ back in the dark ages haha

 

[Mrs G Norris]

I think reporters are all mixed up on whether they own the house or not, conflicting facts in one article .. look another contradiction:

Cheryle Dale, the former owner of the house - which is rented by a small business owner and his wife, who also rent the office space searched by police - told Daily Mail Australia that each of the rooms above ground has a corresponding section under the floor.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ted-toddler-William-Tyrell.html#ixzz3PQZYc8LI

And yeah, if they rented it, how on earth could they apply for an extension .. and why would they be building on .. no they must OWN the house.

Photos on FB show sceptic tank lid

 

[Angeline]

For what it's worth, it's unusual for someone to rent a property out there. The properties are quite large. Too much maintenance involved for someone to rent. Police seem to think the concrete slab is connected. This must have been really well planned if they applied for an extension in advance - to hide evidence under the concrete slab (if that's what happened.)
