Hi everyone. First post here. Thought i would finally join in the discussion as I've really enjoyed reading it so far :waves:
A receipt for a coffee shop at 10am doesn't necessarily clear him. The distance from the coffee shop to Williams grandma's house is 13km, Google maps say it would take about 19 minutes. Still enough time to be at the house when William went missing. He could have easily ordered a takeaway coffee, planned to go to Williams Grandma's house to do the repair before going to the parade at 12pm. It just seems like such a long time between coffee and the parade (2 hours) when they are in the same place. Maybe he dropped MS off at the coffee shop and allowed her to use his card while he went to the house to do the repair. My partner quite often uses my debit card while he's at work to buy coffee or lunch.
Also, I'm fairly certain they have been married a lot longer than 2011 onwards. They had a business together back in 2000 with their initials and then Spedding as the business name.
To me he doesn't come across as an evil person, but I'm not discounting it. Plus there's the other more likely scenarios EG he accidentally ran over him and is covering it all up or someone he knows is involved and he is covering for them. He's had the grandkids for quite a long time, ~4 years or so. It wouldn't be easy having someone else's children for that long, especially as he's older and would expect to be settling down and relaxing, enjoying the last years of life. But who knows, maybe with the stress of the failed business he got offered money from someone to abduct William. Lots of possibilities here. I really feel for the families involved and for William of course. I'm glad this has been back in the news again because it was starting to seem like we would never hear what happened to him
