Just confirming here (to my own question) it looks like Chapman told the local police officer's SIL the night William disappeared, so it seems he thought he'd reported it. But that didn't actually get to police officially so it was March/Apr 2015 before he was interviewed.

Seems he told a relative of the local police officer he had known since she was a baby and she was going to pass it on several weeks later after being encouraged by one of his sisters.

Mr Chapman said his sister eventually convinced him to go to police “several weeks later”. @10NewsFirst @10Daily

The court heard Mr Chapman was not interviewed about the sighting until another person who heard about the sighting through the local grapevine told police in March 2015, prompting them to seek him out. @10NewsFirst @10Daily


Who knows who it was that told the police to seek him out.


Mr Chapman will resume his testimony shortly, when the court will be shown a video walkthrough he did with detectives in 2017. @10NewsFirst @10Daily

I'm confused. Didn't somewhere say faded red.? Or is that another car?

That was me speculating. It is another car that has been mentioned.

So I am assuming he told the visitors what he witnessed.

I was wondering the same thing. And if he did, they surely would be called as a witness to clarify what Mr Chapman has stated.

Bill Spedding’s lawyer, Peter O’Brien is now questioning Mr Chapman about the police investigation into the sighting.

IMO he’s trying hard to find flaws in the investigation to make more of a case against Police regarding BS suing them

I'm simply speechless that Mr Chapman is confident he saw William in that car, and even after seeing the news report that very night about him missing, he made no effort to go to the police and report the sighting.
I just can't believe it.
There were literally hundreds of people searching bush land for this little boy, yet this man has seen him being driven away and says nothing !

Im speechless too, all I can do is shake my head and think WTF.
I cant see this case being solved now.

 

[madoodi]

Is it possible that what PS saw as light red could in fact be what mr Chapman saw as "fawn" ?
Could the car PS saw possibly had been doing a "run" through the day before?
IMOO

The inquest will resume shortly, with testimony from local man Ronald Chapman and local woman Katrina Cherry. Mr Chapman claimed to have seen a boy in a Spider-Man suit in backseat of a car the day William disappeared. @10NewsFirst @10Daily

ACA Katrina who lived with TJ. Will be interesting.

Sounds as if they may be leading into Jones testifying soon?
