Neighbour Anne-Maree Sharpley recalled: I just remember saying dont worry, well find him, and that has stuck with me because obviously they didnt find him.
Williams father returned from shopping soon after.
I remember standing there in tears watching him run up and down the street, calling out Williams name with sweat pouring off him, Ms Sharpley said. It was heartbreaking. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets. Never once did we think that we wouldnt find him here.
Williams grandmothers house in Benaroon Drive sits at the end of a quiet dead-end street next to dense, hilly
bushland. Any car driving into Benaroon Drive would be conspicuous and no one saw or heard anything.
If you are inside the house you are looking straight down the street, Supt Fehon told The Australian. You have got a view hundreds of metres down the street. Youd hear a car coming.
Police have confirmed they had considered a track that starts at the end of Benaroon Drive and leads through scrubland to Kendall cemetery, could be relevant.
EVERY one of the 21 houses in the exclusive estate around his grandmothers house have been searched from top to bottom twice, including roof cavities and septic tanks.

Just posting bits from this article, probably posted before.
William's dad was calling out up and down the street, so all neighbours were alerted pretty early that a little child was lost.
I think Supt Fehon remarking that people would have heard a car entering the street is a bit of stretch. Most of the houses in that road are set back with trees out front. Making a claim like that just confuses things, imo. The grandmother saw and heard nothing. William didn't disappear in thin air, someone took him. It's harder to believe they were on foot, unless they entered a house nearby so, this person/s MUST have come in a vehicle.
All the houses were checked top to bottom, exactly when, we don't know. I'm sure the police would have run the dogs through the homes too, well, I hope so.
Also, I've checked the map, I can't find the track that leads to the cemetery from Benaroon Dve.
