Something To Talk About with Samantha Armytage: Retired Homicide Detective Gary Jubelin, 02 May 2021:
(33:50)
Samantha Armytage: Do you know who killed William Tyrrell?*
Gary Jubelin: (pauses) Simple answer I say "No", because I've got suspicions on certain people. I've never said I know definitively what's happened to William, and I'd like to put this out, too: I don't want to say that if they'd left me on the case I would have definitely found out what happened to William. I led the investigation for four years; I was the longest
on the investigation, and I was also the person in charge of the investigation. So, there's a lot of information that I've got that causes me to suspect certain people. Um, and I'm not saying that in plural, I'm saying individuals; there's certain individuals that I had reason to suspect. (pause) I think it's a matter that's
got to be solved. I don't think we can accept that a child can be abducted** in a place like Benaroon Drive and police not come up with the answers. I know police are still working on it, I hope they're putting in the-- working at it with the same intensity that I worked on the investigation. It's a matter before the coroner and hopefully the coroner will come up with some answers, but it's a difficult investigation but... at my stage of my career,
they're the investigations that I felt comfortable running. There's a lot of experience that comes into working Homicide as long as I did, and if I felt running the William Tyrrell investigation, because of the importance of it, the profile of it or whatever, and there was a better person to run it than myself, I would have gladly handed it over, it was too important, it's just... It's sad. I feel sorry for the families in so many different ways, but the fact that there's been this internal turmoil within the police about this - how do you think
they [the families] feel? It must make it very hard for them."

*The coroner's findings haven't been presented yet, so IMO we don't know whether the evidence shows that William is more likely to have died or not, or (if death is likely) how he died.
**But
was William abducted? Presumably the coroner will have to decide about this too?
