I've tried to make some notes about "7News Investigates: The Disappearance of William Tyrrell" in case anyone wanted to see it and can't, but it's hard to condense 1.5 hours (most of which seemed to be ad-breaks). My apologies for leaving most things out and for whatever I've got wrong:
A former FBI profiler and former NSW Police detective, Kris Illingsworth:
- if William had run off he would not have gone much further than the closest 3 or 4 houses;
- William had been told his foster father was on the way home and was running around the corner of the house and down to the lawn near the road and/or near the corner of Benaroon Drive (where there's a right-angle bend in the road) and back up to the corner of the house several times;
- FFC noticed within five minutes that William had gone;
- no one could have predicted William would be there so it must have been a spontaneous crime, not pre-meditated;
- the two parked cars which FFC said she saw are "certainly of interest" (CO said one was white, one was tan); the people in the cars would have had a clear view of William running up and down at the side of the house; and it's not surprising that FFC remembered things later, because shock can confound memories;
- the neighbours who thought they heard the postie vehicle might have heard the crime occur; if so, it shows the offender did not create a commotion and has self control;
- the offender is probably a white Caucasian male in his 40s or older from the local area.
[I'm just trying to report what was said, not agreeing with it.]
Also appearing:
- Reporter Michael Usher (7 News, formerly Sixty Minutes): secrecy around William's foster status made the public sceptical: "There's something they're not telling us!"; the crime is the hardest type to solve: "seen - seized - grabbed - gone".
- Reporter Samantha Crowe (Prime7 News): Kendall locals knew William was in foster care and thought there must be sinister reasons for it not being reported.
- Former Deputy Commission of NSW Police, Nick Kaldas: police had an obligation to initially search for William as a lost child; it was difficult for police to tiptoe around the secrecy laws governing foster care.
- Former Commander, Australian Federal Police, Grant Edwards: it's not possible to generalise about the profile of a paedophile or child-sex offender, they present in different ways and may seem to live a normal life.
- FGM's neighbour, Millicent Jones: has no idea what happened to William; Kendall people feel a sense of sadness.
There was apparently no involvement in the show by any of the parents, bio or foster, except in short clips from old interviews, but bio dad's mum visited Benaroon Drive and spoke up for both William and her son.
Also, there was apparently no involvement by Strike Force Rosann or NSW Police, as far as I could tell.
Next week: an accusation against FA by someone who visited him in jail at the request of police. As Blues Clues (in post 238) suggested, this might be the protected witness who appeared at the inquest in March 2020?
