I understand your point and I can't help but feel some assumption has been made right from the beginning that has possibly askewed this investigation, like a detective's experience or intuition in such a case, however, I would hope that any facts, evidence that came to light during the investigation would outweigh any such thing.
How could toddler William Tyrrell simply vanish into thin air?
At 11.06am the first police car arrives; word has spread throughout the township’s 800 or so residents that a little boy is lost and dozens of locals are out looking. A command post is *established outside the house on Benaroon Drive. At 11.12am the Dog Unit is dispatched. The SES is informed at 11.44am. At 12.52pm a police helicopter takes to the sky. By mid-*afternoon hundreds of people are searching for a boy who has seemingly vanished into the bush.
At 2.35pm detectives are dispatched from Port Macquarie and begin taking statements. One of them speaks to a colleague, Detective Senior Constable Vanessa Partridge, back at Port Macquarie late that afternoon; they are worried something more sinister may have taken place. Partridge arrives very early the next day, and already there are people out on *horseback, on bicycle, on foot, searching for *William. His dad is out there with them, and will be for days, thinking, “Surely if he is out here in the bush he’ll be found?”
Arriving at the house on Benaroon Drive, *Partridge is thinking, “Something just doesn’t feel right about this whole thing.”
Maybe you are referring to Detective Senior Constable, Vanessa Partridge's comment upon arriving at the house on day 2? I think it would be typical to begin a search of the surrounding area if a toddler went missing. I also think her feeling would be based upon what the FM's feelings shortly after his disappearance, WT's family history/status, any statements, observations from her colleagues from the afternoon before that stood out to them (obviously, besides not finding William, something made them concerned about something more sinister being a possibility) , results from the sniffer dogs. I don't necessarily think her statement is another way of saying that she thinks WT was abducted. Since she works on Strikeforce Rosann, I wonder if she still feels the same way as when she 1st arrived at Benaroon Dr. She was willing to share how she felt about her initial contact with the case, 1 year later on in the 60 minutes interview without saying anything conclusive about what she thinks has happened. I know that there is a part of me that still can't shake that feeling, "something just doesn't feel right about this whole thing." MOO
