I just wanted to refer you to a recent post I made, iailwa:

Granted it has been almost a year since DCI Jubelin made those statements to MSM but when you compare three years to the seven years it took to gather enough evidence to arrest Daniel Morcombe's murderer and the five decades to do the same to Cheryl Grimmer's, it may put the time taken to investigate William's disappearance into context. Each crime is different, each investigation is different and of varying degrees of complexity so really there is no definitive amount of time in which a crime should be solved. I know it's frustrating and it seems as if nothing is happening, or happening 'fast enough', but we need to put our faith in the members of Strike Force Rosann. If they needed information from the public to move forward with their investigation into William's disappearance, I trust that they would waste no time in asking for it.
Great post but with differences, as you say. Cheryl dissapeaed 40 +? years ago or so, when investigations were much less sophisticated. In Daniel's case there was a guy standing behind him (but no CCTV, & no speeding vehicles seen leaving the area). Also, investigations have improved since then. I just think the lack of public knowledge could be hindering the investigation. I know the police are wanting more than anything to find his anductor, but really, they will have less info unless they share. Each case is different as you say, and difficult to compare. Alas
