Also interesting to read the comments made Drs Nielssen and Diamond, omitted from the post quoting The Australian article (above):
Williams disappearance is a once in a decade crime according to Dr Olav Nielssen, a psychiatrist from the University of NSW, who has studied juvenile homicides. More than half the children who are murderers die of violent abuse. Around a quarter are killed by psychotic parents or guardians. Ten to fifteen percent are a result of teenagers fighting. And there are the drug-addled parents who give their children methadone to help them sleep.
Once, every decade or so, a child is abducted by some sexual deviant, or thrill killer, or in some other bizarre circumstance, Nielssen says. These murders are extremely rare.
If someone took William it is unlikely it was their first offence, says Dr Michael Diamond, a forensic psychiatrist and criminal profiler. You just dont do this sort of crime for the first time, he says. You would have to do other experiential things that confront you, if you are going to do something of that magnitude.
