One of the challenges of a high-profile investigation is that police receive huge amounts of information which has to be processed and most of which turns out to be irrelevant. Can you imagine the wide net that would be cast by a request for information about two cars of extremely common colours and not much else known about either? In my opinion it's perfectly reasonably to hold back that inquiry until more likely leads have been explored.
I agree JLZ, they had a reason to withheld this information and I respect that as they are the experts.

She didn't tell the investigators about the cars until she had arrived back from the airport... sometime late on the 12th, that's when she remembered - ASAIR - IMOO
nd this s understaful too, in the frantic hours after Williams disappearence she would have been on autopilot thinking only about finding her boy. The recollection later makes sense when she would have been reliving all of the mornings actions.

Sorry if this has been asked but which airport would the sister have arrived at ?

Wouldn't whoever took him still have to know it was risk free to do so? How did they know no one was home at the neighbours house?

They wouldn't.... they just look around... no-one is looking (that they can see) & they abduct. Sometimes they are right & no-one sees. It's happened many places in the world - including OZ

In the last few pages of the last thread SA and I posted two links from a NSWPOL profiler, Sandra Yule and a criminal psychiatrist, Dr Michael Diamond. Both said that the perpetrator would have taken incredible risk. I take that to mean that maybe the impulse to take William would have overridden any real fear they had that neighbours would be at home if they didn’t see them. In other words, they would have taken their chances.

def.. i agree... grab & run, perhaps?

My perspective about the vehicles was if FM saw them earlier in the morning when she looked out the window and then not too long after that WT turns out to be missing and the two vehicles were involved in his disappearance, wouldn't that have been very important information to jog the public's memory with?
What if whoever owned the vehicles grabbed WT and took off with him, wouldn't LE want to know if anyone observed them speeding out of the area of Kendall, and in what direction they appeared to be heading in etc.?
In the U.S. if a vehicle is involved in a child abduction it would immediately be an Amber Alert.
It would be imperative to locate such a vehicle as quickly as possible.
Just my take on it anyway.

That was just one line of inquiry. Initially, at least, William was a missing person, thought to have wandered off into the bush. Hence the huge search. The investigation into possible human intervention, while not fully discounted, would have ramped up once the initial search bore no fruit, so to speak. If you read the early MSM reports; especially in the Port Macquarie News and on the ABC News 24 website, you can get an idea of the sequence of events. They are all linked in William’s media and timeline thread.

We don’t have Amber Alerts in NSW but reports of William being missing were in the news almost immediately. Police would then have been relying on information from the public as to the whereabouts of those cars. With no recorded registration numbers and no idea if or where he had been taken, everyone who saw cars matching the vague descriptions would have been calling Crime Stoppers from all over the east coast of Australia and then nationally, depending on the time elapsed from that of William’s disappearance.

BBM in ur post above. Again the police need specific info *not * be released to the public... just in case it can help their developments. The LE did look at vehicles speeding in kendall, that is known, & the direction they were heading. IMO the release of the vehicles 1 year laTer was perhaps strategic - they said it was actually, AFAIR

Those cars are always going to be a bit of a mystery aren’t they. We all wonder the same thing about the late reporting of them but there has to be a strategic reason for it. I see no other explanation.

The case of the missing boy Terry Floyd is back in the media this week. Sorry if it’s off topic but worth a read of his story, in particular the results of coronial enquiry . Two coroners found the same man guilty. He still walks the streets but maybe not for much longer with another victim coming forward
 
  • #255
In reality, sorry Butterstick, i didn't quite catch what you were saying. Can you repeat in another way> TY!

Sure. Police saying “someone knows why we are here” does not mean the location and person is absolutely connected to WT. Even if it sounds promising to us.

You’re right, I think we cling on every word hoping for something

Did no one else see them parked there? The FF or the neighbour when they went out that morning? Or anyone else?

Odd, IMO.

I read that story and was quite heartened by it. There’s a thread for Terry on WS, if you’d like to take a look:
