Australia Australia - William Tyrrell, 3, Kendall, Nsw, 12 Sept 2014 - #38

[Wexford]

Is that why he initially came up as a poi?
From memory I think it was Col that said something like that being the reason.

That right Col said he was there on Monday the 8th. Spedding corrected that in his u tube release, claiming it was the Tuesday the 9th.

Didn't he come to police attention because of inconsistencies in his alibi on the day William disappeared?

Correct possibly due to the fact that people did not remember seeing him where he said he was (one would assume the coffee shop and school).
We’re for Sydney | Daily Telegraph
Also of interest to me was at what point did his name get announced in the media. Was it before or after the historic allegations came to light? As in, was he named in the media simply for being at the house and having an inconsistent alibi and then someone who knew him saw his name and said there were historic allegations against him (unlikely) or was it that someone knew he had been at that particular house and then said there were historic allegations against him and then the media reported it? This more likely scenario says to me that someone very close to him dropped him in it. It would be interesting to know who.

I believe he was named as a poi before the arrest was made for the historical sex crimes

I agree.
He was named as a poi when his home and office was raided in late January 2015. He and Marg gave their interviewed in the park. BS himself said he was a poi and the police were just doing their job and it was 'our' turn to be investigated, as I recall.

However it seems the media were hinting about Spedding almost at once. Mention of a washing machine repair van in the street a week or two later (which would have been when Spedding came back to finish the repair). No significance attached to it, just a description of the street, but unlikely to be coincidental.

The 1st thing police would have done is checked what went on at 48 beforehand. Checked outgoing and incoming calls and would have seen the Spedding link. Then checked him out. Then there was the woman whose children had been fostered by the Speddings and her story. That is why he was honed on and then alleged historic offenses came to light and the story goes on. That is why Spedding has high powered legals on side.

Currently there is no public proof of inconsistencies in his alibi/s. No statement by police just media beatup and discussions here.

Just as there is no public proof of consistencies. Based on what has been reported in MSM in-depth discussion is more than justified, IMO. After all, isn't that what WS is all about?

I guess too if his alibi had been tight then he wouldn’t be a poi appearing at an inquest into a missing child .

Spedding had his business in Laurieton and would have been known in that community and possibly visited the cafe on occasions. This would make it difficult for prospective witnesses to say yes I saw him at a particular time on a particular date.

And who knows how many other POI s will also be appearing? Currently certainly not the media or anyone here.

One would think it would make it easier. Imo

Maybe the media do know but aren’t allowed to tell us yet. Perhaps. Imo

But we do know a few of them, as you know, when you were on this thread before you left . Imo

Spedding had his business in Laurieton and would have been known in that community and possibly visited the cafe on occasions. This would make it difficult for prospective witnesses to say yes I saw him at a particular time on a particular date.

I guess it would depend when the Laurieton community were initially interviewed.

If the police were informed by the foster family that they had been expecting Spedding that morning and had been waiting around for him, I would think the police may have been following up on his movements quite quickly ... particularly as a police officer or two thought things weren't right that day. That William may not be lost in the forest, and so the sex offenders squad was called in (I believe that happened within 10 days of William's disappearance).

 

[Thebottomline]

That’s right, who knows who else but that wasn’t what I asked. I was stating that Spedding very obviously I would think does not have a viable alibi for that day .

18 September was when he returned.

We don't know if he had a viable alibi on the day. And not having a witnessed verifiable alibi does not prove or insinuate guilt.

And if police were told a repairman was expected to make contact sometime on the day that would have supported Speddings's story that he had tried and could not get thru. That would be verifiable. He tried later and was verified by FM who has said he made contact in the arvo.

No it wouldn't because it would be very difficult to recall exact time and day. It would not be something that goes into instant recall of memory unless something at that exact time prompted memory of any witnesses.....like they spoke to him about something particular. Not even cafe staff remembered they had to rely on a till receipt.

If Spedding's name came out that day it would have been different. His name came out a few weeks later.

There nay be many others only the police know about. The media are not the be all and end all. Before I left ....hmmm...do you know something I dont know?

 

[purpleandgreen]

Well it does if he says he was somewhere else. IMO. If he’s innocent, why would he lie? IMO

 

[purpleandgreen]

You were ‘in absentia’ so to speak, for a while. IMO.

The media still know more than we do. IMO

That’s in your opinion, of course, just like most of us acknowledge. IMO.
