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

You were the one that stated he lied and I thought you must have an msm article to support what you claimed.

No I didn’t state that he lied at all. You must read and not scan and pre-empt and please look for the IMO.

 

[purpleandgreen]

That magic button is going to have to be my friend. Just letting the rest of you know why I’ll no longer be replying. Too much hard work!

 

[purpleandgreen]

Oh have the happiest and safe Christmas, my WS friends. And so much love to those who loved William so much . My heart breaks for you.

 

[Violet77]

Merry Christmas William

Thinking of William’s family today, what difficult days for them all, the special days they should be celebrating with him.

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.

Having come from a small town, it's my opinion that 'everyone knows everyone ' particularly the local business people. He would have been acknowledged on attendance at the coffee shop, possibly a conversation about the sports day or whatever would've occurred ' g'day Bill. How's things? You & Marg off to cheer the kids on at sports day ?' ...
IMO ...

 

[Warshawski]

ive always wondered what it was the first female responding officer noticed to make the comment "somethings not right" or words similar?

Female intuition ??

I spent years in small town, too. Larger than Laurieton. There would never have been hundreds of people passing through the coffee shop. There are the regulars, then the special occasion/occasional customers. An out-of-towner stuck out like a sore thumb.
People remembered who they saw, and if they hadn't seen someone for quite a while.

Same as the school. Parents know who each other are. You wouldn't even have to ask the parents. The kids could tell you whose parents were at an assembly.

That is the difficult issue. If you do see someone you know on occasions at a certain location but not everyday it is very difficult to recall weeks later a particular day and time you did see them.

Only if the children did see him and did know him. He was the grandfather and the children may not of recognized him as such.

The Speddings are not the parents.

BBM.

Exactly. The Speddings were in loco parentis to children at the assembly, in that they were their foster parents. The children attending would know if The Speddings were there; especially the children in their care.

Yes, and the other children would definitely know who The Speddings are, because they were a bit of an anomaly in this small town .... grandparents who were parenting their grandchildren.
"But mum, why don't they live with their mum and/or dad like we do? Can they come over for a playdate after school/sports?"

'Human' remains are found in rugged bushland on mid-north coast of NSW | Daily Mail Online

Police were seen surrounding a small area on Yarratt Road, Upper Lansdowne, on Thursday morning after a crew from the rural fire service made the grisly discovery about 6.10am while putting out a small fire.

The discovery was made less than an hour's drive from where three-year-old William Tyrrell disappeared from in September 2014.

The remains are believed to belong to an adult, but there are no fresh reports of anyone missing in the area.

They were grandparents looking after grandchildren. It would all depend on when the arrangement took place to care for their grandchildren. Nothing can be presumed or assumed. I doubt whether non connected general population children would be questioned weeks later btw.

GE lists time distance as over 2 hours. Adult remains so not William. Terrible article. Why mention connection to William's location and get time distance so incorrect. Shoddy work.

You might want to check GE again - it's 45 mins or 59 mins depending which way you go.

And, if you’re there, you certainly make it known to children in your care that you’ve attended. You want them to know that what’s important to them is important to you and that you are proud of their achievements. The Speddings’ foster children (Margaret’s grandchildren) would know if they attended or not.

That is for posting this, Doc. Geez...Upper Landsdowne is not far away from where William disappeared at all. Hopefully, as the remains are believed to belong to an adult, they are not William’s. A double-edged sword really. No doubt William’s loved ones want him to be found but I’m sure they would prefer him to be found alive, even now.

I think the time distance is correct but I agree that if they say they are believed to be adult bones then no need to mention William . Poor family seeing this in the news
