Exactly what I was thinking. I thought the same about the requests the lawyer made last week that were knocked back by the coroner. The requests seemed more interested in attacking the process than actually what the inquest is about. Finding William.
The recent podcast Nowhere Child states that BS is no longer a POI. I have heard him referred to as a former POI but this is the first time I have seen or heard that he is no longer a POI. Anyone else?

The inquest was also told on Monday that more than 400 "persons-of-interest packages" were created as police tried to identify and interview every person who could have taken William.

Acknowledging "person of interest" wasn't an official term used by NSW Police and had no settled definition in policing worldwide, Det Sgt Beacroft said the threshold for nominating someone a person of interest was very low.

'Boy seen in car' the day of William Tyrrell’s abduction: Inquest

I wonder who might now be considered genuine suspect/s?

Swift asks Det Beacroft about several other sightings of cars on that day by other neighbours. She tells the court she was not responsible for investigating all of them. @10NewsFirst @10Daily

Det Beacroft is asked about the green car the foster mother saw drive up Benaroon Drive and turn around the day he disappeared. She tells the court that car has not been identified but a detailed description has been provided. @10NewsFirst @10Daily

Swift asked Det Beacroft if her involvement in the investigation was a change in strategy. She responded “I would say it always had attention to detail, it wasn’t just my arrival that gave the investigation that attention”. @10NewsFirst @10Daily

Det Beacroft tells the court it was a “very difficult investigation, with no eye witnesses, no crime scene, no forensic evidence”. @10NewsFirst @10Daily

Given that every article about WT STILL gets comments about how "I bet the family did it" "was he even there" "dodgy that it happneed when the dad wasn't there" etc etc, I think it's a good thing if they do make public the scrutiny that the cops placed the foster family under! The FFC made clear on the Where's William podcast that they were considered suspects and treated as such and investigated thoroughly, included by Jubelin, but not everyone listens to podcasts.

the child in the spiderman suit seen in the car must have been sitting quite high up to be able to see his chest with the spiderman symbol on it?
unless it was the childs chest pressed against the window and he wasnt strapped in?

i wonder what the noise was that made him instinctively go outside to look?
he said he thought it was the postie but maybe there was another sound?

She said Mr Chapman was a “well respected” member of the Kendall community and had participated in a video walk-through of the incident.

The sighting occurred when “he was at home, he heard a noise and thought it might be the postie”, counsel assisting the inquest Gerard Craddock told the hearing.Mr Chapman “went outside the house and saw a vehicle driving from the direction of Batar Creek Rd along Laurel St and he saw a child in the back seat”

I want to know when Mr Chapman first reported seeing the kid in the spiderman suit. Memories are so notoriously unreliable even when you swore you saw something. So easy for the mind to imprint that image of the spiderman suit over a memory of a kid who was actually wearing something else. He's being further questioned later so I look forward to finding out more. If he told the cops that's what he saw literally that day, then it has a lot more weight than if he suddenly "remembered" seeing it years later.

I *think*he did the video walkthrough in 2016?

Totally agree with you re witnesses recall, they are very often unreliable.
I’d love this to be true, and would be very impressed with his observation powers, I doubt Id recall or have time to take in that the child was wearing a spiderman outfit just from a fleeting glance.

unless he was familiar with the spiderman suits from seeing them on children within his own family and thats why it stuck in his memory, it could have reminded him of someone?

I think he has merged two memories, would be huge coincidence that the child over the road as well as child in car both were wearing Spiderman suits.
