It is just so sad. The not knowing just breaks my heart.
We can just be hopeful.

I think we have learned a lot form the inquest really,but most of it again has no impact on finding William that we know of,it hasnt answered much at all except a new time he went missing

 

[drsleuth]

The worst thing they did was remove Jubes from the case.

I agree SA.

Watching him watching these proceedings / the witnesses / the families is heartbreaking. He has unfinished business.

Unfortunatley I think there are a lot of egos in play, " saving face" , digging in of heels......all very sad for poor William

 

[Thebottomline]

Meg’s say so doesn’t cut it for me and I’d need more hard evidence, photos, witnesses even phone pings.

They looked so confident in the footage

 

[they'll get you]

I'm really starting to wonder if we will ever find out what happened to William tgy

Me too Doc, me too.

Couple ‘on verge of nervous breakdowns’ over Tyrell search

January 23, 2015

A COUPLE whose home was searched in the hunt for missing toddler William Tyrell are on the “verge of nervous breakdowns” as they face weeks of uncertainty.

William “Bill” Spedding, 63, had his Bonny Hills family home searched for over two days before detectives removed police tape around the property today.

“We’re cooperating with the police,” Mr and Mrs Spedding told the Nine Network today.

“It has been very difficult. I wish to thank our family and friends for the overwhelming support we’ve received.

“We’ll get through this. We will.”

Mr Spedding had visited the home of the missing three-year-old’s grandmother in nearby Kendall last year, four days before the toddler disappeared.


The tradesman, who is not a suspect, had been there after a request for a quote on a washing machine repair but didn’t return to the home on the day William went missing.

Police also searched Mr Spedding’s business in Laurieton. Items seized include a mattress and computer, which will undergo potentially weeks of forensic examination.

Channel Nine reporter Chris O’Keefe interviewed Mr Spedding and his wife Margaret this morning for a report to be aired tonight. He said that the couple seemed fragile.

“He was very tired, very emotional and extremely upset about it,” O’Keefe told news.com.au

“Both said to me they were on the verge of nervous breakdowns, their life has been upturned.”

Mr Spedding has denied having anything to do with William’s disappearance on September 12 and has volunteered to speak with police about the investigation despite not having been arrested or charged with any offence.

O’Keefe said the couple had not been back to their home since Tuesday morning, although police gave them the all-clear to return today.

“They are coping by sticking together (and) keeping a low profile.

“Knowing their family is sticking behind them, and believe their story 100 per cent is making it a bit easier.”

Mr Spedding became entangled in the investigation as he visited William’s grandmother’s home four days before he went missing for a washing machine repair quote.

A close friend said the tradesman had to source a spare part but never installed it after failing to get in contact with William’s grandmother on the morning of September 12.

In the afternoon he called again and spoke to William’s mother, during the early stages of a frantic search for her son.

“She said to Bill `I am afraid you won’t be able to come to do the job, we will call when we are able’,” his friend said.

 

[JWSleuth]

You can't blame the police really, you have unrelated accusations against you at the time being, and with this kind of proceeding it's guilty until innocent rightly so to protect children.

Your assigned for a job edit: of the house a boy goes missing. and your time is sketchy.

No one remembers you clearly in a small town cafe, and can't be sure at a school.

Of course you should be checked. Maybe the media went too hard and they should be sued. But as far as POI - 100%


I have no idea nothing makes sense and we have not heard a lot. My pick from what we no is new and risky POI.

Adding in...

I hope witnesses were protected and it has not had an impact on statements.

 

[they'll get you]

and the news article says..appears to be cleared

And the physic
And Meg’s body language.

More evidence please.

Family defends man at centre of Tyrrell search

It is understood in the days after William disappeared, and as hundreds of volunteers searched for the toddler in surrounding bushland, Mr Spedding’s work whitegoods van was spotted in the Kendall street outside William’s grandmother’s home.

It sat alone among police and emergency services cars.

An excavator was brought in, septic tank drained and forensic police searched a basement below Mr Spedding’s rented semi-rural property on Wednesday.

A number of items were seized, including a mattress and a computer, after an earlier search of Mr Spedding’s pawnbroker business, “Speddo’s” in nearby Laurieton.


Police have reiterated Mr Spedding, a carer to three grandchildren, is not a suspect in William’s disappearance.


Mr Spedding took refuge in an apartment in a neighbouring town as the search and media attention continued.

Close friend Colin fears the damage may already have been done. “He is very upset of course,” he told AAP.

“They are trying to cope with it. Even if it’s totally untrue, things like that stick.” His family also leapt to his defence.

“My uncle I love him his (sic) innocent, he would never hurt a fly,” niece Shay Handsaker wrote on Facebook.

Another relative said she felt sick and upset at things that had been said about Mr Spedding.

Mr Spedding and his wife Margaret have been described as loving guardians to the three grandchildren they live with in the Bonny Hills home.

Colin said the couple moved from Wellington to the mid-north coast five years ago for health reasons and into the Bonny Hills property about 12 months ago so there was more room for the children.

Police finished their meticulous search on Thursday and removed police tape from around the family home.

.....A close friend said the tradesman had to source a spare part but never installed it after failing to get in contact with William’s grandmother on the morning of September 12.??

That is exactly why I wondered if the Thursday part was the one he needed to fix the machine.

And do we know that a part arriving on Friday was definitely for FGM's machine? I hope that has been checked out closely, too. Seems that the questioning was very incomplete.

But perhaps the Coroner knows the answers, and is keeping her cards close.

Fourth man is quizzed in hunt for William Tyrrell
JANUARY 2, 201610:16AM

Another person of interest has emerged in the William Tyrrell case as the desperate search for the little boy enters its third calendar year.

ANOTHER person of interest has emerged in the William Tyrrell case as the desperate search for the little boy enters its third calendar year.
The Saturday Telegraph can reveal detectives have interviewed Derek Nichols, an elderly man listed on the child protection register, several times and searched his home on the state’s mid-north coast.
Mr Nichols said he had nothing to do with the four-year-old’s disappearance and is not connected to William’s family.
“I was living in Kendall and the police came to see me because I was on the child protection register,” Mr Nichols told The Saturday Telegraph.
“The most significant one was in May when they came and inspected my house.”
Mr Nichols said he was on the child protection register for crimes committed in Victoria. He said he was living in Dunbogan when William went missing and said he did not know anybody connected to the case.
It is the second time the tiny town of Dunbogan, south of Port Macquarie, has been provided as an alibi to police.

Tradesman Bill Spedding, who also denies any involvement, told detectives he was repairing a washing machine in Dunbogan shortly after William went missing.
Spedding has been interviewed extensively by police and had his Bonny Hills home searched by the Strike Force Rosann team led by crack detective Gary Jubelin.

Police found a Spiderman doll in Spedding’s Volkswagen work van — a toy he claimed was given to him by his grandson to keep him company.
There were more than 20 people on the child protection register in the area directly surrounding the Kendall home of William Tyrrell’s grandmother.

Police spoke to all of them but not all have had their homes searched.

Mr Nichols’ denial comes as another roadblock emerged for police in their investigation. It can be revealed no evidence was discovered in a car seized from a paedophile on the state’s mid-north coast in September.
Forensic testing of a white station-wagon belonging to convicted child molester Tony Jones failed to turn up any trace of William or clues about his disappearance.

A fourth man, Paul Bickford, a convicted paedophile, has also been questioned in the case.
Detectives attached to strike force Rosann seized the vehicle from near the Wauchope family home of Jones, who is serving a three-year jail sentence, on September 16.
Despite the lack of evidence, Chief Inspector Jubelin renewed his commitment to seeing the case through.
“The investigation into the disappearance of William Tyrrell remains a priority for the NSW Police Force,” he said.
“It doesn’t sit well with us, particularly at this time of year, that we still don’t know what happened to William. Any information, no matter how seemingly innocuous could be vital.”

 

[they'll get you]

It is just so sad. The not knowing just breaks my heart.
We can just be hopeful.

Ok chin up guys it’s a process of elimination.
Pray we’re getting closer.

yeh i just dont get it

 

[they'll get you]

Wow feel like media has taken us all on a ride in the wrong direction

Sue the media not the cops.

Oops they already have?

 

[sosocurious]

yeh i just dont get it

Suss

 

[katydid23]

Were Derek Nichols, Tony Jones or Paul Bickford, discussed or interviewed in this inquest?

 

[they'll get you]

They looked so confident in the footage

I’ve noticed how cocky she has been when leaving Downing Centre.
I’d go so far as to say smart *rsed.

Tony Jones is meant to appear. They say he is on the witness list.

Maybe just relieved.
