Australia Australia - William Tyrrell, 3, Kendall NSW, 12 Sept 2014 - # 8

If she's anything like my Gma..she'd have told him names, ages, star signs and whipped out a few photo's over coffee.

I think the children's foster situation might have meant she wouldn't.

I think the children's foster situation might have meant she wouldn't.

Do those laws really extend to not being able to talk about the kids at all? I thought the laws were just about not identifying them in the media (with "media" extending to school newsletters and websites etc)
They're not invisible. They still attend school, preschool, go out etc. You can't hide their existence!

 

[frogwell]

ONLY days before William Tyrrell was abducted, his grandmother told repairman Bill Spedding she was expecting a stay-over visit from her family and could he fix her faulty washing machine.

That revelation calls into question toddler William’s trip to the mid north coast being a total “surprise” that nobody other than his parents could have known about.

The article doesn't reference who revealed this information, the grandmother or BS. So I can't consider this point.

The 'surprise' element of the visit only being the early arrival, is hardly relevant.
They thought he was going to be there Friday. And he was kidnapped Friday. So who cares if he arrived Thursday as a surprise. It doesnt matter.

I alway took it that the entire visit was a surprise. This is something that never made sense (from any point of view), so maybe it was reported wrong.

In any case, they would have had to let FACS know that they were going there. You cant move foster kids around and do overight stays without informing authorities.

What I find odd is that there is a newsletter available online which very clearly identifies William and his foster family. I cant believe it hasn't been removed!! It talks about the death of the grandfather, and Williams disapppearance.. using first and last names!

Not sure if Im allowed to share the link? I suspect not. Although it is freely available..

This all comes back to one single news article that described the scene at the end of a days searching, that just happened to mention a van that could easily of been BS's.

Some people on the forum have decided it was definitively BS van.

Granted it was odd to have it mentioned specifically in the news article, well before BS was jumped on by the media at the displeasure of the police.

William 'Bill' Spedding's van was spotted at the scene of a massive hunt for toddler William Tyrell before his house was searched as part of a homicide investigation.

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.

Im sure the police would have looked at media footage to see who/what was around during the search.

One of the saddest things in all of this is the terror I have for my kids now. I found myself keeping extra careful tabs on my kids and some workmen who came in today to do a 5 min job. I've become terribly rude, they try to create conversation and I am giving clipped replies with no information to ppl just creating conversation and noting (due to boxes everywhere) that we are moving. I feel terrible for thinking of regular people in this way .

 

[Adrianna]

I just listened to the interview and she says they'd gone up to visit her mum's "a surprise visit" and they'd left early the night before "to surprise nanna".

That could be interpreted either way - a total surprise, or that going early was the surprise.

http://media.canberratimes.com.au/n...lliam-went-missing-parents-speak-6450695.html - it's at about the 2 minute mark

I have listened to the 20 mins interview a few times and my interpretation was that the surprise visit was arriving on the Thursday evening.

 

[Karo]

He went back the next week to fix the washing machine.

Incredibly obscure reporting. By definition it is not something only the parents knew about if in the same paragraph you said the grandmother also knew.

What they are alluding to (in a completely inaccurate way) is the fact the visit might have happened a day earlier.

Anyone reading that lame reporting would have zero chance of getting an accurate picture.

When interviewing people in the area the police would have to wade through this obfuscated crap people have learned and convinced themselves of indirectly.

If a plumber found a childs garment and reported it, then that is an entirely plausible trigger for the initial search of the house. Might not suit the demonising narrative from the media.

 

[fruity]

The surprise was that they were arriving early. Thursday instead of Friday.

That has only come to light recently iirc. Before that it was reported widely that the entire trip was a surprise.

 

[Adrianna]

was an opps - my head is not in the right place today.

Is it weird that a plumber even reported this? There was 3 kids living in the house, and a kids shirt was found in a drain. You'd think plumbers would see stuff like this all the time.

Although I suppose everyone was more suspicious / on alert after this disappearance.

Actually, I didn't say it, MSM did.

I don't mean to be rude, but there is something very troll-like about some of the posts on this forum.

 

[Newme2]

How many washing machine repair vans would there be in a small town like Kendall?

ETA a friendly heads up to posters that it is against WS TOS to post about private messaging. We don't want to get in trouble.

Karo, I was replying to Butters comment!!
