Australia Australia - William Tyrrell Disappeared While Playing in Yard - Kendall (NSW) #79

  • #1,021
“We’ve found new witnesses, we found some potential connections between this person of interest and some other unsolved cases on the New South Wales mid North Coast that are not William Tyrrell,”

“What struck me throughout, is the evidence we’ve uncovered, a lot of it was known to police or could have been known to the police if they went asking questions. And time and time again, it seems that they haven’t,”

For Box and Young, it’s not just about bringing William home, it’s about finding answers to the hundreds of unsolved homicides across New South Wales.

“There are hundreds and hundreds of families whose loved ones were murdered or went missing and have no answers,”

“I would love for there to be a proper investigation, firstly, into what went wrong with the William Tyrrell investigation, but also an investigation into what went wrong with all these other unsolved homicides. Because the closer you look at them, you realise that things were done wrong in a lot of them.”

Box said: “It takes a toll. I don’t know if I’ll do crime reporting again after this.”

Sounds like it has taken a toll on Dan & Nina


Thanks for your hard work Dan & Nina , never forgetting William & all victims.

So would I, but will NSW politicians have the backbone to initiate it -- and cause embarrassment to police? (I doubt it.)

I am really sickened by the way they can affect investigative reporting. Ch7 pulling down their two-part report about FA, Lia Harris' podcast being pulled down. All to push a specific narrative.

I remember Scott Cook stonewalling Hedley Thomas saying his podcast could interfere in the police investigation against Dawson. When there wasn't any further investigation, or intention to prosecute Dawson.

The top cop, the journalist and the lunch that nearly halted a murder trial

As Dan said in the new podcast interview, the reporters report what the police say in good faith, but the top brass are the ones who are controlling what the police are saying. (and allowing imo)

They even tried to get Harriet Grahame removed from running the inquest.

Episode 12 : The Bird Tree

We uncover shocking allegations about a ‘person of interest’ who was never called to answer questions in public.
 
  • #1,026

William Tyrrell is buried near the “Bird Tree” on the New South Wales Mid North Coast, according to disputed claims that were never heard during an inquest into the three-year-old’s disappearance.​


The claims were allegedly made by the brother of a convicted pedophile who was named a “person of interest” to the investigation.
Standing in deep forest around Middle Brother mountain, it is one of a pair of giant eucalyptus trees, with the other known as Benaroon.
William vanished from Benaroon Drive, which is a roughly 20-minute drive from the two trees, although the area has not been searched by police.

He was not questioned at the inquest, however, either in public or in private.

Our investigation also revealed evidence tendered to the inquest suggested Abbott’s mobile phone pinged off the Middle Brother cell tower the morning after William was reported missing. This tower is near the Bird Tree, although it covers a very wide area of land.

Members of Abbott’s family have told us they used to visit the Bird Tree as children.

“(But) pretty close to when he died, Bluey said to my son, ‘He did do it … and he’s buried up on Big Bird Mountain there, where that big tree is’.

Bird Tree and Benaroon, two of the biggest Blackbutt trees in New South Wales are situated in the Middle Brother National Park. Benaroon is rated as the largest Blackbutt in Australia and has a girth of 15 metres. Bird Tree, is 69 metres high, with a girth of 11 metres. Scientists estimate these trees predate the arrival of Captain Cook to Australia. The Bird Tree day-use area provides a loop walk past the two giant trees. This park is home to the largest and highest of the Three Brother Mountains in the Camden Haven region of the New South Wales mid-north coast. Middle Brother or Yoorigan stands 558 metres above sea level and is a dominant feature when travelling the Pacific Highway. The summit of Middle Brother is a mecca for paragliders and hang gliders. A ramp has been installed by local pilots for these sports.

So they have a ping from Abbott's phone on the Middle Forest tower at 9:22am on the morning that William disappeared. (as per the podcast, around the 33:14 mark, according to the transcript)

Edit: the ping was the following morning (Saturday), as per @drsleuth's correction below. Sorry!

The tower is located on Grey Gum Ridge Road (as per Oz Towers). Oz Towers

Quite a distance from Herons Creek, where Abbott lived at the time. Not so far from Kendall.

The ping is from the next day SA , the Saturday morning

Our investigation also revealed evidence tendered to the inquest suggested Abbott’s mobile phone pinged off the Middle Brother cell tower the morning after William was reported missing. This tower is near the Bird Tree, although it covers a very wide area of land.

Thanks. Have edited my post. I missed that bit. The ping was the morning after William disappeared.

Ray Porters car was caught driving around that morning near Kew

Porter's car was recorded passing the Kew southbound camera on the morning of September 13, 2014, and the north- and south-bound cameras at Port Macquarie, the next day.

So that’s 2 death bed confessions implicating FA…Ray Porter and Bluey?

Plus the boy who told his babysitter that Frank admitted burying WT in a suitcase


Starting to think this convicted paedophile and suspected (albeit acquitted) murderer may not have been all that wholesome. Maybe just me.

I seem to remember a member looking into this area years ago on the threads. It came up at the time when pink graffiti was found on a stump in that forest in relation to WT. The member had been looking at any other missing children cases and seen that a child had disappeared for about 12 hours on a John's river property the year before. Although it was seen as the child wandering and getting lost, the similarities were that he was of similar age to WT, the family was visiting the property for an appointment, near his older sister, it was a Friday around 10.30-11 am, many of the volunteers in the search were also in the search for WT.

The member triangulated Benaroon dr, the John's River property and some other point and was surprised to find the bird tree right in the middle of all three points in Middle Brother forest. Anyone else recollect these discussions and what thread this might be in?

Well yeah. 2 people close to FA.

Alot of the witnesses at the inquest gave evidence that FA bragged about " getting of a murder" frequently. Many seemed to be scared / wary/ " you don't want to get on the wrong side of Frank" etc. It was widely known to " keep your kids away from FA & not leave them alone with him"

I genuinely think people tried to distance themselves from FA, not upset him etc. So maybe giving a death bed confession is a way for people speaking up knowing FA can't "get them etc"

I've never been able to understand how FA has been able to be "cleared" , if he has & also I've never been able to understand how he never got to give evidence at the inquest, with no reason given.

We heard from so many witnesses in the Taree sessions speak to his character, he is vile , evil, cunning, takes advantage of people, uses people for his gains.

How he was able to have access to the brief ( I believe he did as per many of his questions to witnesses ) be able to cross examine who ever he wanted ( and he was given a lot of leeway also & repeatedly told by the Coroner that his time would come to give evidence )

Now we hear that the Coroner has a NPO over her reason, I just have more questions now.

Good on Dan & Nina doing a deep dive into FA, there will be victims everywhere he has been IMO

He's never been wholesome in my books.

Wasn't that from Aly's book??

She saw the member write about it first on here and joined the discussion on here because some of her extended family lived on that property. She wrote about the other missing child at the beginning of her book and her experience about him being found but no she didn't really add anything to investigating the bird tree site on this forum.
