The timeline has always been a huge problem for some of us. And not in the minutia that some are scrutinising. But in the fact that for a child who disappeared between those proof of life photos and the 000 phone call at 10:57, the time is VERY short for a coverup by 4 people that has lasted for 10 years. And very short for a 'guilty party' to call the police.
It is not a bad thing that Dan is pointing this out through his podcast. Especially when there are so many others questioning the latest police direction.
That now infamous 'we know where, we know how, we know why' obviously just isn't true.
imo
Playing devils advocate here SA, there was 1 hr 20 mins between the ‘proof of life ‘ photo at 9.37am and when the 000 call was made at 10.57am ( just realised how neatly that rounded out!) A lot can be done in an Hour 20 mins if you’re committed.
If we pull it back to the time FF arrived home at 10.33am, there’s a period of
56 minutes from the Photo time …. Almost 1 hour. Still a significant amount of time.
The focus has been on a drive to the riding school which has been suggested would take 5 mins there and back. To quickly load and unload a child from a car ( no seatbelts required) could take as little as 10 mins - that’s a total of scant 15 mins., but plenty of time available for extra activities.
Looking at time span between FF arrival home & the 000 call - 24 mins … enough time to talk to AMS, run up & down Benaroon to Bus stop etc,
but IMO FM was already on Benaroon when FF arrived home. .. AMS said she heard a male voice calling for William, and FGM said he was there when she came up from looking for FM, and he already knew - it’s possible she had alerted him to William being missing and that was the reason for deleted texts.
Also makes sense of her question to him on her arrival to him ‘have you got William ?’
It’s been suggested the drive may have happened After FF’s return - I don’t recall any substantiation of that by the neighbours that were now assisting her ( was it AMS with her when she made the 000 call) But it still would’ve been possible in that 24 mins - perhaps the car was already loaded, perhaps she excused taking FGM car because FF had keys to their car … I have no idea … of anything.
If there is a cover-up, I don’t think it necessarily has to involve 4 people.
But I just keep reminding myself of ‘cause and effect’ as I continue to pray for the solutions to this awful situation to become clear, so William’s family can have their much needed answers.
