It seems as this juncture, LE are out of evidence, so they’re now ‘forced’ to delve into possibilities to further the investigation. If it’s in the wrong direction, there’ll be another large settlement coming I’d imagine.
Just imo.
I agree. Not only a large settlement, in particular for charging them with false bidding as its not a criminal offense but a regulatory offense. This charge was the first time ever that one has been brought before a criminal court for a regulatory offense, thus the reason the police withdrew it in court and it was referred to where it should have been. This is malicious persecution. And it goes without saying, Williams sister will most likely sue as well, considering they dragged her out of school to ask hundreds of leading questions and it turned out to be mostly nothing after thousands of hours and 12 months of secret recordings. One would think that if they were listening in and a child was being abused, you would bash down the door to rescue her. But nope.
Was it a "home"? Or was it independent retirement living in Laurieton? Smaller houses that require less maintenance, and a retirement community around her.
I don't think I have ever read that FGM was going into a "home". Is there a link?
imo
Sorry, I do not have access to this article. It's a paid subscription. But I do know she was going into a home of some sorts. And I dont think she had full on dementia at the time either, as she made a statement as per below.
Before she died at the beginning of 2021, a statement from William Tyrrell's foster grandmother about the boy's disappearance was tendered at a coronial inquest.
In the statement the foster grandmother said she had two theories about the boy's disappearance, but added: 'I can't think of anyone who would want to harm William.'
The first theory she shared by police was a man who lived alone on her street, Benaroon Drive, Kendall. Her second was that William may have walked down a nearby highway with 'lots of traffic moving back and forth'.
On the morning he vanished, September 12, 2014, the foster grandmother recalled William was 'full of beans ... jumping out of his skin with energy'.
'William was dressed in his 'Spiderman' costume ... While he was playing out the back patio he started roaring like a tiger and told us he was the 'daddy tiger'.
She said her daughter took the famous last photos of William on the property's balcony and had been contemplating feeding him morning tea. It was about 10.30am.
'William lost interest in drawing pictures and rolling dice and he ran down the two small stairs of the back patio, onto the grass and he ran around the right hand side of the house (to the front).
'That is the last time I saw William.'
'About five minutes had passed and the female foster carer said: ''Mum, he's a little bit quiet' and she walked off the back patio in the direction of where we'd last seen William.'
She next saw the foster mum standing out the front of the house speaking to a neighbour and calling out William's name.
'The female foster carer walked back to the house and told me she was calling the because she couldn't find William.
'The female foster carer called the police (and the male foster carer as well). I think the male foster carer arrived home before the police but I'm not entirely sure.
'The police didn't take long to get there and I remember the officer saying he wasn't far away when the call came in.'
She recalled how the foster carers had travelled up as she was in the process of selling her house as she needed something smaller.
She said William's foster parents were concerned 'that I was going to do the wrong thing, so they decided to come up to Kendall'.
