‘New info’ revealed in Tyrrell search

POLICE have confirmed “new information” has come to light about the 2014 disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrrell as strike force detectives revisited the location where he was last seen.

On Sunday, Homicide Squad’s Strike Force Rosann marked the seven-year anniversary of the disappearance of William Tyrrell by revisiting his foster grandmother’s home on the NSW mid-north coast.

“Further information has since come to light, as part of our ongoing review of the materials gathered by investigators since the moment William went missing seven years ago,” officer-in-charge Detective Chief Inspector David Laidlaw said.

Police did not comment further as to what the new information was, but last week it was reported detectives had renewed their inquiries into a person of interest who had previously been dismissed. Shortly before 10.30am on Friday September 12, 2014, William was playing in the yard of his grandmother’s home on Benaroon Drive, Kendall, when he vanished without a trace.

Homes, forests, creeks and paddocks were searched throughout rural Kendall but the boy could not be found.
