The suspects

Police have interviewed several “people of interest” over William’s disappearance

BILL SPEDDING ‘I had no involvement’

Washing machine repairman William “Bill” Spedding – who was due to carry out repairs at the house when the toddler vanished – had his home raided and gave a 10-page statement and a DNA swab to the police in 2015. No charges were laid.

TONY JONES ‘I wasn’t in Kendall that day’

Police questioned Tony Jones numerous times and his car was seized for forensic examination. But the convicted paedophile, who was released without charge, insists he was with his “next door neighbour, getting her hot water system” when William vanished.
