Description

William Tyrrell was a three year old boy who disappeared from the village of Kendall, on the mid-north-coast of New South Wales.

Key facts were kept from the public, from day one. A lot of what was reported, especially early on, was false.

In the new podcast, Nowhere Child, The Australian’s Caroline Overington delves into a case where notions of class and privilege; opportunity and poverty came crashing together, to create a nightmare for William Tyrrell.

William Tyrrell update

William Tyrrell update

2021-11-1618:526

There has been a significant update in the case of missing toddler, William Tyrrell. NSW Police are focusing on a person of interest who had previously been ruled out by detectives and they are searching three separate locations on the Kendall property where William was last seen in 2014. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's been five months since the Nowhere Child podcast finished, the former detective Gary Jubelin has been on trial in Sydney, we won't know the outcome until the magistrate comes back in April. The inquest into William's disappearance is ongoing, with hearings due to resume in March with a result probable in the middle of the year. In the meantime Caroline Overington has finished a book on William's disappearance. Here she reads the first chapter to give a sense of the book and a later chapter to give you an idea of the kinds of things police did to try and find him.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

William Tyrrell was a three-year-old boy who disappeared from the township of Kendall on the mid-north-coast of New South Wales on 12 September 2014. William was in foster care when he went missing: his foster Mum has said he was there one minute, and gone the next. No trace of him has ever been found. The five-year investigation has torn the NSW homicide squad apart, with allegations of misconduct, mistakes, and miscalculations. We chose the title Nowhere Child: Missing William Tyrrell carefully. William is missing. He's also missed.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Living in Ireland, I had not heard of this case until I heard it on castbox so thanks for making me aware of it. It is unbelievably sad and I do hope that someday William is going safe and sound. Good work to all involved in making this podcast to generate publicity on this poor lost little boy.

This woman speaks in fragments, like she's using endless ellipses. Is that normal Australian journalistic style?

incredibly selfish of Alana Smith to insert herself in this case without knowing anything about any of the parties directly involved. ridiculous to state "the public has a right to know", and then provide very little justification.

It is a tragic case that has clearly destroyed multiple lives, and the most shocking part of this entire podcast is that there are 47,000 Australian children in state care. How is that possibly sustainable ? A Governments core function is not child minding, when do biological parents take responsibility for their choices and care for the children they concieve.

Please be very mindful of how you report on foster families. These amazing, caring, generous people open up their hearts and homes to children who are in tough situations, sometimes suffering neglect and abuse. Williams parents were both drug addicts who have both been in and out of the court system due to violence (BOTH of them) so they have absolutely no right to place blame on FACS or these amazing foster parents.
