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.

No updates??

It’s been a very long time with no updates whatsoever which is disappointing. I had a dream with William in it he had a crown 👑 on his head smiling I said to him oh your a king 🤴 he looks away and then showed me a playing card and it was the queen of hearts and he kept pointing to the queen. The following day I was telling my mum about it on the phone and said it was like he was trying to tell me something as I’ve always had connections and messages through my dreams which my mum knows about. Later that night she messaged me saying that she looked up the place William went missing from and that there’s a lake or river nearby called queens lake or river I immediately had goosebumps and the hair on my arms stood up I was in shock and said that’s it that’s where he is. Now is he in the water I don’t think so but I have a feeling he might be buried along side of it as a few weeks later I dreamt that he was rolled up in a large rug and was on the back of an old Ute with a man driving down a dirt road to like a fishing spot beside the water and that’s where he was buried. I hope 🤞 one day they will search for him again and find him so he can finally be in peace and he needs justice. Please find William 💖💖💖 reopen his case.

Speculative and hard listening (presenter!)

Such a heartbreaking situation yet the opportunity to provide insight and understanding to the general public, particularly around ‘taboo’ topics like the foster system. Would have loved to hear more from former Snr Detective Gary Jubelin. Wasted opportunities made all the worse by THAT voice!!

Voice terrible

Voice is really hard to listen to with all the inflections.
