Love the stats, thanks Blues clues
I agree. William's grandma may have told anyone about William's visit. They in turn could have told someone else (a child abductor for e.g). I wonder if someone who lives at Batar creek found out, even? It's easy to see how the others found out if she told BS.
"Most of the males abducted tend to be victims of stranger abduction." (v's someone known to them).
"He (the abductor) usually either lives in the neighbourhood where the abduction takes place or frequents that area during his everyday activities." (BS, AJ, Music man). I don't know that PB comes to the area, but we know the others do... JMO
"17.1% of child killers live alone, and
33.2% live with their parents" (A neighbours son?)
"In the initial study, the name of the killer was almost always in police files within the first week. When the supplemental cases were studied, that proved to no longer be the case".
Funny that last one. The writer suggested this could be because abductors are becoming smarter.
Not forgetting the outliers in stats, anything could have happened unfortunately
But the person who took William could well fit into this profile, given it's the norm. It seems to suggest he was taken by stranger, who either lives nearby or frequents the area, or a neighbour. That about covers all the
POIS (lol), including the batar creek POI, if there is such a POI... JMOO
