New search launched for William Tyrrell
William Tyrrell disappearance: New search in bushland for missing
Police will today launch a new four-week forensic search in bushland as part of their investigations into the disappearance of William Tyrrell.
William, then aged three, was playing in the yard of his grandmother's property in Kendall on the NSW Mid North Coast on September 12, 2014.
Hundreds of locals and emergency services workers spent 10 days looking for him in the rural township, forests, creeks and paddocks.
They thought he was simply lost, and not the possible victim of a crime.
But they found no trace of William.
NSW Police have now announced detectives from Strike Force Rosann, formed to investigate William's disappearance, will begin the forensic search in bushland near the Kendall home.
The large-scale operation will be co-ordinated by search experts from NSW Police's public order and riot squad.
The fresh search is part of plans to go back over old ground because the original search was "not thorough enough", a police source told The Daily Telegraph.
“We are just ticking all the boxes and making sure everything is being done thoroughly, the source told the newspaper.
On the second anniversary of William's disappearance in 2016, the NSW government announced a $1 million reward for information leading to his recovery.
William's foster parents and biological parents have all been ruled out as suspects in the disappearance.
Lead investigator Detective Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin is due to speak to media at the site this morning.
Last year, on the third anniversary of his disappearance, his foster family maintained hope of finding him alive.
"William, we will never stop loving you," they said in a statement in September.
"We will never stop looking for you."
