I think it is a matter of ... where exactly were these 2 cars supposedly parked? I had thought the cars were on the other part of Benaroon, in front of the house with the fence in front of it. I believe there is even a photograph posted in the WT thread at some point(s) showing 2 very similar vehicles, parked in just such a location. (I seem to recall that sillybilly had posted a pic of this at one point, among other members as well).
Where is 50/52? According to the neighbourhood map I have, there is no #50?
I found a link to prior threads in which the exact location of the vehicles was discussed and shown on photos/drawings/whatever:
Australia - Australia - William Tyrrell, 3, Kendall, NSW, 12 Sept 2014 - #24
Please see post #s 141 and 143 on WT thread #24.
Keep in mind that FM said (during the 1st FP interview recorded one year after WT's disappearance - link is here:
)
the cars were parked between two driveways, and that she could see them as soon as she woke up from the bedroom. (Wondering which bedroom the FPs stayed in while visiting FGM house? The master bedroom is on a different side of the house than the other 2 bedrooms, according to floorplans which have been posted.) FM's interview words describe running down towards the house with the swingset after WT's disappearance, and remembering that by then, the cars were not there. So I do not believe the cars were parked where you are indicating in your post above. jmo.
Transcribed (by me) from interview#1, part#1 from link above, for reference to exact location of the 2 vehicles:
"... When we woke up I always, I always open up the, the sliding door that’s on the verandah looking out back down Benaroon Drive from Mom, Mom’s place. ...
"... I’m looking out over the um the verandah, and I see two cars, and I see these two cars, just sitting there in the road, and my first thought was, oh that’s, that’s odd. ...
"... both these cars had their driver’s side windows down, and I just looked again and I thought, oh that’s weird because they were parked in the middle of two driveways, and, yeah, and I had direct view of them, they would’ve had direct view of me, because if you park there you can see us...
"... the next time I saw those cars, uh, William and I were playing, um, in the garden and we were playing chasies and things like that and I remember just looking over my, I don’t know, I just remember having this, this feeling, and looking over, uh, my shoulder, and they were still there, and I’ve looked a bit closer and I don’t, I don’t seem to, I couldn’t see anybody inside, but I remember looking at these cars thinking, why are they still there? Annd, the driver’s windows were down and I’m thinking, they’re so close together, and it was really odd because in the whole time that Mom and Dad have lived at Kendall, there has never ever been cars parked on that street. Ever. ...
"You could normally, what happens is people come in and park in driveways. Or they park close to the house. I mean these driveways are huge. To park on a road, then walk down a driveway, probably takes you three or four minutes. So it, it, it just didn’t make sense to me, that you know, I’m in Kendall, why do I think it’s an issue, because Kendall’s not the city, and I kick myself, I kick myself in terms of why didn’t I note down the, the number plates. But the logic part of me says you know what? In Sydney you’d write down the number plate. In Kendall? There’s no reason to write down a number plate. It is one of the most safest towns in New South Wales.
"... I actually walked across where that white station wagon was...
"... as Chris Raleigh’s coming up Benaroon Drive, I’m on the left hand side, standing near where that white car, that white station wagon was, I’ve walked past there and flagged him down and said who I was ...
"... I remembered it that night on the way back that there were two cars there, and I raced down to the command van, cause they’d set up a command centre in the backyard, and I raced down there and I said I remembered the two cars. ...
"I realized that they weren’t there that night when I remembered walking across the road to see Chris Raleigh in his car coming up.
"I definitely saw them with William, yeah.. [my note: here she means that she definitely saw the cars during the time when WT was still playing, she does not mean that she saw the car WITH him, just for clarification!]
"I raced down the road cause I thought maybe if he’s walked down the road, there’s a house there that’s got a swingset, I thought maybe he’s gone to play on the swings. The, one of the women didn’t go to work, she phoned work and said I’m not coming in and she stayed with me the whole time, running around, trying to find him, William. (crying). And then I reached the point and I thought, he’s not on this estate, I have to phone the police. So we’d been looking for William for a, what I thought for a very short time, but it turns out we’d been looking for him for a really long time and the problem is, when you’re in such, when you’re panicked and you’re shocked, there’s lots of stuff that you don’t remember straight away? And I remembered this detail that night. Those cars were not there, they were not there when we were looking for him. "
