Gary Jubelin I Catch Killers book extract: William Tyrrell mistakes and why the case hasn’t been cracked
It's a huge article & paywalled.
I'll try & paraphrase some of it
* Homicide called in after almost 1 week
* Police response appeared confused, who’s running the case, the local uniformed commander ( who was doing press conferences ) or the homicide squad?
* Paul Jocob sent detectives to Kendall, at that time was was being treated as a missing persons case, huge search has been carried out.
* PJ said “ The cops need to get on top of this, and quickly”
* Weeks later Hans ( cop leading the investigation ) walks past GJ’s desk, talk about case, HR says WT is a foster child, the house he went missing from is the FGM, and his biological parents had stolen WT before
* GL thinks is sounds like a good line of injuiry. . Statistically, when a child is murdered or goes missing, the perpetrator is usually someone close to them.
* Hans was months away from retiring after 40 yrs in the police
* Feeling around the office was that this should be a straight forward case to end his career on
* Almost 4 months later, in early December, Mick Willing calls GJ into office & says that there is evidence neither bio family or FF are involved. Hans had ruled them out.
* MW wanted GJ to return from unsolved homicide unit to take over when Hans retired in Febuary 2015
* MW says “ Jubes I need you to sort this out, it’s all over the place”
* GJ looks at the computer system & sees MW is right. Obvious how much was missed in those first hours & days when the local cops treated it was missing person, before homicide was called in
*GJ says houses were not properly searched, cars came & left the street without being checked & no crime scene was established.
* The
e@gle.i system shows over 1000 items, reports, statements, investigators’ notes -still waiting to be reviewed
* GJ couldn't find a written investigation plan. Only a few cops working on the case, not enough
