Do you notice the occupant behind the curtains looking at the google maps car taking photos.
I agree the google maps car was detected
Looking at this photo, I'm thinking that if William was taken from this side of the house that is at the front of the photo (i.e. looking towards the garage door), who would have seen him? That window with the lace curtains does not look like the kitchen window, at which the mother would have been making a cup of tea. It also doesn't look to me as being the side of the house at which the grandmother was sitting. I reckon that porch is either at the side of the house that looks up the hill, or at the side under the high balcony, which looks down Bendaroon Drive towards Batar Creek Road.
My take on it being the first visit, is that perhaps the grandmother only recently moved there. However by the same token she could not have been a stranger to Kendall, because there is talk of her being a very active member of the community and it sounded like she had been involved there for quite some time. Perhaps the 'first visit' reference is another allusion to something about the family that is 'difficult to report'?? Police have said there is no evidence of family conflict.
Msm reports that the grandmother's house was searched from top to bottom. I wonder whether they did that to other houses in the street too? I recall there being reference to searching in yards etc. A person could have picked William up and carried him from the vicinity of that corner of the grandmother's house. They might have carried him further, behind back fences of other houses. Maybe there was a waiting car some distance away... Or, a neighbour could have placed William in their own car and driven away... Did police dogs search neighbours' cars, I wonder? A neighbour's car driving into or out of Bendaroon Drive would not have aroused as much suspicion as an unknown car. If William had been wrapped up in something once he was taken away from his grandmother's property - if that were the case - would that have masked his scent, I wonder??
In any case, it sounds like everywhere around the street and immediate vicinity of houses, any scent of William was contaminated by people searching.
I also noticed that reference to 'any known sex offenders in the town or street...'. I thought they'd be hard pressed to find one in a place as small as Kendall let alone that street!! But perhaps I'm sadly wrong. It could also be sloppy reporting... As I've thought before, though, not all sex offenders have a record of being sex offenders...
