Detectives raid property in search for missing toddler William Tyrell
DETECTIVES have reportedly raided a property on the New South Wales mid-north coast in the search for missing toddler William Tyrell who vanished without a trace four months ago.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports homicide detectives are now almost certain the three-year-old was abducted.
Wearing a Spiderman suit, William disappeared from his grandmother’s Kendall home, just south of Port Macquarie on September 12.
He was playing in the backyard with his sister.
A thorough 10-kilometre search of the surrounding bushland, which involved members of the NSW Police, Rural Fire Service, State Emergency Service and hundreds of locals, failed to find any trace of the young boy.
The Sydney newspaper this afternoon reported that detectives travelled from Sydney to the neighbouring suburban town of Laurieton, south of Port Macquarie, on Tuesday to search a unit above a set of shops.
It’s believed they spent most the day searching the property where they seized a number of items, including computer equipment and a single mattress which will undergo forensic testing.
“Today police are searching a number or premises and speaking with numerous people as the search for William Tyrell continues,” a NSW Police spokesman told reporters.

False reports are often planted by Police so the suspect does not get alarmed and flees, but remains, feeling safe where he/she is.
Going back in time there were reports that Police are getting close to arresting a subject in NSW, while all the time they were closing in on the criminal in Victoria.
I take every bit of News with a grain of salt.
Drama sells newspapers, especially when unsolved crimes are of interest.

Let's hope the bones found are animals like they have said they could be.

On the other hand, if he really is dead - which, sadly, does seem the most likely scenario - then perhaps it might even be a relief if the bones do turn out to be William's.
I woudn't have thought though that he had been missing long enough for his body to have been reduced to a handful of bones.

You are right, Erica. The public and the press are told what they need to be told for various reasons, and it might be a long way from the truth.
I feel for the family, not knowing what has happened, although they would be told more than the public.

They're animal bones.

The first 24...........
as in hours are crucial, especially for missing children, and sadly, I think if this
little man is found it won't be a happy ending for his family.
I am not a religious person, but I pray that I am wrong, dear little mite.

It was reported this morning that "a person of interest" was seen driving past the search site yesterday.
It is common for the perpetrator to visit either the search site or the burial place of his/her victim. The urge to do this overpowers the wisdom of staying away, or so I have read. These are the kind of mistakes that the investigators wait for.

I think you are correct.
I also think that the Police will be (and have been) really looking at who is watching from a distance.
Didn't the nutcase who took Daniel Morecombe return to the scene a few times ?

Even though Spedding may not have abducted William, he may know who did, lent them his van, office unit etc. There were very few people in the local area where William went missing from, that knew there were visiting children at the Grandma's house. The house itself is out of the way from a lot of passerby's.
William Tyrrell disappearance: police visit Bill Spedding's house
Today
Detectives arrived at the home of tradesman Bill Spedding on Tuesday morning as they continue to search nearby bushland in relation to the disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrrell.
The head of the investigation, homicide Detective Inspector Gary Jubelin, arrived at the Bonny Hills semi-rural property a few minutes after Mr Spedding was seen leaving in his work van about 8.30am.
Police have repeatedly stressed the 63-year-old is not a suspect but a "person of interest" in relation to the suspected abduction of the toddler who vanished from his grandmother's Kendall home almost six months ago.
The local tradesman has come under intense media scrutiny after police spent 48 hours searching his Bonny Hills property and Laurieton office in January.

Is the POI the same one police visited this morning?
Does he have to drive past there to do his job?
Who else drove past there?
I have lots of questions, lol but there are also rubber neckers who do this, aren't there? like floods.............. and accidents, some people are just determined to look.
